Bladerunner Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I had a couple of quid on Lambert at 9/2 just as the OGS news broke tonight. He went in to 7/4 and now he's on the drift again. I just can't work out this market. I'm now beginning to think Curbishley looks an attractive price at 28/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Again Faulkner and Lerner make us look like fools. I can honestly see them appointing macdonald now and I will be absolutely furious if that happens. I think anyone believing ogs is coming now is a fool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swerbs Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Who the **** is Bryan Doogan and why would he tell TV2 but BBC or SkySports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubby Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Still wouldn't say that there is anything official in this. Whoever get's the job and as long as they fit the criteria set, I am happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didiersix Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Who the **** is Bryan Doogan and why would he tell TV2 but BBC or SkySports? Brian Doogan is head of press at Villa. If this is true, my guess is it was an off the record quote reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 The official bit is Mat Kendrick and Brum Mail. Although I think that Ole is well and truly gone, this story has legs, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNorwegianWay Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Who the **** is Bryan Doogan and why would he tell TV2 but BBC or SkySports? Says in the Norwegian paper he is Press Chief at Villa? Also strange that even after hearing that,Ole Gunnar refused to confirm anything...and he looked puzzled apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I won't truly believe it until I see cold hard quotes in writing that he's said this.. Everyone seems to have jumped on the back of what Kendrick wrote in the Birmingham Mail, which also lacked **** quotes. The only people that have quotes from OGS are journalists in Norway where he's said "I'll say more tomorrow" which is not a denial or an admission. To me it's more of a "I'm going home, my wife and I will talk it over and I'll see how I feel in the morning".. I think everyone in the media has jumped to conclusions based on him not leaving the meeting and shouting from the hills "I am Villa manager!!" and assuming the worst..

bose Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Kendrick wouldn't post something like that if he didn't have Villa's approval and concrete info. The only weird thing is the no comment from Solskjær himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyscartwright_avfc Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 So Tim, I know you may not give away your sources, but how did you find out before everyone else? And are you 100% sure because nothing official has come from Villa, Molde or OGS yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didiersix Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Still gutted here... Yeah. Think he was something different. What worries me is what we are left with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorwegianWay Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Solskjær wouldn't even say if he's continuing at Molde when asked. "You'll know soon enough" he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
