Indecent haste?

[KevinGage]

Rodwell off> Moyes not happy > Moyes to Villa is about the size of it Maz.

Not sure how credible it is, but claims that there had been contact even pre GH healthscare and Moyes was receptive to the idea.

[Mazrim]

Where's Rodwell supposedly going?

[Dante Lavelli]

My guess would be man united.

People seem to want the club to make a public decision. I think it would be prudent to not say anything right now as either decision could 1 change 2 lead to media speculation. Whilst it may not please us villa fans but saying nothing will allow villa to go about things behind the scenes with limited press speculation. I'm sure this will be the case - either way - so we'll just have to be patient.

[KevinGage]

I tend to agree.

No point rushing things -at least publicly. Make sure GH is OK, see the season out and go from there.

Won't stop the speculation though. Even if we want to keep things quiet, there is a good chance that the manager we're after is currently under contract and there will be whispers circulating from that end.

The Moyes/Rodwell thing, Hughes not signing an extension at Fulham and so on.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Hiddink would still be my choice.

Have you any idea how much Hiddick is on? Triple GH's salary.

[pauliewalnuts]

Do you think he may have been throwing his hat in the ring in this interview with his mate Guillem Balague?

Crikey, just a bit. Even down to talking about academies.

We cant sniff at managers with his pedigree, but if the Houllier / Liverpool love-in rankled, it'd be 100 times worse with Benitez.

[PaulTheVillan]

I would be happy with Benitez, but happier with Moyes.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Not that many exciting managers out there really.

Big question marks over Moyes and Benitez.

[Nev]

I wouldn't touch Benitez with a barge pole, I'd rather Ged stayed if the choice was given.

[nick harper]

If there is a change, I would like a manager that continues the philosophy that Houllier has been trying to install in the club in terms of the playing style, structure, promotion of the young players etc. Although its been a car crash of a season, I've seen enough to have been optimistic about the types of players we would have been going for in the summer and the potential for the new season.

It would set us back 12 months if someone came in and just abandoned that progress and started again.

To my mind, Benitez would be closer to that than Moyes.

[WikiVilla]

I nthink Paul Faulkner & Randy Lerner will have to cancel their summer holidays

[Mazrim]

Hiddink would still be my choice.

Have you any idea how much Hiddick is on? Triple GH's salary.

No, I dont go around finding out how much managers are paid. Turkey are paying him a fortune then? Probably explains why he took that job.
Oh well. I rate him but not that highly.

[not3bad]

If Moyes's teams play football that is negative and dour, then Benitez is Mr Comatose city.

[PaulTheVillan]

I've got a feeling Hiddink will be the next Chelsea manager.

[VillaZogmariner]

I've got a feeling Hiddink will be the next Chelsea manager.

Me too, with Ancelotti going to Man City to replace Mancini who I think will go back to Italy with Juventus.
