Enjoy the beautiful sunny weekend folks,stop stressing about who the Board pick as it is out of our hands.

It will be later next week before we hear anything if at all.

If they then pick one from Hoddle(54) not young & vibrant,Grayson dull as dish water or any other crass Manager then Villa Talk can go into meltdown.

Keep the faith & UTV.

Didn't MON sell Cahill to bring in Zat Knight?

Yes he did unfortunately

Knight joined in Aug 2007

Cahill left in Jan 2008

Knight took his place and Cahill was then sold due to lack of 1st team opportunites - due to Knight

Didn't MON sell Cahill to bring in Zat Knight?

Yes he did unfortunately

I can see Lerner making 20m available

Plus sales of collins Warnock Dunne etc would give rafa a decent budget

Very little over £20 million then!

Warnock was £8 million from Blackburn!

Benitez does not fit the bill as a young vibrant & hungry Manager !

Shearer hates the Villa, Gary Neville is a no atm he has just taken England coaching job

I think that folk need to settle down after the brief OGS episode,he was one of a number of people who have been spoken to by the Board.

Any new job has to go through the proceedures,applicants,interviews etc,this is a massive appointment after the last two failures & RL & PF will want to get it right this time. Mc Leish only left his post 9 days ago and the Board have been and still are working towards appointing the right Manager,give them the time to come to the correct choice it is not a case of simply handing out a position as some Managers are likely to be in employment who want the job.

OGS will do things the right & proper way,don't panic if Villa offer him the job he will take it!

It purely press speculation about Lambert, there is no evidence from either club to suggest Villa are interested in him.

This could go on for weeks...

No it won't but "Have a little patience" as the song goes 8)

Molde are happy for him to continue if he is not offered the job & he is happy to do so, It doesn't mean he does not want the Villa job,he clearly does imo.

What OGS is saying is that it is business as usual, For Now! He does not have an offer to consider,Yet!! Watch this space

I don't believe the Martinez story, Just the press BS !

You might be right pieface,it seems like the Scousers are not happy with the idea of him getting the job anyway,I reckon Capello might get that job.

I think that Whelan would have let the World know by now if he had spoken to us.

Is OGS your choice trees?

Norwich boss Paul Lambert opens the door to Aston Villa

Sorry, but don't pin your hopes on that article.

Its a joke and even I would say, damn right old lies.

Wiz, There is no evidence that Villa have actually approached or even want Lambert,it is only the obvious press speculation,the Villa Board are going about their business saying nothing to the media.

I think you are right Villa Li0n

Whoever gets the job has so much work to do strengthening & sorting out the first team squad which as we all know is poor.

Any appointment will be a risk as such as this time we appear to be going down the young Manager route which I fully support.

It appears however that it is a straight choice between OGS & Lambert unless Di Matteo enters the running which seems less likely now.

Whovever gets it lets all get behind them and support them all the way as the last 2 seasons have been forgetable to say the least.

UTV

I am confident that OGS will be our new Manager

AVB has just missed out on the Roma job which it was thought that he was nailed on to get!

I don't think that Randy is a man who likes to waste his time tbh,OGS appointment must be serious/close.

I dont think that the deal is off,however unlike our 1st team the Board have to have plan B

Hopefully Lambert is still in the frame but OGS or him would be good imo
