Liking the not so subtle choice of picture in Lambo's gallery on the OS.

Beating Solskjær to the punch indeed.

Loving this photo, I'm sure they had to dig deep to find this gem out. And what a great 'coincidence' it is!!

Looking forward to seeing who his first signing is, cue the we've got no money jibes when it's a free transfer from abroad! Can't wait to see our starting XI come August with a bit of backing and dealing!

Just listened to the PF interview from today and seemed a knowledgable likeable chap. Certainly gone up in my estimations in recent weeks, hopefully know we have turned a corner and the bright future can be bright once again.

I think Dunne and Warnock are on their way out out of the 4 IMO. No bad thing in any way shape or form. Really looking forward to the summer dealings and the start of the season already

IMO Collins will be shown the door before Dunne, considering his two misdameanours with the drink, two seasons in a row.

Dunne, fair play to him got himself (with the assistance of the club's physios) match fit for the final couple of games and played well.

i'm guessing Collins is more of the 'trouble maker' than Dunne.

TBH I prefer Dunne to Collins and rather get rid of Collins before him. Not sure who will go first, as long as PL replaces the departing man with a better centre half I'll be happy, and I have faith that he will be able to. Can Holt play centre half? Hopefully square pegs into round holes are behind us and the days of Hutton and Warnock in midfield are but a distant memory.

Is that for Holt MM or players in general? Would be happy with Holt for the right price.

Looking forward to seeing him speak and hearing what he has to say. Hopefully bring the buzz back to Villa Park again, cannot wait for the turnaround now! Exciting times ahead again I think, delighted to have Lambert on board.

Wouldn't mind Rafa to be fair, think Martinez is holding out as he'd prefer the plop job, not even convinced we've contacted Wigan as stated as DW would be screaming from the roof tops! Really have no clue the avenues we're going down at the minute as they're keeping their cards very close to their chest.

I imagine RL was anticipating the meeting with OGS to be a lot more low profile than it was, and is sounding out a few of the options and interviewing them. Intrigued to see who the other 2 candidates are, hopefully of a similar calibre and excitement level.

Loving that headline, big bad Villa are in town! I'm definitely warming to the idea of Solskjaer.

I'm willing to give the guy a chance, seems as though he has bright ideas and has the potential to be brilliant. He likes to get his teams playing football rather than anti-football which is great, hopefully can ring a few Scandinavian gems along with him too. Hopefully this can be done and dusted soon so he has a full pre-season to reshape the squad and get them playing his way.

Same. Went to put a fiver on on skybet and he came in from 33-1 to 8-1 as I was just about to do it! Is that the VT effect? Madness!

How many of Chelsea's current stars did Ranieri sign back in the early Abramavich days? I'm just thinking that he started that dynasty and wondering how many of those team of today were formed by him, just shows his ability to build a team that lasts. The more I think about Ranieri the more I think he'd be a good appointment, and his win percentages are impressive.

Sounds like its hotting up with Randy jetting in with a target in his sights! Sounds as though there was actual preparation this time round rather than the scatter gun approach! Interesting to see Mysteryman and Father Abraham go toe-to-toe, my money would be on Mysteryman this time round. A move which would excite fans sounds interesting, I'm intrigued to watch the appointment process this time round.

I have butterflies I'm that excited/nervous about this! He has to go, with the times reporter getting wind I that it seems ever closer! Come on! UTV

Keeping everything crossed for a swift axing!! Come on Randy do the right thing for AVFC!

Get out of our club you useless knob!! He's beyond deluded! Hope he goes and the heart and soul of our club can be restored!!

Please lord make it happen! Although I do think there is pretty much zero chance of it happening!!

I wouldn't mind Lambert at all, a young ambitious manager with a point to prove that he can cut it at this level with higher expectations than at Norwich. Failing that, Martinez would be a good choice in the hope he's had a change of heart since last summer.

It would be suicide selling Bent IMO, if he decides he wants out you can't blame him, but if we have a choice in the matter he has to say, without Bent we're bereft of any idea on how to score. With a change in management the base of a very strong side is there and needs to be built around Bent and Ireland.

A good solid rb, and fits in with the cost cutting exercise, and younger and as good as L. Young. Hopefully a couple more as well tomorrow!

Wasn't N'Zogbia captain of Wigan for a while this season? Could be an option for next season if he performs for us this season, stick with Petrov for now and Dunne as vice-captain IMO.

I really want Ireland to be a star this season...mainly just to piss all the negative doubters off!!!

This! I think he'll be great for us this season and will silence a lot of critics!

I would certainly take him on a free, think if we're interested we'd have a great chance as he has a lot of connections at the club, Given, Beye and Nzogbia from Newcastle and Dunne and Ireland from City, could be in pole position to get him if Eck wants him.

Come on Charlie sign on the dotted line! Get the number 10 shirt on your back and work your magic. If you'd told me this time last year we'd have Bent and N'Zogbia playing for us I wouldn't have believed you. Great business by the Villa! Might have to get home and away shirts as I'm torn between getting N'Zogbia or Bent on the back! Looking forward to these 2 linking up, think they'll work well! UTV!

About time... Can't wait to see him itsoptp, hopefully!
