He'll also bring Watson with him, he's taken him to every club job he's had.

I just don't see it to be honest, itll be a legal minefield to appoint him, and that could take 12 months to resolve as it appears his resignation is in dispute from SHA. Nope nothing to see here!!

I like ancelotti, and i think as a coaching team with wilkins they could do great things for Villa. However, there are two concerns i have. What price will it cost us to get Ancelotti? If it's a large figure, will it impact negativly on the transfer budget? Also he (Ancelotti) is a great coach, what's he going to be like in the transfer market. He's had no control in buying players in his previous roles, would we need someone operating above him in a DOF role to assist in this.

The only thing that concerns me about Ancelotti is that he didn't really make any signings for Chelsea they were all made by Frank Arnesen. How would he get on making signings like he would at Villa.

I was just thinking that, 5 minutes of utter drivel!

Not sure about Moyes yet, certainly not Hughes, I think if i had a choice and you could get him I'd take Deschamps, if not then Ancelotti with wilkins, I think they could actually prove to be a great Villa Management team supported by K Mac and Gordon Cowans

Some bloke called Dennis rang up. Kept saying Lerner as if it was spelt like Learner. Said Lerner is destroying the club and hasn't done anything for us. The host went on to say he's spent over 100m on transfers and club development and the guy refused to believe it. He then said we're just selling all the time and Randy is putting no money in. Then when asked who he wanted as manager he said Gary McAlister who apparently saved our season That's got to be a bluenose!!!

That's you and Martin O'Neill, a small fan club ;-) I don't believe this, I've been away working and come back to find that I've been compared to MON by someone who supports the Browns!!! My word how times have changed! C'mon the Bills I reckon if you win a game this year that will be a good start, I think we will be selecting first next year!

Bills

This is by no means official, however I have a friend who owns a sports shop and he has informed me that he has already had to place his order in for the new Villa home kit which is pencilled to arrive in July!! Hope this helps.

I'm suprised that we haven't been linked to Barton. I would of thought he'd be a MON type of player.... Hard working, battler who has a little flair.

Hi General, May i take this opportunity to echo the other posters comments on how nice it is to have someone from the club be in open dialogue with the supporters. I have read with a keen interest of the boards plans for the club, ground, training facilites and applaud your approach. I like many supporters, am an ex season ticket holder, whom for one reason or another has let it lapse and have not regularily attended the club for some time. I'll admit mine was through frustration at the previous incumbants regime, whilst also being partly financial due to saving for a wedding (8th Dec). However I am pleased to say that given the new boards willingness to listen to the fans, the progress that has been made thus far and some serious scrapping together of funds, I will once again be making the pilgrimage up to VP for the Watford game. However this time I will be bringing my wife to be with me (for her fist Villa experience). I look forward to reading more from you on the plans for the clubs future, and am safe in the knowledge that the fans will return to club, I have and am looking forward to again sitting in the Trinity Road. Happy New Year all as well

I thought he was in the states watching the Browns Pre-season game??

This Fisher chap obviously likes the sound of his own voice. because it is plainly obvious to all concerned that neither does he have the intelligence to realise what is in Villa's best interest, nor does he have any interest in pursuing what is in Villa's best interest. Quite frankly Mr Fischer you are a self important , pontificating sicophant hell bent on your own agenda, and in love with your own voice.

She looked like a bluenose anyway!!
