Would you be happy with Ole Gunnar Solskjær? Now with added poll.

[mr woo]

Well until this is properly confirmed there's always the chance somethings been lost in translation... but that appears doubtful.

Trying to put a positive spin on things, how about we take Lambert on a three year deal and see how that goes. If hes successful we're happy. If he's not, we go back for Ole (assuming he has continued to progress in the right way) safe in the knowledge he's gained a few more years experience.

No way will it be Grayson

What a kick in the stones that is.
Right,where is the jet off to now ?

Sad time again for us Villains. A managerial nobody turns us down. I really do hope Randy and co have a plan otherwise it's going to just like the last two manager chases embarrassing.
I didn't want him but still gutted that he has turned us down.

You didn't want him, but you're still gutted he has turned us down?

Great logic there.

[Clampy]

My original first choice was Lambert but i really warmed to the idea of Solskjaer coming here so i'm a little disapointed. Nice idea from Randy and fair play to him for that.

[Des Little]

Whoever comes in will know they're our second/third choice, no matter what the club say.  It's madness but I didn't want him at first but after reading up about him and his philosophy, I was excited about him getting the job.  What a shame.

[claret and blue blood]

Simon Grayson ? No fucking thanks !

[Tony Boucher]

Ok, digested it and it occurs to me Randy isn't promising to put his hands in his pockets very much. It looks bleak.

Total guesswork on your part though

[silhillvilla]

I think they know already lambert will say no
Hence no approach to save embarrament
This is where the board must not panic
Stay cool, take a few days, regroup

Norwich International

I can see it being Simon Grayson. There's been no approach made for Lambert according to some ITK's on this site, not sure who else there is out there.

But were they the same ITK's that said OGS was as good as here?

Simon fucking Grayson! Do us a favour and fuck off! Couldn't even sort Leeds out. Bottom of the barrel ladies and gents.

"Solskjær is no longer an option for Villa. He said no, due to his family" -Bryan Doogan, Aston Villa media director.

Due to his family? Bollox. Over the last 3/4 days he has been saying if they make an offer I will take the job!

[eastie]

Nobody expected solksjaer to have a change of heart - randy included.

This isn't about money.  It's a man putting his family first, nothing more.
