Next Villa manager

[Ian.]

Or Barry Fry.

Why not? What's wrong with him?

[Toronto Villa]

Christ the BBC are still dumping Pat Murphy on us? Havent we suffered enough?

He got a lot of things right in the summer regarding the takeover and transfers. He's the midlands correspondent. Why would he not be reporting on us?

As for the candidates all of that makes sense. And Clarke makes sense from the standpoint that is at the club. Doesn't mean for one second that he is a favourite for the position.

From Pat Murphy

At this stage the following are not under consideration for the @AVFCOfficial job... Allardyce,Pearson,McClaren,Giggs,Cotterill & Sherwood.

Excellent news.

Haven't ruled out Lambert or McLeish though. Worried now.

Strictly speaking he hasn't technically ruled out Elvis Presley or Queen Elizabeth I either.

My guess is we'll stick it out with Clarke for a few weeks until Moyes gets sacked at Sunderland then Wyness and Round will call their old Everton mate to take the Villa job.

Oh I hope not. There was once a time I'd have taken Moyes but after his latest jobs and the avoidance of our job, twice now, has left me feeling he's a bit meh.

Can't stand the fucker.  Keep him away. No idea why anyone wants hime.

Final tweet from Pat

That's all from me tonight,folks, on the @AVFCOfficial speculation. Plenty of days ahead for more of the same. Won't be finalised this week.

With all due respect to your opinion, Pat Murphy has reported on us for years and is a well respected reporter who I like a lot. Despite his obvious annoyance at being pretty much cut out of the loop by Lerner (along with everyone else) I have found him respectful and informative since Dr X took over. But hey, it is all about opinions.

Ollie not ruled out and Trollope now available. Bristol Rovers reunion at Villa?

Chuck in Cotterill and you've got the yokel dream team.

Respect dutifully returned. I cant stand the bloke. But I recognise I am currently in the minority.

At least we have a million strikers on our books...Bruce has a terrible record at buying them if you look at his transfer deals in the last 10 years.

didnt he buy and later sell Gyan and Bent for huge money at Sunderland.

Henderson too left around then.

Replacing them with the likes of Wickham and Gardner wasnt going to end well but in hindsight sacking him for MON was madness.

I can't stand him, but respect him as a credible reporter, so I've got a foot in both camps.

Who are all these people apparently voting for Tim to return? There is a poll I have just seen via a Matt Kendrick tweet in the Mail. Tim has over 60% of the vote to return. Really?

They would mostly be fans of our 'rivals' I would guess, given the rag.

Heimir Hallgrimsson and Lars Lagerback.

Sorted!

Oh you and your infatuation with nordic names

Of course, Olaf

Look what they did for Iceland, though!

I thought exactly that today . I'm that disappointed and confused at mo, and don't know enough about our current board but Wyness , around and Little will have more of a say than Dr, but of course  will advise. Football hierarchy tend to go back to their roots or past hence Moyes thoughts, but not sure we can wait.
I believed, at the time, in our previous board and football nonce but that didn't last.... Only a couple of months into new regime and its cocked again ......Steve Clarke may as well stay having been part of what's been put in place so far

Name names!

I guess so. What a truly awful website it is too. Shocking.
