Did Dunne play at city with Given?

Could be the man we need to give the back four a kick in the arse!!

But again the club must fight to get a realistic valuation of the player, which I would say would be 18m plus appearance fees in the region of 2 mill rising it to 20.

and if liverpool arent willing to offer us what we consider a realistic valuation what do we do? youre saying sell him since he doesnt want to be here, im saying sell him if we get the money we're looking for and not a penny less

yeah its a tight line isnt it, liverpool are **** when it comes to coming after your players, kenny must have the decency to know that villa want more than what they paid for him, and tbh surely downing wont want to leave unless liverpool show the desire to actually come in and show they want him?

KEEP HIM IN THE RESERVES, are u **** mad!!! this guy is on big wages at villa, if he wants out, ship him on, open the door, no room for people who dont respect a club who has taken faith in u as an injured player!!

then every single player who fancies getting out on the cheap knows all they need to do is hand us a transfer request

no thanks

it needs to be treated the very same way the barry thing was. if he's spoken to pool without our permission, **** him in with the stiffs. he'll come back and make an apology when he realises he's not getting his way and his international chances are quickly disappearing

or maybe it says to players, anyone who doesnt want to show pride in playing for avfc is not welcome here...

the door always has to be open, if the valuation can be met. I dont agree with keeping players against there desires, its pure wrong, what single benefit does it give the club? tell me that

KEEP HIM IN THE RESERVES, are u **** mad!!! this guy is on big wages at villa, if he wants out, ship him on, open the door, no room for people who dont respect a club who has taken faith in u as an injured player!! I just hope the door breaks his ass on the way out!!

seriously this guy is better of gone than soaking up valuable wages and decreasing in value with less time on his contract, you would prefer a downing in reserves and us unable to sign someone else because hes taken the wages, are u serious thinking thats good business>

of course we are all jumpoing to newspaper reports and he could have no intention of leaving whatsoever, but then again its never been like that at villa with top players!!!

I agree. If you dont wanna play for villa then see you later!

N.B. as long as we get £20m for you.

Exactly, its not just about loyalty its about business, it doesnt make any sense to keep an unhappy player or member of staff for that matter. But again the club must fight to get a realistic valuation of the player, which I would say would be 18m plus appearance fees in the region of 2 mill rising it to 20.

I do despise liverpool unsettling players to turn the clubs hand at selling them tho, not the first time is it.

just because he hands in a transfer request doesnt mean anything should change. liverpool either pay what we want or they dont get him

downings not gonna refuse to play for us in the season leading up to the euros when he's in the england picture

yes but a player wanting out leads to issues and shit we dont need with young players thinking is the norm, I say let him go for 15m + if hes gonna be an asshole about it!

What a disastrous start to this transfer window for villa, our best two wingers quite possibly gone, we are left with Marc albrighton as the only winger in the squad with true flair, if downing hands in his transfer request to force his move to the reds than we must find a left winger, young, eager and ready for a new season!!

Scott Sinclair raid I think!!

At last its done

We have paid them to keep them shut up, good job, now McLeish can focus on the villa and prove to us what he can do with a proper team!

People that keep knocking Mcleish because of the football, can we please just see what he can do with a half decent team before we make so many assumptions!

face it guys its done, its him

There is about 2000 there now. 500 at the reception and 1500 at the Holte End. getting bigger by the minute by all accounts. They didn't shut the gates properly so a source as said.

Either stupidity is a contagious disease or those on this forum who took the p*ss out of the protesters may have misjudged the feelings of a large number of fans.

How is showing how u feel about possibly the worst appointment ever in the clubs history stupid? I mean come on, aslong as these guys keep it peaceful and respectful I think its a great idea, better than just sitting back and watch the club die infront of your eyes!!

Sky Sports sources understand discussions between Randy Lerner and Alex McLeish are progressing well as Aston Villa prepare to fill their managerial vacancy.

LOL, it really is gonna kick off if randy doesnt pull this out of the hat!!

I think they'll be shocked at that protest.

Agreed, I cannot see how any club can appoint a manager with no more than what 5% fan backing, it would be an absolute disaster!

Question, if AM was appointed, BUT randy announced that the he would be backed with 100m to spend (or something substancial) would fans back him then?

SSN understands there will be NO announcement tonite?!

to me the only option now to keep 80% of villa fans happy until we produce on the pitch is to appoint hughes asap, the mans been replaced so if hes not going chelsea cant we just get the f*ck on with appointing him..

if Alex Mc is appointed all hell is gonna break loose...

Journos are convinced its gonna be McKleish, are we really doing this?

If its Moyes the fans will rejoice outside VP..

just what the fudge is going on now,

hughes to chelsea,

moyes and coyle wont leave,

and SHA want cash for the man we should never sign..

just WHO is it gonna be?

Dignitas is trending on Twitter........... perhaps there is a Villa press conference going down tomorrow?

what the fudge is trending?

Time for a new poll/thread I think......

If it is there should be some realism about it..

Hughes

Ranieri

McKleish

Hughton

oh AND grayson

Anybody any notion who was on this shortlist

Ancelotti - contractually obliged to take 1 year Premier league sabbatical

McLaren - gone, by popular demand

Benitez - Apparently looking a kitty of 60m per year - gone (was he even interviewed?)

Martinez - Didn't get interviewed, Whelan turned it into Wigan PR stunt

Hughes - interview suspended until out of contract?

Rijkaard - signals intent, will he be interviewed?

Van Gaal - My personal favourite, how can he not be in shortlist, no prem experience

McLeish - Just quit SHA, 2+2=5, going to villa. Seems a nice guy (professional) but his teams play really bad footy - bad choice

Is this about right, am I up to speed?

Yeah and Moyes = AVFC fans in cloud cooko land if they think hes leaving!

The rumour the moyes will leave everton is the biggest crock of shit, I would be gobsmacked if he left them!

well one positive is that it looks like mcclaren is gonna get the forest job, mind u sky are reporting it and they havnt the best track record recently lol..

whos gonna be number 200015 to named? lol

my moneys still on hughes, all the others r technically impossible to get, other than coyle.

Why is Alex Mcleish Favourite ffs?
