They are playing Al Ain which is the team ODreary used to manage.
If he's over here in Dubai I'm going to frequent all the usual suspect bars and go on a full on Zoggy hunt.
A few weeks ago me and mates ended up having a few drinks with Warnock, Steve Stone and Alan Thompson's ex wife (of all people) whilst they were on their hols over here. All said that when they move club they do it purely on their agent's recommendation, and not a lot more comes into play.
So, I guess if that's the norm, if Charlie's agent wants him to come to Villa, then he'll be coming to the Villa.
What did Wanock have to say when you spoke to him?
