Lambert's replacement

[Stu]

Pat Murphy is on 5live at 7 discussing the possibilities apparently.

[Dave]

Houllier as DOF with Gary Mac as head coach with Laursen as assistant would look quite good. Never happen though.

Sounds pretty rubbish to me. Houllier is unwell and out of football.

No he's not. He's Head of Football Operations (or some such title) for Red Bull, overseeing New York, Salzburg, Leipzig and whichever other clubs they've picked up recently. Been doing it since the summer after he left us.

Does he ever really know anything?

[Ian.]

I quite like Pat Murphy, he always seems to know more than most of the goings on at Villa Park. Not like some reporters who report what they have read elsewhere.

Loved his incisive comments that Villa may appoint someone short-term...or someone long-term...then frightened the shite out of me by mentioning Hoddle...again!

Ah ok. So pretty much no chance of him joining distinctly non-Red Bull Villa then?

I doubt he'd find the time to have a job at Villa, he's obviously a busy man. Still, I suppose he has lots of freebies so he won't need much sleep...

Anyone who thinks Hoddle would be a good appointment deserves to suffer in their next life.

Sherwood had a 59% win ratio down Spurs? He can be the biggest tw+t of them all if he manages to get that ratio here.

Absolutely none at all.

I imagine that it's the sort of eye-wateringly well paid, cushy, connections-based job that anybody would be silly to leave. Let alone for the prospect of six more months at the Villa.

Although I wonder if there's anything new about Red Bull in the takeover thread...

You don't have to listen to it, might be interesting though.

laursen just said it couldnt get any worse could it    ( about lambert sacking ) 

[Stu]

They've also interviewed Martin Laursen.

To be honest, he seems more enthusiastic when covering cricket these days.
