Yeah, just what GED wants to see when he flicks on hospital TV  ::)

It depends on if they mentioned Ireland coming back immediately before. He was probably relieved!

After what he's been through with his heart problems, the last thing that's going to worry him is what SSN's are speculating. He'll know more about what's going to happen than they can guess at.

Still doesnt make for great viewing
Lets hope he's watching Allo Allo or something similar instead

When there is a big sports story there coverage is the best there is.

Spot on, their coverage of Beckham training at "The Lodge" was mesmerising

Surely they wouldn't allow Ged to watch SSN if there's a chance Ireland's face might come up?!

My preference would be for Houllier to be fit and well and managing Villa but that is not going to happen. Whoever managers Villa will have to have the same philosophy as Houllier in regards to playing style and the type of players he brings in. Which of those rumoured is closest to this will get my vote.

Not sure if it's been done:

Hughes and Moyes in the frame

Quote
ASTON VILLA want Mark Hughes or David Moyes as their new manager - if stricken Gerard Houllier is forced to quit after his latest heart scare.
Fulham boss Hughes and Everton's Moyes are top of owner Randy Lerner's hitlist as he waits to see whether Houllier will be fit enough to stand the stresses and strains of Premier League management again.

Hughes was hand-picked by Lerner to replace Martin O'Neill when the Irishman quit last August. But the Villa owner turned to Houllier because Sparky, 47, felt unable to leave Fulham after just two months in charge.

The situation could change now, though, after a mediocre spell at Craven Cottage where the ex-Wales, Blackburn and Manchester City manager has been hit by indifferent form and a spate of bad injuries.

Moyes, 47 has been in charge at Everton for nine years.

And the Goodison club insist he will only be allowed to leave if they can persuade O'Neill to take up the reins next season - or prise Paul Lambert away from Norwich.

Former Celtic and Leicester boss O'Neill, 59, decided against a return to the Premier League with West Ham just a few months ago.

He may also be reluctant to join Everton because of the Merseysiders' lack of thrust in the transfer market - the same reason Moyes might be persuaded to leave.

Not sure how Evertonian's would feel about the bit in bold. 

I thought at the time O'Neill was strongly linked with West Ham they'd be chuffed to get a manager of that calibre, but the overwhelming response on their sites seemed to be 'do not want/ shit style of football' and so on.

Odd, as I thought he was highly rated across the board and it was only some of our lot (me included) who had grown a bit bored with his approach, familiarity breeding contempt and all that. Seems quite a few elsewhere had grown wise to him too.

From the initial responses of a few Everton fans they seem less than enamoured with the idea also, citing similar concerns.

Come on Kevin, you're a smart fella...The Sun hedging their bets, Benitez will be their next name in a few weeks, and then they can say they got it right first if any of the names mentioned come true.

Aye.

Throw enough darts and some will eventually stick I suppose. The bit about Everton insisting on O'Neill or Lambert as replacements sounded pretty specific, but I guess that's all part of the rouse.

I'd be happy with Lambert if GH doesn't return. He's done a great job at Norwich and at Colchester before.

Anyone listen to the Glasgow School thing on R5 last night?  All the consistently successful teams in the UK have had Glaswegians in charge.

This means that for us to do well for a long time we need Moyes, Lambert, Coyle or...errr....Darren Ferguson!  It's why KMac won't be a long term success since he's from Inverness.
