Motherwell relegated.

Finishing Rangers outside the top two in Scotland.

Noses relegated twice.

What the **** is going on?

Or finishing 2nd with Motherwell

Beating MON's Celtic to the title twice

Getting Scotland into the top 30 rankings (including a famous win in France)

Winning Birmingham's first trophy since the 1960's!!

thats better....apart from the last one, that was a sad day for world football

Motherwell relegated.

Finishing Rangers outside the top two in Scotland.

Noses relegated twice.

What the **** is going on?

did anybody tell Randy this?

Game over. No more pride or passion let alone ambition from our board.

Well done sir randy

so its been announced then? yes?

its ok to protest against Mcleish - no worries knock yourselves out guys but do it properly and calmly.....

The main point though is don't slag off the board until its definate 100% certain....

If and it's a massive IF it isn't Mcleish the board slaggers and the rubbish graffiti artistes will look very very very silly... I know this has probably been already said and ignored but......

OMG, its getting comical

'>bcfc statement

I can't believe I've been on a bluenose website

I'm dizzy from all the speculation....speculation created by press, made up stuff on here, ITK people (are they ITK?) I registered on this board to see what was occuring, and to begin with it seemed reasonable debate now were into the realms of panic....ridiculous slagging..whitch hunting, sacrificing goats...giving RL a slagging when he's done right by us (IMO) and some casual racsism (which is never a good thing).....we have no idea and we go round and round and round in circles winding ourselves up....to the point we're trying to work out whose on what plane and where that plane is going

Up the Villa no matter whose in charge...if their good we'll love them and they'll stay and if their rubbish they'll be sacked and we'll hate them.

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?

Sounds about right. Rijkaard would be lovely. Mcleish? Would be good if he came, got us in the CL. And won it. Rub their blue noses in it. Ron Saunders went the other way and got them relegated

I should add this friend is ITK and tells me that Villa are going to appoint a new manager in next few days and that some of us will be happy and some of us won't

The whole thing appears very smoke and mirrors, perhaps I'm being naive or blindly optimistic but it seems like a very clever plan for some kind of bigger picture.

Think about it, how many people will be gobsmacked when we do appoint someone good media and fans of all kinds up and down the country. They might be laughing now but...

smoke and mirror rubbish..its just media..end of.

Villa have said 3 things.

1. were getting a manager

2. be patient

3 its not martinez

thats it. all the rest is us, media and Mystery Man...hahah whoever he is...

Lerner is the best chairman we ever had....O Neill was great until it turned sour...Houliier was a woory but was moving in the right direction. Lets not slag anybody off until we know who it is and then we can all have our say. Me I'd love Rijkaard and have said that from the start...will it be him...according to Mysterman No its Moyes...but for all we know it could be Kenny Dalglish or Barry Fry

As you were quoting my post I'll assume your referring to me slagging off the chairman? Not true. My post was intended positively.

And the media hype is largely created by the way Villa go about things...hence my smoke and mirrors theory.

Not you but everyone else on here who slag of RL....he's put his money on the table time and time again....its just all the people on here believing everypost and every twitter feed. Smoke and mirrors is just paper talk..

Barry fry and Ron Atkinson....yes..we know we want it

Maradona....??

i think a lot of us villa fans are hoping for a reincarnation of sir bobby, ron saunders, bill shankly and jock stein! it just isnt going to happen! unless the general has been working on some secret military regeneration activities! i will be happy with moyes or hughes!

good shout but we can all dream a little

Take with a massive fistful of salt but...

**** brilliant!

I'm not sure I can read anymore of the rumours.....my ring is twitching like a rabbits nose.

Mentioning the likes of Scholari, Van Gaal, Rijkaard, benitez gets me excited, full of hope, promise and something good to look forward to but I know is doubtful

Mentioning the likes of Hughes, coyle, moyes, martinez creates instant boredom even though its most likely

Mentioning Steve McClown fills me with fear, self loathing and suicidal tendancies....

I just can't take anymore....I am going to shut my eyes til Friday and then I'll either be happy or wanting to remove myself from this planet...I am an aetheist but just in case. If there is a God please please please don't let it be Mclaren

I know someone who knows somebody else that is quite friendly with a person who once walked past Villa park, and they told there best friends wife that another person they knew had seen Big Phil Scolari in Brazil and he said that he didn't want the Villa job

Are you just saying that to put everyone off the scent though

I am off to the bookies to but 365k on Scolari right now

If I were you I would believe me and stake 366k on it.

Rijkaard would be my choice, followed by Benetez who has won a lot and wasn't given a fair chance at Inter....tough act to follow, trouble is benetez seems to want money to buy BIG players....

How is that a bad thing? If Benitez gets the job it will be on the proviso that he is given funds to by BIG players, which will only benefit us.

I don't think Randy will make promises and then back out of them once he's got his man.

Thats the point I'd welcome Benitez but he'll want Money. If history can be repeated Benitez won the CL with Houlliers team... but do we have the money? Selling Ashley will bring in some and we have albrighton and Delph who are quality replacements for him
