Lets all do a global H&V happy to dance, regardless of who they go for it's got to be better than last year so no worries for a day or 2.

Well, I can't wait for us to get our hands on Lambert.

Thank Christ I was wrong and he's gone. Well done to the club for acting so swiftly. Please please get someone with a bit of football knowledge on the board and a young/up and coming manager to take us forward.

That would literally be the only appointment that would make me even more depressed!

Norwich can say what they like - if lambert wants and is offered the job im sure he would quit carrow road and let the compensation be settled.

I'd forgotten about Roeder
He's still on the payroll
Surely not

Hope that we have UCL experienced manager like Rafa, Ancelotti, Rijkaad, Capello, Louis van Gaal, Héctor Cúper

Oh no, there is another. But only Paulie can have the pleasure of putting the picture up....

There were two up front, with..... I will allow Paulie to do the rest.



As for the statement. The most positive thing to come out of Villa Park since signing Bent. Well worded, and felt like it had though about the Villa fans finally. Thank you.

Villa chairman Randy Lerner said: "Compelling play and results that instil a sense of confidence that Villa is on the right track have been plainly absent."


I have to say, the club has acted far more decisively and urgently on this than I had expected. And that quote above, from Lerner, is pretty strong criticism, given the context of an official club statement.





what a cutting statement from the Chairman

With the technology available today we should expunge all reference to the buffoon from the Club's records. If the Egyptians could do the same with Akhenaten thousands of years ago, surely we can bury the memory of this dreadful season.

I can now go down the ticket office with a smile on my face to renew ST, everyone should renew ASAP to show the club further that the appointment was a colossal mistake. The club know that if he had stayed numbers would have crashed, so all should now get behind club and renew immediately - we as a group have immense power in our wallets!!!

We've got to give him the 'Chris Benoit' treatment.
