...there's more chance Shirley Bassey will be manager of Aston Villa with a coaching staff of Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson.  ;)

Last season was a farce which didn't transfer to the West End never mind Europe but with that managerial team I reckon we're on our way to Broadway.

One of my students who's good mates with Gary Gardner has been told by him to put a bet on Simon Grayson who apparently was at Villa Park all day yesterday. My student has just put a bet of £80 on it.

You heard it here first (that's something I've always wanted to say but never had the chance!)!!!

Sorry, meant to say Bodymoor Heath, not Villa Park.

I know it's easy to dismiss this, but I've seen his betting slip with £80 on Grayson. 6th Form students don't have much money to burn, so for him to do it...

I saw Grayson going in the directors' entrance at the Bolton game. I don't know if I already posted that somewhere. I daresay he's keen for some kind of job at Villa but even he would find it hard to argue that he should be first-team manager.

To be honest chaps, I remember I was at work at The Mail one Saturday some years back. On here somebody mentioned a 'Vassell to Man U' rumour which I repeated to a member of The Sunday Mercury staff. Lo and behold the next day the 'Man Utd are showing serious interest in Darius Vassell'. I guess I should've known better but McLeishgate I think anything is possible until RL repairs the damage.....

Next time you have a drink with your mate, mention that you read on H&V that the Mail is an arsewipe rag. But that he should keep it quiet as the source is very vulnerable.

I don't know whether you read my post but the source is Bill Howell.

Reports in Italy (from Gazzetta Dello Sport) claiming that Capello and Abramovich have met, maybe even reached agreement, on him becoming the new Chelsea manager. Di Matteo would seriously interest me.

Bill Howell wouldn't know a reliable story if it went back in time and fathered him.

Fair enough my point was that you'd like to think that a source close to the club would carry some sort of credibility.

 It wasn't my mates, dogs, auntys, brothers, sisters, son said that etc
