Pinch of salt required but been sent the following from a contact who slightly ITK.

- Villa have ALWAYS been planning on using the FULL international break to go through this process. Most players away until next Thursday so not seen as pressing due to that. More focussed on getting the right decision.

- Process is two phase based on initial shortlist.

- 6 people on shortlist

- Stage 2 is filtering it down to a final 3

- The 6 are - Henry, Rodgers, Smith, Faria, Terry and another that he doesn’t know

- As it stands as today NO decision has been made on a favourite. They are basically tapping up the employed ones to see if they are keen before making an official approach.

-Henry has not informed us if he wants to move to stage 2 or not as yet and is undecided.

- Some of the candidates have been more receptive of being in a ‘process’ than others

-  DONT expect a decision this week

On holiday then, as you can't tell me that rabble that plays at Villa Park are internationals!  :o

Classic vague itk nonsense talk.
6 names yet only 5 names mention as they are 'known' and speculated by everyone .

It's going to be that Faria and JT combo I can smell it .

Henry isn't seemingly receptive as he's in Belguim coaching world class players .

The talk of Roberto Martinez was laughable.

Be interested to know who the supposed 6 name is.

And good to hear Rodgers at least acknowledge the villa.

Smith or Rodgers would be my preference as it stands

But I don't know if anyone really know much but thanks anyway for the slight itk only time will tell






Just passing it on. He’s not one for BS. The other name id guess (purely my own) would be Viera

I think we should forget Henry, he'll go to Monaco.

Faria and Terry is my prediction.

JT now 1/1 on SkyBet.
Who tipped Faria and JT on here a few days ago and said it should be backed!?

I'll be annoyed if it is Faria

I called that weeks ago. Wouldn't be averse to it. Surely he'd sort outr defence out. Don't think it would be thrill a minute but should be more sophisticated than Bruce's tactics

I've already had the joy sucked out of watching Villa under Bruce, the last thing I want is Mourinho's little brother.

How low can we sink? Being turned down by someone who isn't even a manager yet. Amazing really when you think about it.

Have we actually approached him? Or is this another example of the media saying someone has turned us down despite not being offered the job?
