Something or nothing? Private jet charter from Madrid landed this evening. Long shot, but didn't someone mention Spanish link?

Paul Clement?

I sincerely hope so

Fingers crossed

I can't believe I keep reading Hoddle's name in the press. Gotta be a PR/agent putting it out there on his behalf. Surely we won't fall for that. He wasn't much cop as a manager either (one promotion and two losing finals nearly 20 years ago) and it been 10 years since he was a manager. Madness. Might as well throw Trevor Beelzebub Francis' name in the mix.

What's Terry Venables doing?

Watching the celebrity death match thread.

I've read on another (non-villa) forum - Ian Dowie FGS !

But thinking about it -- not him actually -- but a "thug type" guy, with something to prove who can motivate our millionaires and get himself back in the market for managers.

Whomever it is, with the club up for sale and any new owner more than likely to have a preffered manager/coach - this appointment  isn't going to attract the cream.

So get a "thug". Has Roy got another book out soon?

Steve McClaren has ruled himself out but did have a few kind words to say; “No doubt who goesh in, it ish a ferry good job, a big job and a schleeping giant and schomeone ish going to be ferry lucky to get that.”

Well schpoken Schtefe!

We could do a lot worse than the fat spanish waiter

Heard the rumours about spending before. I tend to think the General may be on the side of righteousness there.

Sir Brian was on R5 Live today and without throwing his hat in the ring, said he would do anything to help the club if asked.

Villa are in my blood he said. A true legend.

I love Brian. I don't want him back as Manager Unless he is very successful, as I would hate him to fail, but that comment is all class.

[JD]

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Exactly Dave, why the hell does Krulak need to get involved. It's all been quite amicable, acceptable and dignified then this buffoon opens his big mouth.

Someone stop him talking...

What do you mean? Our greatest fan ever is surely allowed to voice his opinion? He bleeds claret and blue after all...

Clement would be a huge gamble surely?  Possibly even moreso than Sherwood who we have at least seen manage.
