... well I want it. Can I be assistant? I'll have that job no problem and I'll work for free. I like the working for free offer. Can you make a good cup of tea? Actually I can, I'm a firm believer in not putting in the milk until the tea is properly brewed as not to make the water go cold before its time. I'm also obviously a believer in the tea bag being allowed some time to brew properly which seems to be overlooked by so many! If I get the call... you're my man of choice... please don't leave me with GMac.

The :!: just aren't as impressive over here.

Mysteryman has been made to look like a total tool and a mug in this whole saga so I think it's safe to ignore anything he says. I still reckon it'll be Hughes on July 1st and this is all a smoke screen. Thats why we gave him a free transfer to H&V I really don't blame him for leaving after stuff like this. You guys are ridiculous.

Instead of letting the press bash us we could respond. I mean why not tell us yesterday that we hadn't spoken to the Martinez while the media we're claiming he'd spoke to us and was turning us down? In terms of transfers then yes it's best to keep quiet but when our image is being effected and the press are killing us, releasing information that helps fight our corner wouldn't be a bad thing IMO. We are acting professionally and not spouting everything to the press. Dave Whelan felt that he wanted to do that, we have no control over that. In regards to responding... we've made 2 statements in the past 3 days. What more do you want? In depth details and phone numbers? Would you like us to come out and slam Sky Sports?? Get real.

So acting professionally is a PR disaster? As many people have echoed - the media are 'anti villa' because we're not telling them the information, they are as in the dark as we are; and they don't like it.

Sky Sports have showed themselves to be fools to be honest, the amount of stories they are trying to push through so that people put a bet on certain managers. So far this week they've pushed the McClaren, FSW and Martinez - with the constant talk about what the betting rate is. It's all about getting money through Sky Bet. They don't have a clue what's happening.

Cheer yourself up with a bit of news from the Sty http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11688_6979611,00.html

Agreed. Put this on the front page. Randy is in control, and is echoing how professional our club is.

I love how Sky Sports are pissed off at us for how we're dealing with this. I'm looking forward to listening to TalkSport on the way home to see how pissed they are.

I do sometimes wonder what the percentage of Villa fans is on these boards with the amount of trolling.

I'm impressed with our conduct with the media, showing them how crap they really are.

Do you mean from Wales?

Wow I'm kinda scared of people from Villa Talk now... you're all stalkers.

How is that anything to do with the Premier League? Are we now praising talents on lower leagues? Is that how low we've fallen? Didn't Alex Ferguson go from Aberdeen to Man Utd once upon a time? I assume if we'd have been in for him all those years ago you'd have been one of the people claiming he was beneath us If he had the same achievements as Ferguson did at at Aberdeen, I would more than welcome him. But the fact is, he doesn't. No where near. What about David Moyes - Everton got him from Preston after he did well there. Harry Redknapp had to do well with Bournemouth first.

I wonder if Chelsea are as impatient as we are. They've been managerless since the 22nd May! In actual fact... GH still manages us according to Wikipedia....?!

# You know where the door is.

Because we have to. Your points back up why the club should take time. We have a big club, with a huge fanbase, that are still pissed over what happened last summer. Would you rather they jump into a decision or sound out various people? Suprisingly... people in football are on holiday now, before starting back in a few weeks.

:notworthy:

Okay I got bored, and searched for "unemployed football managers"... Marco Van Basten? Don't know that much about him myself? Anyone have any opinions?

... I'm tending not to care anymore. All I ask at the moment is that the new manager signals intent and gets the fans excited.

Anyone else have an angry reaction when going onto Sky Sports home page and seeing the headline "McLeish in frame"... ... Thankfully, for Fulham.

Will people stop posting so much, I do a bit of work, refresh and 3 pages are added and I think we've got someone.
