Hi guys, newbie to the site but have watched from afar for many months.

I want to throw something out there. Not its one anything and fully aware of the possibility for me looking a fool, but I have something interesting for you to think about/discuss/rip the p etc etc.

AVB signed his contract with Chelsea on 22nd June 2011. Hewas sacked 4th March 2012. Chelsea paid 13m compo to take him from Porto which was on that years accounts. It is widely acknowledged at AVB is still currently on the Stamford Bridge payroll so is it possible that they are seeing out the first 12 months of his contract before paying off the remainder(in this years accounts) that being he case, AVB is effectively not available for further employment ( due to a probable contract clause until after 23 June 2012)

Now I know this is a long shot, but would this not tie in with MM comment about this dragging on bait and also explain with things are so obviously quiet.

As I say, not itk, and possibly not the best way to introduce myself to the forum with a speculative punt, but hey, you only live once!!!

Plausible explanation of things. When AVB's agent stated that AVB was after a longevity and looking for a "project" Randy and Faulkner should have got on the phone like a shot because this ties in with their "vibrant dynamic" statement. He is out of the Liverpool role, and if his agents comments are true, then AVB's employment prospects fits in nicely with our ethos for the future. If Mcleish was the 19th highest paid manager in the world, then AVB should settle for something the same. Was he earning more than that at Porto? Leaving Chelsea, having not done so well, one would expect not to have the same level of wages. If he is interested in the Roma job, will not be as high as the villa job. I think AVB will be a perfect fit for the Villa! He is the only manager who will excite the crowd, after OGS!!

Martinez for me. Second choice would be Brendan Rodgers.

Martinez or Quique Flores. Just want to move out of the 1970's, that we've had to endure with O'neill and McLeish. Houllier had the right idea but changed too much too quickly and was just a complete

OGS is really coming and this is all an elaborate ruse :!: :!:

I thought that yesterday.

Tonight I think its Mick and he will re sign Heskey - and make warnock captain - we will get relegated - and go into administration shortly after , and then Carson Yeung will buy us - and re appoint Mcleish

This is a thread for doom and despair. Your post has no place here :)

267 zillion pages and nobody's picked that one up. Good work. Maybe while we're tearing our hair out, AVB is quietly contacting the players he plans to sign for Aston Villa on the 24th of June. Probably not, but hey!

Good post. A long shot but you never know

Really can't see AVB wanting to come to Villa. Having won things with Porto I think he will want to go to aclub with a chance of success, hence why he is interested in the Anderlecht job.

OH GOD! the mirror reporting that RDM is in pole position to be Villa manager, yet do not back the statement with any tangible evidence!! No to RDM. If not AVB id settle for Gus Poyet

If that is true RL and PF are going for their hatrick of crap appointments.

If RL is seriously considering RDM over all the other plausible candidates he deserves torture.

I'd take Gregory over RDM, no contest.

I am afraid this is the sort of appointment you get when your chairman and side kick know **** all about football.

I am fuming because of all the rumours flying around, this has a horrible feeling of being true. RL ought to go and ask a few Albion season ticket holders what they think about RDM.

I don't quite get all the negativity towards RDM.

He's only 41 and just won an FA Cup and the Champions League. At West Brom he had a very good first season, getting promoted to the Premier League, followed by a good start to his second season (winning Manager of the Month for September). He then hit a difficult patch, which will be expected with any young manager (see AVB for example) and was harshly fired.

He made some good signings for West Brom such as Odemwingie with the kudos of just having won the Champions League should be able to hire some.

All this was playing attacking passing football, contrary to the myth that seems to appeared about him playing negative football (from people who have only watched the Barcelona and Bayern matches). He certainly wasn't playing defensive football when beating Napoli 4-1 or beating QPR 6-1.

Is he really that much of worse appointment than Poyet or indeed OGS. Given time he could turn out to be an excellent manager.

Harsly fired, you serious? Ask any West Brom fan what they think of him and you will see.

This is the sort of shit that gives villa fans a bad name.

Moaning about a champions league winner potentially being appointed.

Dont you think he will have learned so much after winng that?

Dont you think he is worth a shot? Didnt you also see some fine attacking displays from chelsea since he took over? Didnt he get drogba and torres back firing? Mikel looks like a different player too.

Pathetic on here sometimes. No wonder we get a bad name.

There is alot of negativity towards RDM because many of us have friends who are Albion supporters. I remember when he was sacked how pleased they all were. If he is not good enough for Albion and Chelsea, he is not good enough for us.

He did well at Chelsea but once a team gets on a roll they motivate themselves. Villa is an entirely different proposition and I don't think he is up to the task.

If you hire a 39 year old manager, you have to accept there are periods where things don't go well. He had a very three bad months at West Brom, but did an excellent job before then. Most neutrals at least thought he was harshly fired at the time.

All young managers (including OGS) will have bad spells. Look at Ferguson when he first arrived at Man United. If we hire a young manager we need to have the patience to give him 2-3 years, and over that time I think RDM could become very good for us.

He is still only 41!
