Or how about this?

watching paint dry would be more interesting than last season... Unless it is Mcleish's house that has just been painted

It's Gunnar be a landslide

Comolli? Though Lerner doesnt want a DOF

Okay dudes, anyone know of a good sci-fi film on LoveFilm? I'm cancelling it Tomorrow, and I fancy a good alien/ monster flik before I tell them to sling their hooks.

Hey.... Wiggy....... Did you........ Think of that all by yourself!?

I think it is in the Lambert thread... some guy claims to be ITK and says we have 8m to spend. Nothing concrete in the slightest. So... how much have you all put on OGS being the next Villa manager? I put £20 on. I told my mate and he put £100 on haha. Let's count how much Thetrees has cost the VT community! 15 pages back or so, in this thread, there's a poster called Villanonsea (I think that's his name) who has stan from southpark has his profile pic. He said that he works at talksport and was in the room when Quiche Flores (or someone connected to Flores) called to say that he had had a phone conversation with Faulkner to declare his interest, but the interest went no further - and that £8m would be the transfer budget - with 50% of money from player sales. That's it. If the poster is correct, then there could still have been many misunderstandings - the person on the phone mis-heard, the person who spoke to Faulkner misheard, Faulkner only said £8m because it's a manager that has no experience in England. Foooook knows

Did you think that up all by yourself? :winkold: If you must know wiggy, I'm part of a team of 17! We work around the clock, coming up with the best, most-fashionable sounding jokes to make us look extremely intelligent and attractive to ladies. So no, I didn't think of it by myself. No pun intended.

To the tune of 'olay olayyy, olay olayyy feeling hot hot hot' (I dunno what the song is called). Ole Oleeee, Ole Oleeee Gunnar Solskjær!

But we're not putting money on because the odds have suddenly shortened (Mick was favourite a day or two ago), we're putting money on because Trees knows where Randys jet is going! The odds have only shortened because of us VTers going crazy with our spare pennies. The fact that you mention the Ancellotti/ McLeish island visit, means that we can almost certainly trust the info that Trees gives us. Of course, another manager could be in that area, but OGS seems like the most obvious/ viable guy there. I'll happily risk £20 if it means I might get close to £300 back!

£10 on Paddypower at 10/1, £10 on William Hill at 20/1. I'd be happy with OGS (I prefer the abbreviation to attempting to spell his name :winkold:). I don't know anything about how he has managed at Molde (infact, I'm sure I read something from someone on here saying that he spent a shedload of money?), but he's young, seemingly has potential and could, hopefully, build a legacy at Villa. I would worry about him wanting to manage Man Utd though With Lambert/ Rodgers/ Marinez, I almost feel like they'd be happy to manage a club the size of ours, like Moyes has been happy at Everton.

CI, you don't half spout some shit! Oslo isn't even a place! He's a character out of Keeping Up Appearances!

I take back my previous post of 'Mazrim for manager' :winkold:

Talksport occasionally get news, but more often than not they just talk about news other reporters have found. If the phonecall was genuine and the information relayed was understood correctly and your source has reiterated it correctly, my only explanation would be that the board will offer a foreign, 'lacking-Prem experience' manager a lower wage budget, to minimise risk. Who knows? Maybe Lerner will be more than happy to give a manager like Lambert/ Martinez/ Rodgers a budget of £20m+, because of their experience of English football.

I was just trying to make a team with the least amount of changes possible, to be honest! Too many changes make it look a bit... 'Football Manager'-esque! I agree with getting rid of Warnock. Dunne I'm not sure about. At times he is a liability, but at others he makes excellent last ditch tackles (as can Collins, on his day). I've got a feeling that Hutton will be kept. Martinez (or whoever) will probably see enough in him to work with. There are more important changes that we need to make.

Ooooo thinking about it... Would I prefer: Martinez with the possibility he could bring Diame ? or Rodgers with the possible influence to buy Sigurdsson? ! Errrrrrrrrmmmmm

Martinez is my personal favourite for a number of reasons. His name is Roberto, mine is Robert. He is very positive He wears a lovely suit He can bring Diame with him and get the best out of N'Zogbia Failing him, I'd be happy with Lambert or Rodgers. Whoever we get, I just hope the fans give him time! I really think that this next appointment, if give the chance, could be with us for years. Hopefully this years terrible season will mean that the next manager gets more of a chance from the fans, even if we're not winning game after game.

Mazrim for manager!!

Like this? Holman ------- Bent ---- N'Zogbia -------- Makoun --- Ireland ------- --------------- Diame -------------- Warnock - Clark - Dunne - Lichaj ---------------- Given -------------- If Martinez was in charge, this could be a formation he'd play. I've put Holman left wing because I think Martinez preferred Zog on the right.

Whoever we appoint, I hope the majority of, if not all, fans get behind him! I'm naturally a very positive person, so I even found some comfort in the appointment of McLeish (possible defensive stability, man management, fluke a trophy :winkold:). But I just hope that the fans can get behind the new guy from the start! We need to unite! We need to come together after a dreadful year and get behind the new manager and his plans. Whether it's Lambert, Rodgers, Martinez..... Hoddle or whoever!

Agreed. Adds credence to the journo (Father Abraham?) on twitter who mentioned about the 40 points threshold for compensation. The word "terminated" suggests to me that AMcL was deemed to be incompetent and dismissed without a pay-off. Don't you know? Randy planned this all along Gazton!! He knew that McLeish would keep us up by the skin of our teeth, he would oversee some costcutting, become the scapegoat, then we can get rid of him for £1.50 and a voucher for a hot chocolate at his local Maccys! Oh Randy you mastermind badboy genius!!!

This echos my feelings exactly. Gave him a chance, he didn't cut the mustard. Let's move onwards and upwards with someone who can get us playing football again! Martinez Lambert Rodgers I don't mind, as long as it's not someone negative (which I doubt Randy will subject us to, after this year, and his statement!)

I'm so excited. I just want to reload my 2015 game of Football Manager, find out which team McLeish is managing, then 'add new manager' to replace him. Just so I can see the words 'McLeish sacked!'

I'm on my lunch at work, but I've had to come back to my desk to keep an eye on VT because my phone's '3G' internetl won't load Villa Talk!!!!
