my prediction is
Lambert - Villa
Martinez - Liverpool
I agree John. And I think we'd have the better of the deal as well.
Could be, Risso: with all the egos at Anfield and the pressure of exploiting all of KKK's expensive signings Martinez will find that a big step up.
The benefit - and attraction - of the Villa job is that several of the billy-big-bollox players are ending contracts and the remaining core is young and ambitious.
EDIT: big step-up for Rodgers too.
