Who Should be Aston Villa Manager ? Now with new, revised poll

[eastie]

Moyes has let it be known yesterday via senior everton sources that he will not be going to villa and for some reason randy doesn't fancy Hughes unfortunately.

[jacketspuds]

We still have not had an official statement from Everton saying that Moyes is not leaving. Maybe Villa have asked that they don't release one and have accepted that he is not leaving or maybe he is still the number 1 target and RL and PF are currently working to that end.

I would also imagine that it must be a contractual quagmire (giggidy) to get Moyes out of Everton.

[Gerrin]

Maybe this is all a cunning plan, working the supporters into a position whereby now they will accept absolutely anybody the board choose, with little resistance, as long as it isn't Big F-ckin Eck. It's all psycholgy!

I wont believe anything until either Moyes comes out and says it himself or if Kenwright comes out and says it.  There are a million and one "sources" out there and majority of them talk rubbish.  If Moyes was genuinely not interested, then he should have come out and said it

FWIW The General's supposed Facebook rant is now in print on the back page of the Express & Star.

If it is his account, it shows that this stuff about "we never talk to the press" is a bit silly if we're letting stuff like that find its way into the media.

I doubt it was really him, though.

After the pig in mud episode and other media skirmishes over O'Neill's departure, I can't beleive the General would be daft enough to put his thoughts out on FB, especially since the comments are fairly disrespectful to our neighbours owners.

He did, though.

He added: "I know nothing about it and they have a really good manager in place who unfortunately is ill at the moment.

"The last thing he needs to hear is someone talking about his job but I'm not interested in it, so that answers it."

We need to stop this Moyes delusion, he's not leaving Everton.

It was a private message that was copied and pasted onto FB the General didn't put it there directly

I've had the unfortunate experience of listening to TalkShite take the piss out of us all day with their media bolx and insisting all this is because of the way Villa have handled themselves whilst praising Chelski for keeping their appointment out of the media...isnt that what Randy and co have been trying to do? They even had the nerve to say that we dont deserve a top flight manager and that we deserve everything we get after the way the board and fans have conducted themselves over the last 10 days. Unbelievable these ppl are allowed to air their views publicly and even worse that people (including Villa fans) believe the shite they peddle day in day out.

I'm still not convinced we have made anything other than an enquiry for Big Eck which is being blown way out of proportion and as a club seeking a manager it should be part of their job to do so, but if Randy doesnt take notice of the mass negativity coming from Villa fans including this 10,000 person Facebook petition then he really does need to answer questions.

Anyone got a link to this Facebook campaign anyway? I need to sign up!

Moyes said himself he's not interested, why should he or everton release a statement if he is not going anywhere?

He's signed 2 players this week and has no interest in us -I wish he did but the word on merseyside is it's a joke and he has no interest whatsoever in the villa job.

Its all pointing to mcleish now , we were quick to discount ourselves from Hughes but blues have told the world of our scurrilous activities.

I'm amazed at the number of people who are forced, at gunpoint, to listen to Talksport. All day.

Who have Everton signed this week and also when did we confirm that we weren't interested in Hughes? Just curious as I've missed so much of what's gone on.

True pete, if you don't listen then you won't hear it - put on some gentle soothing music and chill.

Everton have signed two players this week?

Not that I'm pinning any hopes on Moyes but the quote about not being interested was when Houllier was still here so its waht you'd expect him to say. He was also quoted as saying he wants a fresh challenge. That's why it hasnt gone away yet.
You can ask people to forget Moyes all you like but until it's definitive, it won't. There is too much chatter about him being one of our top targets for that, whether it's true or false.
For all we know we've had a word with him and offered him something very tempting. You never know.

I'd sooner just go and get somebody like Benitez or van Gaal without any strings though. Plus they're better managers.

Does anyone still think this is all smoke and mirrors?  I wonder if Mark Hughes's demands are too high for Villa and they are trying to play a clever game to get Hughes to back down a little. Maybe he has declared to Randy that he wants the Villa job but is asking for soemthing Villa can't deliver? 

Or, are we really struggling to attract anyone half decent to take the job?

Definately a smokescreen mate!  It will be Hughes or Moyes for the job.

I would be very surprised if this wasn't the case.Hughes being the most likely.

i've been told today by 2 people who work in villa , that it is hughes. not 100% but what they are hearing.

bloody hell, it's 24/7 Villa on TS. They're obsessed with us. Now it's Gough and that other tool talking about us.
