I honestly don't think he will mind staying either.

I agree, think on how long he stayed with the smoggies when they were seriously shite with no complaints

Only got as far as these quotes in the article on Newsnow and thought I just had to shre them.

The delusion's started already

Hughton added: "I am absolutely delighted. To be joining a club of the stature of Birmingham City, with the history it has, is a pleasure. I'm really looking forward to getting to work.

"For as long as I have been in football the name Birmingham City has been right up there and it is what I regard as a real football club

It was barely used together to be fair. It was okay vs Newcastle but wasn't that the only game they started together??

I think Gabby may play slightly off Bent in a flexible 4-4-2. So that if needed it becomes a 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 depending on what's required.

Oops sorry.. I forgot I'm only here to make the sarnies.. Silly me!!

NO NO NO NO NO N O

Ypu've got to do the washing up after as well

Actually, Downing has only denied that he stood in the bar with a Liverpool scarf. He hasn't denied he was in the bar with Andy Carroll. He needs now to tell us what he actually was holding and why he was so gullible as to pose for a picture whose publication wouldn't be under his control.

Sorry but thats rubbish, Downing really needs to explain nothing, he's a rich bloke on holiday who go asked to pose for a photo by some girl. That's it, that simple.

Which then got broadcast around the world in a form that made it look as if he was provoking the fans who helped make him a rich bloke by celebrating the club he is rumoured to want to go to.

If he doesn't need to explain anything, why did he issue any sort of denial?

My point was, if he's going to issue a denial, it needs to be one that makes full sense and isn't obviously carefully worded spin.

He needed to issue a denial because people are making a huge deal out of nothing, I would imagine his denial came at the behest of the club, rather than guilt as you seem to imply

Bang on Bicks.

The Club issued a denial not SD.

The clubs "Head of PR" or some such phoned SD when this all blew up and asked the question (I believe Matt Kendrick's got actual quotes from the guy at Villa)

Lets get a life people

While I agree with you to some extent Trent, I always had the impression he was a decent bloke and as such I wouldn't wish down the road on him

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Bloody Hell Mike,

I thought you'd finally cracked there

saw this on Twitter, answers everything

"That picture is obviously a fake. Forget the extra finger. It's Andy Carroll in a bar next to a woman and she's not got blacked eyes"

.

It also seems the majority of Liverpool fans think he is rubbish and they can do better than him

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Randy/Paul appoints McLeish at 6pm and this thread gets locked....How long before the next manager thread will open....3 months? 6 months....Later today?

I'm surprised it's not already open to be honest.

I've got it ready and waiting in another tab, as soon as the announcement is made I'll post it.

:notworthy:

Sick thing is that if he does get made manager, then it is very likely we actually did tap him up - embarrassing!

A 'tapping up' would be a complete about turn in the conduct and policy of the ownership of Aston Villa. Simply, it didn't happen.

McLeish has undergone huge interference from, and suffered several bouts of irrational behaviour, howvever well meaning, from the board at Blues since they took over. They have signed players without his knowledge and, as we and McLeish saw on Sunday morning, they have put his better players up for sale, again without his knowledge.

If AM were to look around there are/were some interesting jobs out there, the biggest of which is Aston Villa, and he would consider that a buoyant vacancy market would be the best time to leave. The news from the Roger Johnson camp was merely the straw that broke the camel's back.

As I have stated before, the general media and protest furore over any potential appointment has played right into the hands of the Blues board, as no one is pointing the finger at the true reasons for AM's resignation, their actions.

Generally spot on sir, except the backtracking now going on at the Sty and statements from the LMA now being reported suggests that the tide is turning on that front

Game over. No more pride or passion let alone ambition from our board.

Well done sir randy

Confirmed, on the pitch with the shirt?

What happened with those 'tweets' yesterday taken from the Everton forum speculating that we had offered Moyes a 2 yr contract but he wanted 3 years??

Sytill any talk of that?

Yep we've bin tweeting trying to see what we can find out from other sources.

Villa Park is in lockdown.

guys client contact at EFC has gone quiet & backtracked. Will not talk about it. Just says Moyes is back off hols on Saturday apparently.

I personally think Kenwright won't sell cos EFC are absolutely skint and will find it hard to replace DM....... so RL's looking at Plan B

According to today's Mirror(yes I know) EFC can't even scrape together a downpayment to buy N'zogbia. Natives are worried!

Wasn't it the entirely trustworthy and very much ITK Oliver Holt who tweeted Moyes to Villa on a 2 year deal?

double post

Chaz, even your username is wrong.

Villain not Villan!

Sorry Wiggy but your wrong!!

Villain = criminal / baddie

Villan = follower of the worlds greatest football team.

My guess is you're under 40 years of age.

Correct, I was going to post something like this too.

I stand corrected, as you were people.

:oops:

So this makes me a bad person,

I must be as I'm Scottish but thankfully NOT GINGER

one more thing. think when people try to bring you down it´s because of jealousy and and not doing ting the way they like to dictate. so basically all the media can f... off!!!!!!!!!!! we will be winning things again. why , because we are great . oh and whats are motto ? quite a few i feel don´t believe in it...

the Motto is 'Be Prepared', which is quite IRONIC after these last 12 months.....

No it's not. We're not the boy scouts.

so what is it then you smart arse prick

God I just love true and loyal fans who've never looked at the badge FFS

Ignore him Gaz

On a similar note, is it true some complete "clearings in the woods" have grafftied Bodymoor.

To think we used to say McLeish managed the inbred morons, maybe he will again

"Waa Waa Waa. The club need to issue a statement NOW and tell us what's going on. We're sick of getting our information from TalkSport."

"Waa Waa Waa. The statement from the club last night has made us all angry. They should either shut up or tell us what we want to hear."

.

X 2 at least

**** me what's going on ? Nearly a whole page of McLeish loving!! I feel sick at the thought of this nob jockey even being named in the same breath of our club...

People are at different stages from:

1-Denial

2-Anger

3-Bargaining

4-Depression

5-Acceptance

Some in the acceptance category are trying to find good things about McLeish. Many are still in denial and anger.

My anger has passed. I am now sacrificing a goat as an offering to the Lord almighty to stop this travesty

If you're doing it curried with rice and peas --- I'm In

Don't shoot the messenger who asked a legitimate question and GK reponded how he did.

Not the messenger, whoever did the copy and paste needs shooting

Big John, the only fact in what you've said here is that Martinez turned down the chance to talk to us about the job.

The rest is speculation and you've chosen to frame it in a way that fits your view.

You don't think we look shambolic in the press and you don't think we're interested in Mcleish?

Forget McLeish, that will sort itself as the others have.

As for the press, do you really give a shit about how we appear in the gutter press we have in this country who print total bollocks and call it "insider info"

Get real

As regards the claimed "Generals Post on FB"

If it was a private message leaked by Jon fear 2 things

1) Shame on Him

2) Why does it call him Richard

I think we need to all calm the F*** down

Sorry, don't know how to do links but if you go to the new manager thread on vitalvilla between pages 46-50 you'll see how it panned out for real. Richard is the name of a poster on the site who is also a facebook friend on the "Chuck Krulak" fb page. If you check out his friends list, there is indeed a richard with a surname similar to the posters user name.

Whether you choose to believe it or not is up to you. If it's a fake I doff my hat to whoever wrote it cos it's a bloody good'un.

If your info is correct then fine, I have no problem with the message being real or not and if Jon Fear had no involvement then my appologies to him.

That doesn't change the fact that

Somebody gets a "PRIVATE MESSAGE" from The General and decides to be Billy big bollox and post it for the world to see

For me that is very very poor form regardless of circumstances

Sir,

If as is alleged, PMs from you to people are being posted willy nilly on websites I'd completely understand you leaving these forums for good.

I'd hope you don't but fully support your action (or lack of it) if you did

Lerner is known to be looking for new investors. How secure does that make the club in the short and the medium term?

Source please or is this just conjecture or belief on your part

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezus

I came on here this morning to update myself and have read pages and pages of utter shite.

Look at the facts as known.

McLeish resigns from "Them"

Pannu says he sent an e-mail to us saying "steer clear, he's under contract", he doesn't say why he sent it or offer a copy as eveidence.

Pannu says our legal people replied saying "he's a free agent, we'll talk to him if we want to"

Pannu says "I can make 1 and 1 make 2" I'll get an injunction stopping this and I want £5m compo

Times journo tweets "I've seen the e-mail" then miraculously deletes the tweet

cue AV world going mad

Can we not see the 1 consistent factor in this

"Pannu says"

And of course we all know he's honourable and truthful - don't we?

FFS

Would some of you please let the bait hit the water and float for a few seconds
