Matt Kendrick from the mail:-

David Moyes, Frank Rijkaard and Mark Hughes remain high up the fans’ wish-list of new bosses following the latest online poll on the Birmingham Mail website on Friday.

But Villa’s hopes of recruiting any of them remain slim for different reasons and their new favoured choice is not believed to come from that trio of high-profile names."

Claudio Raneiri anyone ?

This is the biggest load of bollocks since sliced bollocks. Mysteryman,meltdown man,ginger Scotsman,only two people know,smoke screens.

It's an absolute joke.

Dare I ask why? It's frustrating to not really know what's going on I'll admit but if it's to the benefit of the club then I don't mind.

Obviously take with a pinch of salt but here's the latest from our supposed ITK friends on Twitter. To be fair to Villa_Insider, she was right about Houllier before it was announced, but I had heard she'd left the club, assuming she's in touch with people who still work there.

Villa_Insider AstonVillaInsider

Its 12.30 in Birmingham & Liverpool. 07:30 in Cleveland & New York. Meetings and negotiations to resume in 30 mins. Dont expect news today.

and from our other friend who we are all skeptical about...

Christ, AVFCMysteryMan is NOT the Mystery Man! Just some bloke that signed up to Twitter a couple of days ago to post a load of illiterate shite.

This is becoming detrimental to the club so whoever it is, we better make that appointment quickly, otherwise we can kiss goodbye to the transfer window!

Yep. Holy ****, there is only nearly 3 months of the window left! :shock:

What's even more amusing is that more people will have this point of view on Sunday than yesterday, even though there has been no business days in that time frame.

Just goes to prove that people use the transfer window excuse just because they are getting impatient and want some action.

True, however this isn't championship manager, you cant just click a few buttons and make a few signings.

Any manager coming in is going to have assess the current squad, identify the areas that need strengthening, draw up suitable transfer targets based squad analysis and potential transfer viability. Then after all that, begin the long and often painfully draw out transfer negotiations process.

So yes I'm slightly concerned.

It's been nearly 16 years since I last played Championship Manager!

Current managers aren't going to be able to assess the squad until they return to pre-season, which isn't until July.

Transfers, you can start earlier, but even this can wait until end of June. How many transfers are usually done before the end of July? Not many.

I really don't think there is too much to worry about right now. I'd even be ok with this going on for another couple of weeks as it is far more important that we get the right person in tomorrow, rather than the wrong person today.

I agree about getting the right person. However where current managers do have an advantage, is they have the luxury of compiling their squad analysis based on squad/individual performances in the previous campaign. Our new manager wont have that option.

Any news on this meeting at 13:00 or was that more Twitter lies?

What meeting?

Re; the above, it's Twitter bollocks. Twitter is a mobile way of adding posts on VT or H&V. None of it is true, it's just speculation and opinion. Believe it at your peril/frustration/disappointment. Load of old tosh. If you throw enough out there, something eventually will stick.

Old fist face has done a decent job anywhere he's managed. Pity he has a reputation for not hanging around. I bet he'd love to do a job for Villa.

McLeish, just don't see it. Let him carry on where he is, hopefully they'll get relegated again.

The comments by MM earlier on about it being between two people. I think he meant, it's between two Managers, not between PF and Randy. I'd say Moyes and **** knows.

I hope Randy realises that he will have 36,000 alcoholic nervous and unstable wrecks in the ground, come our first home game :lol:

Does he realise what hes doing to us 8)

Not saying I believe this guy, just passing this along from that Mysteryman's twitter;

Someone asked: @AVFCMysteryMan and you're still 100% confident? Is that a gut feeling or it's just at a point where it's inevitable?

His response: @harrywrose it is as inevitable as the Blue's not winning the European Champions League next year 101% we have him.

Again, just passing it on.

yes but if they need the compensation money they wont speak out cause the deal will be off

JESUS !!

This is said as fact!! We know **** all about any deal. We are guessing that we have a meeting with Moyes today, we are guessing that it'll be off if it goes to press. By the same token, as already said, every Chairman would protect themselves from Aston Villa by placing deals in the press? No chance. If Villa want Moyes, the wouldn't give a flying fart if it ends up in the papers, it will not effect Villa still WANTING him will it and will not stop Everton from seeking compo for the remaining years of his contract. I doubt very much whether it's in our interests to offer them more compo if they keep schtum? What do we gain from that? No other clubs seem to want him at the moment.

Calm down dear, I was just passing on the information, people can decide for themselves whether or not they want to believe it.

Besides I did say "our friend we are all skeptical about" did I not?

Just passing on the information that's all, not saying I believe it.

I wouldn't mind Raneiri actually. He certainly has Premier League and European experience. He was treated very poorly by Chelsea in my opinion.

So I missed the last 40 pages after last nights TS Twitter feed and Villa_Insider both claiming Moyes was to be sorted today.

What's the crack with that? Still presume nobody is any the wiser?

Correct.

Though Mcleish is now favorite on the bookies, with no information in the public domain to explain why. I personally feel it is because of the twitter feed regarding the "ginger scotsman".

Free money on BetFair if you wish to lay Mcleish.

Can you help me out please mate - never laid someone on Betfair before and it's confusing me somewhat.

Firstly why are there three columns on every manager with different odds? Don't get that at all, surely they are offering one price?

Then when you click on a manager - McLeish for example - why does the 'Backer's odds' arrow allow you to change the odds? Also, what is that 'Payout' and 'Liability' option about?

And lastly, if you aren't already tearing your hair out, why when I stick £25 against Owen Coyle to be manager does it say returns £312.50 - that seems far too high. Surely if McLeish is more of a favourite at present his lay odds would be higher than someone like Coyle?

Thanks in advance

Bump. FAO VillaLi0n.

Yeah it was a total disgrace, the right decision in the end but it was handled very badly. Mourinho was a total dick about it too. Think he's been a good manager but he's on his way down imo.

To be fair, and not having a go at Kendrick, but he knows about as much as us, and that what he does, is proberly what the club want him to know....

He cant turn around to them and say its bollox. Basicly, hes between a brick and a hard place 8)

I bet there is only three people on the planet who knows. Randy, PF and Mark Hughes......hopefully :lol:

3 different columns are the 3 best sets of odds available. The column highlighted in pink is the best available. The anount in £ shown in the box is the money available to lay
