I think the story's nonsense, but selfish walkout aside, I still rate him as a manager.

If it is true, the new owners will have to be prepared for their wage bill to go through the roof, mainly for mediocre players who won't get a look in.

Yes because they were a model of financial prudence under Benitez.

Without checking I think it's safe to assume our wage bill was much lower than theirs and we finished above them last season.

Still on his side, then?

Just stating facts, I thought you might be avove that sort of sub-Everall type posturing, seems I over estimated you.

You certainly did. Just like you invariably over-estimate our managers.

Marton O'Neill is a fine manager, but what in God's name does he want from a club he manages? If he thinks Liverpool is a better bet than Villa then good luck to him but from what I saw of the Red Scouse yesterday, they have a lot of mediocre players and a sprinkling of ones that should be a class above, but aren't. Were it not for Gerrard and Torres, despite the latter's form, I think Villa would have the better squad.

I thought Liverpool were beyond awful yesterday.

Hopefully Torres and Gerrard (and Reina) will get tired of it and demand out.

MON seemed to have carte blanche to do whatever he liked at Villa without any supervision whatsoever, he's not going to get anywhere near that sort of freedom elsewhere, I think both he and Villa will regret the parting of the ways in time.

It would only be good news for us if MOn went to Liverpool. Sadly he'd be lucky to last a season before he'd be found out.

Good luck to him and them, they'll all need it.

I'd feel really sorry for Woy.

He won't manage another English team unless they have shit loads of money compared to the rest (Man Utd/Chelsea/Man City) because he knows he won't do any better than what he did at Villa.

For someone who had three 6th place finishes in a row and a Cup Final in his last, he's getting an awful lot of grief. This, as some seem to have not noticed, is the best Villa have consistenly done for many a year.

A sending off for Vidic and Dunne not fucking it up and we could've won the cup. But, based on a referees decision and a player making a mistake, MON is deemed a failure.

I know why people don't like him, but he seems to be being put in the same brackets as DOL, which seems very bizarre considering how well he did for us.

Well he's buggered then. Can you see him getting a job outside the UK? No chance. I still think he'll end up at Newcastle or Sunderland.

They had one of them he was the FSW - players bought that have never kicked a ball for them !

As i've already written, that makes it even less likely that they'd want another wastrel like Doh'Neill.

That's mainly because of the manner and timing of his departure.

I would be quite staggered if this happened to be honest.

They are welcome to him if it did come to pass mind.

Shame on you for resorting to facts.
