No confirmation on OS site so that is maybe why I think they have put the gallery up as preperation for tomorrow's annoncement... thinking that people wouldn't stumble accross it (as you can only get to it from selecting it from the dropdown).

Pleased about this... good first signing (5 years is a bit of a worry but oh well). Fingers crossed more to follow very soon!! Think he could help the young keepers progress... if they ain't going to improve under BF and SG then they ain't going to make it at all!!!!

Probably just a front so the Everton fans will see the Zog signing like they would if they signed Messi.

Got to be crap... there is no way we would say he ain't for sale unless it's silly money and then accept an £18.5m bid...

I don't think he will go, it's all just paper talk about Liverpool being on the verge of signing him. The board know that selling him in the same window as AY would be suicide even if they offer silly money. If he hands in a transfer requests then it's up to RL to rip it up and tell him to honnor the contact he signed and tell him to show some **** gratitude & respect to a club that took him in for a LOT of money when he was seriously injured and helped turn him into an England star.

I saw no evidence of it working last season either when we did play 4-4-2.. we'll see though I guess. Personally I thought when they did play together (which was very, very briefly) I saw potential that it would work with time. Anyway - on topic. Really cannot see Downing being let go whether he wants to go or not. No way will Randy let Young & DJ go in the same summer unless we received an astronomical figure in return. Didn't MM say that AM would not sell DJ unless it was silly money of like £50m? Sounds he will deffo be staying... not even Man City would pay that much!!

What a cock...

MK on twitter said the compo is BS...

Melberg will become the symbol of our hope. F5 - refreshes screen - Mellberg - Wahoo!!!! I will never get bord of seeing Mellbergs face as that means no statement... If i was the site tech i'd photoshop his beard off and keep changing the photo... Really confuse us! Lmfao!

I'm not a happy bunny... None of this makes sense at all. My head hurts and (if AM is appointed) my heart will be broken. I will allways support Villa and it will never wain but this is pushing me to my limit. I'm holding on to the hope that this ain't happening and RL is just hearing him out. RL is a businessman and cannot afford a fan revolt so I still believe he has someone up his sleave. I hope.

FFS... General, why couldn't you just keep quiet?

FFS... AM better not be anywhere near Corsica... Or the Med for that matter.

i have unfortunately, we should have been all over him like flies round shit when GH had his health problems and ancelotti was sacked. but while there are still top quality managers floating around i refuse to stoop to the low levels of mark hughes the lowest standard we should be setting ourselves is moyes, a decent manager who has shown he can produce results on a yearly basis and keep a club the same level historically as us, in the top 7. he would have the added bonus of having a financially supportive owner who may be able to match moyes ambitions which are publically stated as being higher than 7th. moyes in my view would be the worst i would be happy with. so all this talk of unproven or average managers who havent proved anything from fans is quite eye opening. it seems expecations for our club have hit an all time low ? we have lots of positives which should have top managers at least having a double take over and with the persuasive tones coming from randy, i would hope he could win over someone of a decent calibre who will promoted the club in a positive light and bring back the success we all need. its an ideal chance to get a top manager, so why settle for meh? This...

Dunno why people would put money on him becoming our next manager. He aint that good and manages SHA ffs. There would be hell to pay from the fans if he is appointed.

Or you know im just putting it out there but doesnt he live in the us? Jurgen Klinsman would be a good shout... Totaly left field... But no PL experience... Although if Moyes is a no go then I think RL would drop tnis stance for a great European manager like Kinsman... Especially as he played in the PL... One problem... Would he have a Spurs love in when we play them at WHL? Lol!

So you would take Moyes who aint won bugger all over Rijkaard who has won a shed load? I'd deffo take Moyes but not over Rijkaard/Van Gal etc... But I find that crazy... But still respect your opinion

I think Moyes just has the edge over Hughes... Only for the fact he got Everton into the top 4 (it was a bit easier at the time than it is now) but both aint won fudge all and have no player pull outside of the uk. I will back whoever is appointed but think we can get winners... It would mean not having PL experience but worth the gamble IMO.

Naa, all gone quiet from MM, he said he ain't posting until something more to say as he is getting a lot of abuse on twitter. There is an Everton fan posting shit about Villa... Saying Moyes won't come to us as we are crap and our support is shit. Quite funny tbh... What a cock.

That would point to Moyes... But im not sure about him. I don't think he can take us to the CL. Maybe a top 7-6 but that's about it. Don't think he has the player pull or winning mentality. I would be behind him 100% don't get me wrong but i'm stll hoping for better... Van Gal/Rijkaard... Might just be a pipe dream but got to at least try.

Bingo... Would be awesome!

Yes please... Think it should be between... Raneri Van Gal Rijkaard Not necessarily in that order.

MM on twitter... "Carlo is a no go and never was. Rijkaard likes jets". Seem's he was the reason RL's jet was in Corsica.

From what we all can tell there are no ITK's just wild guessing. There are a few 'whispers' comming from twitter that something 'gobsmacking' is to be announced soon. But take that with a pinch of salt as everything has turned out to be wide off the mark (as far as we can tell). Sooooooooooo confused!

Betting is suspended overnight Lmfao... And again! Do you thunk the mods can out a sticky out for this?

Happy Birthday Carlo... How about the managers job at AVFC for a present?
