Lambert's replacement

[silhillvilla]

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

Would love Capello.
We couldn't keep him out of B6 when he was England boss

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.

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?

Something to do with suing West Ham successfully for 2.5m for unfair dismissal. Chairmen have run a mile since.

he was coaching at Fulham not so long ago

He did 2 months there and couldn't have made that much of an impact as he was sacked when Felix Mcgraph went. 6 years at least since he managed?

How many applications with pdf attachments has Tom received in his inbox? I'm worried that some top names have put their name forward but he's still mass-deleting his emails from all our missives compelling him to sack Lambert. Now we may see someone great slip through our hands. Lambert's karma will win out!

Not my favourite idea for the job, but given the choice of Curbishley, Hoddle or Sherwood, I would give him fair consideration.

He was director of football. And Fulham tried to get him back to help Symonds but could not agree terms with him.

I wouldn't want any of those for entirely different reasons.

his success is a different matter, you said he'd been out of the game for a long time, which he hasnt

[silhillvilla]

Curbishley would be a backwards step. He's too out of touch now , he doesn't even get TV work

[pauliewalnuts]

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

Christ on a bike

Two things to remember here.

1. Those odds don't reflect what the bookies think will happen, they are reflecting what the British betting public think will happen. There's a huge difference.

2. The amount of money punted on a market as small as "next Aston Villa manager" is tiny, and a result of that, it takes very small amounts of money to bring a manager's price in.

He has. Alisher Usmanov paid them all because he thought it was making Russia look bad.

How on earth do you know how in touch Curbishley keeps with football?

Tell me when he last managed a PL club.
