No one knows **** all. Not mysteryman, not gaztonvilla, not villa_insider not the thetrees. No body knows anything about anything do to woth the manager, possible players etc. Its just pure guess work. Only people who know who the next manager will be is randy, faulkener or krulak and none of those people are stupid or unproffesional enough to disclose a business' affairs to any tom dick or harry. Drives me mental how people hang on the every word of these so called ITK's when they know no more than me or any other villa fan.

All part of the New Villa, get used to it

Before all this internet malarky the first we heard of a signing or sacking etc was in the stop press of the Mail, on BRMB or Central news....agh the good old days!.

At least we didn`t waste half our life posting on internet sites moaning and groaning about this or that signing, potential signing or unrealistic rumours.... hang on what am I doing here !!!!!!!

Erm, if we were conducting talks with Moyes, do you honestly believe they'd be held in a hotel/bistro in Liverpool ?

More like a garden shed in Droitwich

You know Liverpool well then do you?

Said Bistro has a private dining area that can be hired for meetings.

What restaurant is it?

60 Hope Street - although I now have reason to believe it may have been 40 Hope Street (The Boutique Hotel)

Regarding Moyes - My wife works in the city (Liverpool) and was told by two different people today (one a red, the other a blue) that Randy Lerner met with Moyes yesterday in a Liverpool hotel/Bistro.

Furthermore I was told by a trusted friend that Dunne and some of the squad are talking up Moyes as their preferred choice of replacement manager. Dunne still has good friends (in the media) up here on Merseyside and was speaking about this following our victory over Everton.

Could all be bollocks of course, however I have no reason to believe these people are either being mischievous or malicious.

Finally some bookies on Merseyside have suspended betting on Moyes coming to B6 . Only time will tell.

Mike England!

Stephen Ireland!

Jason Scotland!

er.... The Outlaw Josey Wales!

Paul Walsh :shock:

We could finally send each other Champagne bottle pics!

Bollocks to champagne JV I`ll be looking for a giant spliff 8)

From another source and I think someone else mentioned it hope it's right and I know they will let him go so here goes .

Heskey to Sunderland 1.5 mill

If thats true MM I could kiss you (in a non gay sort of way).

All those sitting around me in the lower north will be extremely happy as they won`t have to hear my moaning and whinging when that useless **** comes on after 60 mins.

Where`s Peter Withe these days?

Well written as ever Peter. I enjoyed the "away Villa" far more than the version we got to see at home.. Towards the end of last season home games were becoming a "chore". Hopefuly, whoever comes in can create a fortress at home where sides fear visiting.

Recent photos and inteviews with MON showed a body language of a person who was not at ease with his lot.

Hopefully it is not related to his or his wife`s (Geraldine?) health.

I would like to wish him well but I am disappointed in the timing of his decision - perhaps we will get his side of the story when his book is reprised or if he decides to spill the beans to Gary on MOTD.

Personally I wouldn`t be too surprised to see him back at Celtic

I just wouldn't sell him full stop. We could really do with him in the squad.

I totally agree Maz ..when motivated and given a specific job to do - i.e man to man marking - he is top notch. Not exactly creative but a great ball winner with the proverbial " good engine". All he should do is win the tackles and make the short pass to the creative midfielder - whoever that turns out to be.

What a superb piece of writing... For those who take a simplistic view of all matters Claret and Blue (myself included) this clearly highlights our predicament and ably demonstrates why we cant just rush out and buy a new striker for £30m.

I agree, it deserves a wider audience

Already been allowed into Villa Park - I was there in 1966, Uwe Seller played for West Germany against Argentina I recall.

:-) :-)

I think you have to be of a certain age to appreciate that one - a chuckle maker

Regretably I am ! :oops:

Lets face it he couldn`t get any worse.

Is he any relation of Tony Grealish (ex Baggies and Brighton?)

Who would I be happy with? ........anyone other than my missus I guess (Only joking darling!!)

I know who I would be happier without ....Played in the World Cup for England, falls over a lot, doesn`t score, offers nothing for us(home or way) and his surname rhymes with Pesky

I think we'll see lots of outs but not so many ins.

We don't really need many ins tbh.

A striker, a midfielder, a rightback. If Milner goes then a top-notch replacement.

I can see us relying on Delfouneso, Clark, Albrighton a lot more this season, and rightly so!

You win nothing with kids you know

to be honest lads i think it should go ahead, i mean im not far from blackburn now and its raining, so unless it gets considerably colder tomorrow i think it should be fine

Funnily enough its raining here too !!!

Are you going tomorrow?

I am meeting up with fellow Villan in Preston and going from there.

71, 75, 77, 94 & 96 League Cups, 1982 European Cup, 2000, FA Cup - hopefully 2010 League Cup and FA Cup double

same for me. Plus the European Super Cup 1982 (or was it 83)

Yes I'm an old git.

But not as old as me !!!!

He is MON`s Cascarino -

Great report Bicks - I hope you weren`t in full view of SG`s CCTV cameras as I can just imagine the Formby Times Headlines:

"Serial slasher attacks innocent Stevie`s grand Formby Mansion - Police seek unkept old man with inadequate todger !!!"

Cheers - UTV

PS should have gone the Freshie for a decent pint !!!!

Me, on the bright side, they look crap too

Fortunately the travel is a short hop for me

Same distance for me as you know Bicks, however I am currently out of work so £38 is a bit steep for me, let alone a ticket for VCTM jnr. Give em a shout for me lad !

race to the pub from formby then lads

Might nip around to the cricket club or the Freshfield to watch it - if its on TV.

you at the cricket club a lot? i sometimes go there to watch non villa games with my mates

I was there just this sunday watching the cricket against Maghull? - Blose game was on whilst I was there.

The Grapes has just been reopened after a refit so I might give that a whirl one week.

Do you go to any home games?

Me, on the bright side, they look crap too
