Manager for next season

[Clampy]

I personally feel they or whoever is coming in wanted to wait until relegation was confirmed, although I know it's not going to make much difference. However if they've purposely taken their time over it rather than rushing into it, then that's fine as well. It needs to be right.

Kind of but I think the timeline is more wait for the season to finish. Going in now won't really help matters for the incoming manager. If we know who we want and he's agreed he's likely to be watching games now ahead of next season if he's not already in a job. His new coaches will give him reports of the academy players and if not in a job he may have been to a reserve game. On top of that it won't take any manager long to suss out what you have and what you need from not only training sessions but just watching us. I don't see the need to rush in.

Maybe there's already some poor sod sat somewhere watching all the dvds of our games this season. Bottle of whiskey, head in hands....

Pearson is now odds on at the bookies and Moyes 12/1 (at Corals). Moyes is odds on for the Celtic job.

Apparently Moyes is interested but not been contacted according to Pat Murphy

Someone had better get on the blower to him then.

From the BBC...

David Moyes is interested in the Aston Villa manager's job but has not yet been contacted by the club.

Nearly six months after being sacked by Real Sociedad, Moyes is keen to get back into football and is attracted by the challenge of reviving Aston Villa.

He has seen them live recently and would be receptive to talks. But he's aware doubts over next season's budget at the club could delay the process.

Nigel Pearson remains the bookies' favourite and there is also backing for Mick McCarthy,Sean Dyche and Steve Bruce - but Moyes was approached by Villa last autumn after Tim Sherwood was sacked.

Moyes was still at Real Sociedad when Villa's Head of Recruitment Paddy Riley flew over for talks. Moyes asked pointed questions about the quality of the 12 players Riley had helped bring in at a cost of £55m and the talks did not progress very far.

Villa's football board will concentrate this week on their short list of candidates after relegation was confirmed on Saturday. Moyes is certain to be on that list.

Serious point though - would Moyes given the choice between us and Newcastle choose us?

Both are hard to manage but I think Villa is a bigger challenge to get them promoted next season.

I think Sunderland and Norwich will keep hold of their managers regardless outcome.

Fucking unbelievable.  Just when you think the Boardroom are getting some credibility back.

Do people still say 'LOL'?  If so, LOL.

DM: "So, tell me about Gestede and Veretout, how are they settling in?"

PR: "Look, a squirrel!"

I'm surprised Riley is still at the club. He must have photos of someone high up at the Villa.

Maybe we're waiting for Randy to sanction our outgoing telephone call budget? Meanwhile, in an executive teepee in the Catskills...

That must count as a fetish. Deviants.

How many times is the Board going to start working on its shortlist of candidates - this is the 5th time they are going to start doing it by my reckoning.
