What quotes are you looking for? Journalists occasionally get inside information.
Christ the only quotes we get from the Villa are Jack Grealish's favourite colour and Micah Richards' favourite meal and bucket loads of other PR crap.

I think it's just guesswork . And I think Rodgers would run a mile.

Tim Sherwood is fighting to save his job and ready to get ruthless with Aston Villa's summer signings as he prepares for potentially pivotal matches against Chelsea and Swansea City.
Less than five months after leading the club to the FA Cup final, Sherwood has lost six of the last seven Premier League games and is under mounting pressure to convince the club's hierarchy he can mastermind a revival in form.

Sherwood met with chief executive Tom Fox on Tuesday at the club’s training ground to discuss recent results and the Villa board have argued the squad should be doing better after such a substantial overhaul of 12 new players arriving in the summer.
But despite such a drastic reshaping of the squad, Villa appear on course for another relegation battle and the manager is understood to be growing increasingly concerned that some of those signings lack the qualities for English football.
Villa only escaped the drop last season by three points and then sold key players Christian Benteke and Fabian Delph, spending just £7million net to strengthen the squad.

Sherwood was keen to recruit proven Premier League players, including Esteban Cambiasso and Aaron Lennon, yet the club went for youngsters from overseas with sell-on potential in a strategy spearheaded by head of recruitment Paddy Reilly and newly appointed sporting director Hendrik Almstadt.
But the 46-year-old is now prepared to take many of those new recruits out of the firing line in a desperate bid to save his job.
Villa will face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next weekend, followed by what already looks a crucial home game against Swansea, and Sherwood is set to drastically shake up his squad with the likes of Jack Grealish, Carles Gil and even Charles N’Zogbia poised for recalls.

N'Zogbia, 29, infuriated Villa fans last week with a tweet about his earnings but will be in contention for a starting place when he returns to full fitness. He has not played since the 4-0 defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup Final at Wembley.
Adama Traore, the £7million summer signing from Barcelona, could also be involved after impressing in two behind-closed-doors friendlies this week.
Sherwood also faces former club Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City in the next four weeks and is determined to return to the attacking principles that enabled Villa to survive last season.
He said: “I like to try to win enough games rather than going out there not to be beaten.

“I’ve done that a few times and you end up getting beaten anyway so I’d rather go to win, but I need to find a team of players who can go to places like Stamford Bridge and not be scared, put up a fight and be brave on the pitch.
“The games are ticking off and we need to start winning. Now I have to find the ingredients and put them on the pitch at the right time against the right opposition and try to get a spark.”
Villa’s 1-0 home defeat to Stoke City last Saturday left them third bottom and already four points behind 17th placed West Bromwich Albion.

N'Zogbia, bloody hell. Well, if the Telegraph are carrying it that's a bit more reliable.

did someone off here write that
it wouldn't surprise me

I think we'll find out if it's true soon enough as I can easily see us losing the next two games.

[silhillvilla]

Telegraph are spot on highlighting the pathetic net spend figure.

[SoccerHQ]

As bad as Chelsea are we won't be getting anything there.

Comes down to the Swansea game then. Another dismal 0-1 home defeat and VP will be toxic.

Swansea are a good team but they've been poor away from home, drew at Sunderland, lost at Watford and 4-1 at Southampton.

Still we are a charity for away teams playing at home so certainly a tipping point game.

the end is nigh

[silhillvilla]

Swansea last season at B6 I thought were arguably one of the best footballing sides I'd seen that season. Not sure if they're on the same level this season so a chance for us if we have a full strength team to pick from and they are all played in position.

We are with the way we set-up, the tactics we use and that at a time when we need to bed in 13 players by playing a settled side, we don't.

Yes they were very good, should've been a couple up at half time and then nicked it right at the end. They certainly like our wide open pitch.

The media can smell blood.
No quotes anywhere, but this is how it starts.

There was an article the other day saying that with the Sunderland job resolved, Mourinho looking like he's staying for now that Sherwood would be the next media target. Looks like that's started.
