Aha, thanks for redirecting my post whoever did the honours... I can't wait - getting waves of excitement, nervousness, self-doubt etc...all the usual I guess. It's good to have something far more important to think about than getting too worked up about our next bloody manager!

Randy should just back his judgment, like Ray Houghton said earlier today. If he genuinely feels Mcleish is the best appointment, go for him. He can't bow down to a section of fans gobbing off with every potential manager, we'd never appoint anyone (realistic managers I mean, not managers that would have no inclination to come to us anyway). Of course he's not looking to sell up, he wouldn't have done so much for this club to date to then look to bugger off after 5 years.

Awright?! Oim Danny Dyah, 'un welcum tah "Danny Dyah's Deadliest Toddlahs". Ovah da next hour, O'ill be babysittin' sum o'da most roofless, narsty, badass babees in da world. Deese kiddees could frow tantrums larstin' anyfin' up to an hour. Some of dem are even teevin'. Will Oi make it owt alive? Yows probablee 'ope not. Essentially spot on. I think one chapter started "Now I know you'd rather be down the pub with the boys than do this but...." Brilliant.

Hi All, Not sure if a topic exists for VT Dads, but thought I'd start one. I'm expecting my first baby in December and thought I would consult the VT Dads to see if there's any handy tips/advice that maybe isn't in the books?! I've read a couple of books, one shit (as if it was written by Danny Dyer), and one really good - but I'd value real life experiences more I think. Also, did you insist on your son/daughter growing up as a Villa fan? I'm torn, insomuch that my Dad is an avid Sheffield Wednesday fan, and he forced that on my older brother but decided not to with me after seeing my brother absolutely devastated when they got relegated in the late 80's......and I really thank him for that. Be interested to see how you've gone about that? I'm sure when it comes to it I won't be able to resist buying mini Villa kits and regailing him with stories about Dean Saunders. Cheers!

Good man. AVFC FOR LIFE This x2

What if he brought in 4 or 5 cracking signings and we smashed our first game 4-0. Would people be happy or moaning because it wasn't Mark Hughes standing in the dugout? Surely it's not too much to ask to give the man a chance if he does get appointed.....

Very well said. Whatever his ties, he now has shit all to do with SHA, and could do a job here. No-one can deny he must really be up for the challenge to face us lot and try and deliver.

Just wondering why potential managers and Villa staff choose to meet at Villa Park, the place most certainly garanteed to generate wast amounts of twits and e-mails... If this were true I would be VERY surprised. If they do meet, it will be somewhere out of the media gaze. VP is too much of a public place. How about Corsica? Loads of shit goes on down there.

It's hard to argue with much that he's written there though isn't it?

I've never seen the words 'smokescreen' or 'Corsica' used quite so often....

If you do a google image search for Peter Pannu, a picture of Greg Wallace from Masterchef comes up! Hahaha

**** crikey.....have just got in from work and see that VT has blown up. Stunned.....but trying to find positives. There must be some....the fella did win a trophy 6 months ago?? Shit the bed.

Obvious lack of ambition, sack the board. An ambitious board would have had jacket potato with vietmanese beef and a piece of tottenham cake from gregs after...like me Sources close to Carlo Ancelotti said he **** loved Jacket Potatoes in his time in England................................coincedence????

Forest are, how you say.....underdogsh

Don't be ridiculous....Sky Bet are all over it.

S TOP T ELLING US E VERY POST V ALHALLA E VERYTHING YOU M ENTION IS C RAP C ANT BE L ISTENIN A GAIN R EALLY.. E NOUGH NOW N OB HEAD Struggling near the end there?!

Yeah, you've got to say fair play to him really. Although it's good to get communication from the club, I'm not sure the official statement was the best idea really.......makes it look like Martinez was the number 1 option.

Decided to have the evening off this blinking thread last night.....come back this morning and I literally have no idea what's going on. The last few pages are gibberish! Can anyone sum up what's happened in a snappy sentence?! Probably should just wait until something official comes out.....

Don't forget KMAC and GMAC!

Haha, bloody hell this is unbearable! Are Chelsea fans going through this shite aswell?

Grow up! He also won the CL and also got to another final and not forgetting the second place finish with an amount of points that would have won the league any other year. Exactly.........won the CL with by far the weakest set of players ever to have won the CL (Baros up front?!). And he finished 2nd in the league with only 2 or 3 really good players in his squad. He surely would be the more likely to take us on to another level than a Hughes or Moyes who would never get us above 6th or 7th? Bring him in, get behind him.

I'd love Villa to one day have a sponsor as cool as the VW logo.......

Lets be serious. Look at the sides and resources he won them with! Do people think he's going to do the same with our squad and budget ? I also worry about what interest he'd have in the youth side of things. Thats the only way our club will ever become big again. By nuturing our own He must've been given those jobs for a reason though......being a bloody good manager I imagine!

Mcleish being lined up for the Fulham job according to SSN!
