    Bloody hell if he is appointed VT is rich. Everyone's bets come in and Islingtonclaret's hundred thousand quid donation to the site! Exciting!

    I dont think he should get MON level backing in his first season. One thing for sure he has not done is make big money signings. I would keep him on a AMc level budget for the first six months. Even that is a LOT of money compared to what he is used to. First season I would expect 12th playing some great football but getting spanked a few times as he makes mistakes. Loosen up the purse strings next summer or in January once he has found his feet. Thats my guess anyway. Its football it could all go very well or very badly but at least we know HOW he likes his teams to play and its an exciting way.

    Very generous that mate! Bloody hell, no kidding! Very nice.

    One thing I do know about our current board is we dont do guile. I take our and his statements at face value. I doubt we are playing mind games. They genuinely want to interview a few candidates before making an offer.

    All I am saying is. GET HIM ON THE PLANE!! 8)

    have you misread what mm said or something? why are you now asking if there's any chance at all of us getting him? course there is, the bloke travelled to birmingham to speak to us ffs Yeah but the deal seems to be off now. Dont say that man. Lets cling to something potentially great for a while longer.

    Well if the other two are as exciting I am cool with it. If the other two are Premier league plodders then I am far less jazzed. Happily it looks like the publicity has ruined things for OGS at home so he really will be motivated to join us. I just hope Randy closes the deal. That said he he has Rodgers & AVB lined up as his other two then yeah, thats pretty exciting.

    Well it was nice to be associated with something exciting for a day. No back to the same old shit. We dont get nice things

    Disappointment...growing.

    This is great, thank you! "Rbnett: Molde's spokesman has taken the day off."
  11. ciggiesnbeer
    Indeed. Its amazing how excited and unified fans are (or as unified as we get). I know a lot of it is because we are on the rebound but there is something different about this one versus the usual suspects we have been talking about. Hope the deal doesnt fall through.
  12. ciggiesnbeer
    Hope so. Sure would be nice to have Villa at the center of something exciting for a change.
  13. ciggiesnbeer
    Not sure I can take being turned down after all this excitement. Of course I said I couldnt take it if McLeish was appointed. I was right
  14. ciggiesnbeer
    Exciting stuff! He wouldnt be coming unless it was a done deal right? I am trying to remember how it went down last year (shudder) pretty much Lerner just spoke to McLeish if memory serves? Lets hope he stays true to form and this is locked down.
  15. ciggiesnbeer
    Gonna be gutted when all this ends up with nothing and Neil Warnock is unveiled as our next manager.
  16. ciggiesnbeer
    Lambert could of jumped at the chance to manage us, he didnt, same as Martinez. Screw em.
  17. ciggiesnbeer
    Would be bloody awesome. Big gamble, exciting young manager. Just what we need. Hope it happens.
  18. ciggiesnbeer
    Only one downside. How the **** do you chant his name? HOLGNNSSOLDJERS claret and blue army? It will be the world most mumbled chant
  19. ciggiesnbeer
    This is unexpected and good news. I think this is happening. Excellent.
  20. ciggiesnbeer
    Whelan can't do a deal with anyone, he really should concentrate on getting a new manager in, Martinez' contract runs out at the end of June, he doesn't have a manager to be trading, why the hell should anyone talk to him to ask permission, there is certainly no need to. I thought he signed an extension last summer? Or was that just for a year?
  21. ciggiesnbeer
    Ok interesting post with some good juicy rumour mongering. But then 5 mins later... Which is it. He is guaranteed to be manager on monday or he hasnt been approached yet?
  22. ciggiesnbeer
    Its great isnt it? We all get our hopes up and start dreaming again. Fun times. Reality will arrive soon enough, lets enjoy our hopes for a while.
  23. ciggiesnbeer
    Rodgers would be just fine by me. My second choice behind AVB and pretty close to first. Swansea played the most attractive football I watched last season. I would be over the moon if he came here.
  24. ciggiesnbeer
    Sounded like a farewell speech to me. Anyways seems like a top bloke. He isnt my first pick for Villa. Best of luck to you at Norwich with or without Lambert!
  25. ciggiesnbeer
    I dont want "realistic" targets. I want the best for our club. No relegated managers please. Managers who have proven themselves to play exciting and modern football. Thats AVB & Rodgers.
