Are we any further on with the Zoggie deal or have we made a firm bid? Does MM have any information on it?

I've no great love for Downing and way though he was just a good player, nothing more. That was until last season and he had the best of his career! Fair play he changed my mind on him in terms of his ability but albeit in a poor Villa side he was our best player. Same as above though, get replacements lined up or signed and let him go. He has really disappointed me since the season has ended. For me it's not just about your performance on the pitch but off it too and of it he has let the Villa down. Goodbye if we get in quality replacements, although that is the hard part.

word removed.

Good luck watching dross? You muppet we'll all be watching the same team, Villa. I personally think Tony Pulis and Stoke have done fantastically well in the past two years. Would you rather we play well a d lose or draw then?! Maybe you should watch Stoke City then. The reason the national team and a lot of the club sides in this country never win anything is because football is now secondary to winning. Do you think Barcelona and the Spanish national team have your mentality? You may like to watch hoofball every week but in the end football will always rise above it. However, it takes a certain manager, certain coaching methods and certain players to do this and Alex McLeish will never fit this style so good luck watching dross.

Totally agree.

All I care about is results. We won't play like Barcelona, we never will. I don't want to play well and draw or lose. I don't care how we win, I just want to win. I'll judge the new manager on results first and foremost!

Oh yeah... Ireland. Head **** but talented. Shame about the attitude. If he had Craig Gardner's attitude we'd have a player on our hands.

the under 21s depress me with how abysmal they are. im worried that 2 of our so called starlets, cant get into the team. Well I can understand why The Fonz isn't in the team, there are better players in front of him who have done more than him at Premiership level but why Marc isn't in the team I can't understand!

Is it just me or do other wish they could just fire the vacancy so we can try to move on? We will have to. Round and round in circles on here lads... Put me out of my misery.

Inow, are we still expecting this statement tonight?

Funny, normally on here nobody believes reports in The Mirror. Strange... I think people want to believe it because of how shit they feel at our current managerial situation.

Or Tony Pulis?

It has very little to do with that! It's his shit football, shit signings and the fact that he's gotten a team relegated twice in the last 4 seasons. Admittedly, it is bad that he's come SHA, but only because when anyone tries to express their disapproval of the appointment people just come back with "you're only saying that because he managed Birmingham". Is it four full seasons or three and a half? He came in halfway through the first relegation during his stay did he not? I know his football is uninspiring, defensive, boring etc. We haven't played like brazil in a while though ourselves. I am not just coming back with the SHA connection because people are showing their disapproval. People showed their disapproval at McClaren, this takes it to a far more serious scale than that and you know it. People keep talking about the top four but we are miles away from that. Which is a great shame, but with the money at that end of the table I don't believe we can compete now. We got close under MoN and if we could get to that level again I would personally be very happy.

Idiot.

I think the reaction is bonkers Julie and I really believe that the majority of the reaction is down to the fact that he is has been Birminghams manager for the past few years. Sure he was relegated twice with them (possibly only one of those drops was his fault), sure he is an uninspiring choice but the reaction has been crazy. I really feel like a lot of our fans have let the club down. I mean graffiti?! That is a stupid and childish thing to do to your own club. I wouldn't have picked him in a million years. I am not happy about it. Although one thing is for sure folks, nothing will stop me supporting the Villa. Nothing.

Same.

so are you ITK or just an attention whore? or isnt it the same thing anyway according to you? We talked about this earlier, just call him Dick.

I wonder who else has been interviewed. I guess Moyes doesn't want the job or we can't get to speak with him otherwise he would be the man for the job.

It won't be McCleish!

Yep. Can we call you Richard?

Stop getting on like a child mate. MM was in ITK! While I don't know much about YorkshireCoop, I am willing to listen to what he has to say. Lets face it if he isn't ITK then big deal, it would be just one more person talking crap in this thread. Round and round and round and round. Circles...

I like you, and I like how you are thinking. I will keep the faith and pray for Moyes. I have all sorts of people texting me about this, bets in work that he won't be manager. Lets see...

I am trying not to let myself get excited about this rumour (?) just now. I'll wait until morning to see if there is official word from Everton... Won't be able to sleep though.

Please, please, please, let me get what I want this time... Moyes!

Where's he flying in from? That is as far as I go. Nothing cryptic, but it's not relevant. I wonder if tomorrow will bring us all some much anticipated news? I for one will be glad to see all this over, I have been dreaming about the managerial situation for the last week! Then we can all move onto the summer transfers & kit (what new kit?) threads
