I think its Lambert too. Would take either manager. I just think Lambert has a bit more about him.

I would take Martinez but he needs to build a good scouting network

Looks like it's Martinez then

Yeah MM and Gazton are ITK as you can get with Villa. The trouble is AVFC are very guarded and really only RL and PF know what is going on. Unless they purposefully leak info. We only found about OGS because of the plane. MM and Glazton may get ITK on good faith but it may not come to fruition or things may change last minute. Doesnt mean that they have relayed misleading information.

Cue a story about how we need more british managers in the game and there are too many foreign managers. People like Bruce, Curbishley, McLeish, McCarthy

I am ITK about who is ITK...

Who is that? Link?

What are OGS odds currently?

Out: Warnock Collins Delfounseo Delph Hutton Wage = £140k per week In: J Olsson - £30k LB - £30k Diame - £40k Moses - £30k Clyne - £20k Striker - £30k Wages - £180k

Yup BBC reporting it. Lambert or Martinez to Villa - would be happy with either.

On the flip side I would hope we would get rid of 2 out of Collins, Dunne, Warnock

I doubt Makoun is on £50k a week. Also do we really pay all of Irelands wages, I am sure Gazton said something about City still paying some of it. Whats the wage to turnover target? We still need at least another 5 players to be comptetive next year. At about £30k pw each that would be £7.8m on top of that not including NI, Medical insurance and bonus.

I doubt Gazton has heard anything otherwise he would have posted.

I believe Gazton has some good connections at the club. Not just SI.

I reckon Lambert is still in contention.

Terrible appointment if true. Would show terrible ambition and lack of thought

Well being an Asian from Balsall Heath orginally and now of Leamington and being brought up in a Villa family I hope I can give some insight. I agree with Chindie to an extent. It is a problem with football. With regards to Asian community I have managed to get a couple of my younger family members such as cousins to support villa. It helped when we were doing well under MON. Asian kids shouting gabbys or youngs name was great. However Asian kids especially will hardly go to football games. Many in brum live in poorer areas and their parents will not spend £100s of pounds on tickets food etc rightly so. Therefore they will watch it on tv and cheer for the best teams. Without going to a villa match it is very hard to build that love for the club. Having an Asian player would certainly help and I hope it happens soon. Plenty of talented kids out there who do nt make it for a variety of reasons not just cos they're parents won't allow it. You should know that many Asian parents these days would love their kid to make it as a footballer. Not majority I give u that but certainly more than is perceived.

link?

Who's they?

:!:

Heskey player/coach anyone?

How much does it cost to move a Fjord?

Talksport saying that we were in for Ola John. Not sure how that works with no manager

http://wigan.illarterate.co.uk/2011/06/10/its-official-roberto-martinez-will-stay-at-wigan-athletic/ He did sign a new contract

Its not about getting a new deal, its how he was treated in his last year. I think CC is a decent guy, well certainly comes across as one. He would not take a pot shot I believe without just cause. In his eyes anyways.
