Were you listening to GAry Rowett on the phone to alan brazil this morning?

He'll have to win, and have to win quick...because no doubt some of us, myself included, are not really for this appointment and it will quickly compound our fears if we don't see results quickly. That's just the way it is, if you're unsure about something and nothing materialises to make you think you were wrong it's only human nature. I hope he proves me wrong, and succeeds, because then villa are succeeding too...

I'm in the meh camp, but I don't hate the appointment

Underwealmed, but that was probably always going to be the case due to our situation

It's Robert Webb as a baby.

Rumour is that players signed a letter lambasting Gabby for leaving the seat up on the toilet and stinking the place out with Joop.

How does anyonne know Pep Guardiola would get us up? No guarantees in any case really.

He's always wanted revenge on us, this is it.

I don't really but the sentiment in this, as if to say our fans have no patience and are particularly bad. We've been served some right trash for so long, the crowd has been justified...and really no different to other fans. We've had our expectations set high whilst being served dross, bordering petulance from our players and the managers have been clueless to do anything to stop it. Ultimately the buck stops with the manager, and when you're given the most to spend in the league whilst poaching that leagues best talent the have to do better than rdm. As soon as consistent improvements start to surface the crowd will be right inside. Until then rightfully not...

That last bit just reads like someone saying "don't get upset but..." as if being somewhat apologetic for the choice. Hope not.

If we get this right, remember we have an owner that is willing to spend in January as well...it could be the biggest turnaround of the century. It needs to be someone quite special, but have no idea who...I don't think any of the names mentioned thus far.

You kind of took the words out of my mouth, it couldn't get anymore "boring"...

I guess that would be the mistake he's learning from...

Whatever could you be insinuating

Whether it's a lot or very little, certain candidates will get a bigger share of punters and that reflects in the odds.

Odds like this are moved purely on what is being lumped on, computer assisted to ensure the bookie always wins...lower the odds on popular markets to ensure the payout doesn't exceed the total takings/etc. I know this has all been said before, but most of the time this is all it is and people lump on pure speculation. Twatter rumours fuel customers and odds change / etc. Rarely is there any privy info with the bookies, sometimes punters get lucky and there is the possibility that odds are moving because punters got a lucky tip off but that is unusual.

Good riddance, Jesus the next man has to turn a corner for it...please God.

And this bomb never went off with a bang, just caused destruction.

He made me spend £180 at tk maxx...tk f'in maxx. He owes me plus interest.

Heard some other people "suggest stuff"...subtle hints if you like. Not buying it yet, don't want to feel let down.

I can't believe it's not butter

Jesus wept, when you thought it can't get any worse... new lows are hit. Only villa, not even at the races today.

Could also have been waiting to be ratified by Round coming in. Everything done through correct channels and structure, making it water tight that there is no come back on us just sacking him off?

^ What he said, with you man.

He could very quickly reprise himself, and turn it all around. It's even probably not to late to do that, the sad truth is he won't...that's what hurts most.
