I'm sticking a fiver on Southgate tonight.

Stop moving the market with such ostentatious sums!

[Villa in Denmark]

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have arrived at Ground Zero...all change here please

I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with him doing the job part-time while he campaigns against a mansion tax.:-P

According to Sunderland chums, Poyet may be on the verge of walking. If not now, in summer. Fed up with underperforming overpaid squad and unfortunately thinks Sunderland fans are living in the past.

What past?

Curbishley has come in odds wise a lot today. Is he a possible Allardyce type safe pair of hands?

Where were West Ham when he left?

If Sherwood is a serious contender then good old Curbs must be.

Shudders.

isn't it the law though that Curbishley is linked to every manager job ever? Any man that cannot pronounce the city where he'll be working should be automatically eliminated from contention.

A Wolves fan told me that we should steer clear of Hoddle because he played Carlton Cole as a winger.
As good a reason as any I suppose.

Kept West Ham up with a great end of season run in 2007. Top ten finish the year after and he left only a few weeks into 2009 after the board sold players behind his back. Granted one of those was Anton Ferdinand to Roy Keane's Sunderland for a crazy 8m. Think that was the time West Ham were in serious trouble financially with the Icelandic banks going under, plus Curbs spunking money on the likes of Kieron Dyer hardly helped.

If we are desperate for a safe pair of hands, could do worse than him.

I wouldnt mind Curbishley for the run in. I would imagine he would be pretty decent in the DOF role afterwards and help us pick the right long term replacement.

Speaking with @talkSPORTDrive Gareth Southgate has joined the list of those saying he doesn't want the Aston Villa managers job.

[KRS]

What is the media obsession with getting Hoddle back into management and linking him with the Villa job? Are they sick of him being a part-time TV pundit and want to take the piss when he fails in another managers job...or do they know something we don't? I don't get how or why anyone can come to the conclusion that Hoddle is perfect for the Villa job.

which he didn't because he wants to concentrate on what he is doing, but it sounds better that he has essentially turned us down.

He is so long out of the game you would be better off asking Ron Saunders to give it a go.
Why do you think Curbishley never gets appointed after years of being in the running?

[clash city rocker]

Not sure if Fabio Capello has received all his due wages from the Russian F.A....Think he could do a job for us.

[silhillvilla]

Bet365 have Sherwood as a very clear favourite 4/11
Then hoddle 6/1
