Next manager?

[footyskillz]

New Managerwatch: fans going tomorrow will have to study the stands at for any familiar footballing faces and post on here for the rest of us ASAP.

Sounds like it could be One of the Usual Suspects, though.Perhaps Moyes, Mick & Sam will be sitting together just to confuse us all!

Keegan? Appropriate: his teams never had a defence so he'd be a good fit for us! 

Don't worry the media and sky too will have it covered announcing Teddy  Sherringham and Cascarino watching from the stands which inevitably means a join head coach manager situation

Any ex player watching at that game will be touted so we better clear up any ex players as commentators or reporters at the match otherwise Iain Dowie is at milwall could be ugly in more ways than one cabbage

Dwight Yorke. He's spouting again...

Moyes has not been contacted.

It's not Moyes. Thank God.

[Fred Crump]

It’s Moyes isn’t it.

All this talk of Moyes is scaring me! Please God, it couldn’t happen could it ? That would be the most gut wrenching kick in the balls and crushing of hope ever.

[Risso]

I'm going to stick a reaonable amount on Henry at Corals.  See if it affects the odds at all.

I've just seen Harry Redknapp leaning out of his car asking for directions to Villa Park.

[Fred Crump]

Moyes has not been contacted.

It's not Moyes. Thank God.

Where are you hearing this from Ads? Sounds like great news

I'm going to stick a reaonable amount on Henry at Corals.  See if it affects the odds at all.

Was 5/1, now 5/2!

To sum up then, don't get your knickers in a twist about bookies' odds.

Now, it had better bloody well be Thierry Henry!

He’s odds on now

Just heard from my son who has a source who works at Villa and he says it’s definitely going to be Moyes

It’s Dwight for me.  And look who’s recommending him.

Yorke said: “I know I can go in there, play good football and get them promoted. When I see Villa struggling, I want to help. People associate me with Man United but Villa is where it all started for me.

“I’ve got a burning ambition, so much belief and commitment. I’ve got a connection with the fans and surely having that rapport will give you a massive advantage.

“I’ve seen the club suffer the disappointments, the heartache and the pain. There’s been too many changes, too many wrong appointments for me to turn my back on it.

“We have to make sure Villa gets back where it belongs. It’s a great club. The whole place, the fans, everyone, needs something different, a fresh start and I feel I can give that excitement at the club.

“I’ve got a recommendation from Sir Alex. I’ve got his backing and he says that if I need his support then he’s on the end of the phone. He wouldn’t say that unless he believed I could do the job.

Hopefully this Moyes nonsense is part of a deliberate campaign of misinformation emanating from B6. Meanwhile Purslow should be straining every muscle to find a manager with flair, organisation, imagination and passion who wants to join in a hopefully glorious future.

Dwight Yorke. He's spouting again...

Does he still think the only reason he’s not getting the job is because he’s black?

[sickbeggar]

Are we allowed to start a Moyles out! thread on the day he's appointed? No fucking way i'm waiting and seeing this time. Wasted 3 seasons that way with Nan's hair

[SoccerHQ]

He didn't do that bad at West Ham but can understand why anyone would find it an incredibly boring appointment.

Steve Sidwell's on Talksport soon with his view.
