Who do you want as the next manager? New poll option.

Villa owner breaks his silence. 'We are doing nothing until after the play-offs have finished', leading to continued speculation about Sam Allardyce, should West Ham fail to beat Blackpool. 'Popularity with fans is our chief concern.'

well there's definitely something in this Steve Nicol thing as he has dropped to 28-1. Not earth shattering I grant you, and I'll start to brick it when he hits single digits. I've been on the Toronto FC website and they had someone mention it in their version of Off Topic. Off to check out the New England forum. Those fans won't be happy as he is very popular over there. His teams are very organised and play some nice stuff on the deck.

Toronto, there's not "definitely something in this Steve Nicol thing" whatsover, as I said before, a movement of that nature, in a market this small, means absolutely nothing whatsoever.

By your own measurement, if there's something in Steve Nicol based on that movement, then Mick McCarthy must be getting his initials painted on his new parking space at Bodymoor Heath.

there is something in it, and i know what it is

I can smell it from here.

Doesn't have to be the Championship play-offs. We could poach Danny Wilson.

I'm not ruling out Jockey Wilson.

If we poach him, he'll be toast.

If that's his chief concern, he should hire the Sky Sports girls to cheerlead at Villa Park.

paulie, don't shoot the messenger mate. It just seems weird that his number should have moved as much as it has in one day. He's done well out here, he has reputation as a very successful player in England at one of the most successful clubs ever. If Randy wants to create a different environment, and a culture of success then he'll be somebidy worthy of an opportunity. He's the right age as well. He also plays the right brand of football. You might be right, but he's not the same old names that have been recycled in English football. He'd bring some new ideas.

That explains the Mick McCarthy link then - we're nicking the Green Bay Packer's coach. February's a bit of a long wait though.

I know it's not the technicality you're debating, but it won't be Steve Nichol. He'd provoke just as much bemusement and disquiet as someone like McCarthy, albeit for different reasons.

Not shooting the messenger, at all, I'm just saying that the basis for your argument, ie the odds move, really means nothing at all.

The appearance on TotP was an absolute classic.

[mr woo]

Norwich fans are very worried Lambert is off judging by their forums, but also just as convinced he won't go before next weeks friendly Vs Celtic.
