    Ha ha hope this turns out to be true......will back up all the rumours

    ITK__NewsAgent ‏@IKFA__Agent

    Reading are to sign Aston Villa's Darren Bent on loan. Bent wants out after a training ground row with boss Paul Lambert. #readingfc #avfc

    lol Go Lambert - First time he gagged to press he sent him to train with the kids

    Now he's lending him to Reading...after training ground bust up

    Cripes, with the troll face in that twitter ITK profligates avatar, the vote for thick bambi for babe of the month and the "Dave Kitson returning to Sainsburys to stack shelves" breaking story you would think that it is just troll fodder but nay must be true! Cos' twitter is gospel and gospel means an absolute truth.

    Why Lambert will be a Success

    I'm loving everything about #AVFC right now. Stark contrast to last year.

    @andrewstone85 And so you should be! Paul Lambert has surprisingly high expectations for your club! #AVFC

    TheAgent007 ‏@TheAgent0071

    I am astounded by hearing Paul Lambert's aspirations for Aston Villa Football Club. He is the real package! #AVFC #Excitingtimesahead

    TheAgent007 ‏@TheAgent0071

    Also surprised to hear Lerner personally wanted Lambert last summer but was discouraged by other board members over Premier League experience. #AVFC

    TheAgent007 ‏@TheAgent0071

    I get the impression Mr Lerner will walk barefoot over glass and fire for Lambert. #AVFC

    Alan Hutton will be leaving Aston Villa Football Club shortly. #AVFC

    TheAgent007 ‏@TheAgent0071

    Alan Hutton close to signing for a new Premiership Team. #AVFC #EFC #FFC

    TheAgent007 ‏@TheAgent0071

    @JamesNursey @MirrorFootball Apparently Lambert has told Hutton - not to bother returning to the club. #AVFC #EFC #FFC

    Last chance saloon for JIIM IMO.

    I think a lot will depend on whether he wants to make a go of it here in the Premiership or whether as I suspect he has already given up and is resigned to returning to France or some other inferior league.

    Why do you suspect that my friend?

    Liverpool keep their sights on Brendan Rodgers

    Oliver Kay and Matt Dickinson

    Published 1 minute ago

    Liverpool’s search for a new manager is expected to continue until at least the end of this week as they look to hold more discussions with Roberto Martínez and intensify their interest in Brendan Rodgers.

    Martínez, the Wigan Athletic manager, remains a leading candidate for the managerial vacancy at Anfield after a first interview on Thursday, but Fenway Sports Group (FSG), Liverpool’s parent company, is determined not to be rushed in its bid to find a successor to Kenny Dalglish.

    Martínez, who is also wanted by Aston Villa, will have to pass a final interview and agree personal terms if he is to land the job, and faces serious competition from Rodgers, the Swansea City manager.

    Rodgers distanced himself from the Liverpool vacancy ten days ago, when the club indicated that he was one of many potential candidates they had identified. His commitment to Swansea is genuine, as is his belief that his long-term development might be better served by staying at the Liberty Stadium for another season. But, having learnt that he is a genuine contender for the Liverpool vacancy, he is keen to discover, if the Welsh club will allow him, what might be on offer.

    Rodgers is understood to be in New York to watch a friendly between Mexico and Wales that was played last night, but, whether in the United States or in Great Britain this week, FSG is eager to speak to him. He has been recommended by advisers, but, like Martínez, he would be eager to ascertain the precise role under discussion in what would be a new structure at Anfield.

    Louis van Gaal, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach, is a front-runner for one of the posts in the new structure, although the exact framework remains uncertain. A variety of options have been discussed and, while Van Gaal is a strong contender to be named as sporting director even before the identity of a new coach has been determined, there is much detail to finalise when John W. Henry, the club’s principal owner, travels to Britain this week. Pep Segura, who has overseen a revamp of Liverpool’s youth academy, is also expected to be given a prominent role.

    With Martínez waiting to hear whether he will be offered the Liverpool job, Villa retain a firm interest in the Wigan manager as they look to intensify their search for a replacement for Alex McLeish, who was sacked two weeks ago. Martínez rejected Villa’s advances last summer, but the Midlands club are quietly confident that he could be persuaded to consider an offer once Liverpool’s intentions have become clear and that, in any case, they might be able to offer a greater degree of control than he would have at Anfield.

    Members of the Villa hierarchy have also held discussions in recent days with Rafael Benítez, the former Liverpool manager. The conversations with Benítez have been considerably more encouraging than those when the Villa job arose last summer, but manager and club are open-minded about the idea as they continue to explore other options

    I think Villa will go back to OGS next week after their season has closed for the break. I think this whole change of heart is a charade to get Molde through to the break. It may be a bit left field but it's too quiet at B6 and the tweets are saying nothing happening before next week, so I think it will be back on.

    Let it go old chap, we are all cut up but this ain't happening.

    The Gent has awoke to this disappointing nuance to Aston Villa's managerial search. It has been rather exciting over the past week or so with the prospect of OGS, attacking fresh football and above all, positivity regarding the future. Fear not, all is not lost. Stiff upper lip and what-not, plenty more fish in the sea...... O whom I kidding I am feeling ruddy awful, sad and pessimistic right now. :cry: Maybe the appointment of Mainz 05's Thomas Tuchel could cheer this chap right well up, although he recently signed a contract extension. :(

    The Gent just prays to McGrath that the board do not PANIC (see Mcleish appointment) and hit the red Prem recycled managers button and we all witness the unveiling of (insert turgid name here, à la McCarthy/Bruce) in front of the holt, and a letter to all season ticket holders explaining their vibrance and dynamism coupled with as many public relations 'up the ass' buzz words as you can ram into a A4 page of drivel.

    God Damn it, the Gents cornflakes do not taste right!
