Henry was rumoured in the summer, he's turned down Bordeaux and I suspect has been lined up for a while. Terry is clearly a fairly recent addition to the thought of a job as he nearly ended up playing for Spartak.

If the thing about the owners and CEO wanting different people is true, then that could be an interesting one.

Rodgers spoke very encouragingly about the job this morning. Described the Villa as one of top clubs in the country and a job that anyone would want to do he said.
And also categorically ruled himself out. Obviously never say never but it seems emphatic to me.

I hadn't seen that one, he dodged the question on the one I saw (sky I guess).  Oh well, never say never if he's offered it I think he may be tempted.

You would rule yourself out then?  "yes" seems pretty emphatic to me too!

Rodgers said exactly what he should say. Showed complete respect for his club, made sure his words couldnt be picked to pieces, showed respect and admiration for Villa and ensured that whatever the outcome, he didnt need to commit to anything at this time by rendering the conversation null and void by virtue of the fact he hasnt been approached (officially) A media masterclass which will mean nothing if, as has been reported, he gets an official approach today.

I seem to recall Ron Atkinson saying something similar about potentially taking the Villa job.

The Terry retirement seems to have caught everyone by surprise, a week or so ago we were gutted to see he was having a medical with Spartak, a few days later he's not going then a week later he's retired from playing. All seems a bit contrived to me.
