ireland came out himself and said mon wanted him and that he was an o'neill signing

General, Would it perhaps be something that the club would consider to get a "football man" on the board somehow? Someone with a bit of experience on the football side of business who would advise and direct as necessary, without being particularly intrusive to the board itself but while being something more than just an external consultant or advisor?

youre dead right, we shouldve let him keep signing players like sidwell and beye and putting them on contracts worth more than £45k a week despite not playing them another few years of that and we'd undoubtedly have reached the promised land of administration

That depends on how much compo they want. I reckon Houlliers is massive, due to being under contract for 3 years. What Martin Oneils????? Basicly, thats around 10 million of the Ashley money, going on managers rather than a replacement. they cant want that much, given that he's only got 2 1/2 weeks left on his contract like as for ged, i wouldnt imagine we paid up his entire contract, and anything we would have paid i assume we could claim right back on the clubs insurance since it was a health related parting mons cant have been more than a years wage either, since that's the duration of his contract at any point

if its hughes, which i still reckon it is, then surely given our good relationship with fulham we could just get on the blower to them and ask if we can talk to him with their blessing before july 1st i couldnt see it being an issue, given all the shite theyre reading out this failed manager hunt in the media, and they might even let him join us before then without any compo due

who says we are entertaining him?

the club never said a word about hughes. we contacted fulham, who then said that we had talked to them

no he hasnt he was given it from his father, and im pretty sure the browns fans absolutely detest him and reckon he's ruining every chance theyve ever had of being anything thats got nothing to do with villa tho

im sure we just contacted them to say we werent interested, like we did with fulham after hughes walked

I smell bullshit This MM strikes me as an attention seeker and far from ITK do some research then people like you are the reason he doesnt post here any more

just coz the media says we're after BB doesnt mean we are relax

radio city in liverpool are apparently claiming that he has resigned ive no idea if thats true or not

this shite about not hiring managers who have left jobs is an embarrassment to the club. if he's the right man i don't care if he shat in the top drawer of his old boss' desk and wiped his arse in his curtains

let's get big ron back

i wish people would stop taking odds as being anything more than an indication of where punters money is going

general, just wondering where to send my application for the manager's job. at the rate we're ruling out potential gaffers it'll be open to the public soon so i want to get a head start on the other applicants. cheers

if its moyes im going to refer to him as hughes for the duration of his stay at villa

if hughes does win this contest, he wont be announced till 1st july not necessarily we've had all the media leaked reports now that we've looked plenty of other places, so im sure a phone call to al fayed to ask if we could have a chat with sparky would get the green light. the clubs have a great relationship and im sure the fact that MAF has been reading about all the managers we've allegedly been after will convince him that hughes leaving had absolutely nothing to do with us

has hughes been announced yet then?

i think they missed a couple of trophies in those 30 years

im fairly sure it will be hughes why would we have such a thing against him exactly?

still think its hughes but i woke up with the oddest feeling that it might be harry redknapp - these h rumours have only reinforced that

do people still believe that it wont be hughes? still seems nailed on to me

any remotely reliable source that we've ACTUALLY spoken to benitez? or anyone?

bahahahaha have we all read this? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/13704421.stm
