The amount of rubbish coming from the media is laughable. They're saying we were turned down by Roberto Martinez for the job and what's worse is the public believe it.
He wouldn't even have a meeting to give him the opportunity to turn you down

Very true...

Not high on the list I accept but ATM its proving tricky for you to get somebody... David Moyes the next target? |

I think Moyes always has been a target. Whether it happens, I doubt it.

So why did you approach him then?

It's so funny to see them acting like cry babies just because we're silent through the whole thing. They've contradicted themselves so many times that they've decided to now go all anti on us. It's absolutely pathetic. |

Awful news about Milosevic's father. Wonder what possessed his grandfather to do something like that?

Lot of talk about Simon Grayson for the Villa job this afternoon.

Do people think some of the better rated managers are being put off the job purely by the lack of any substantial transfer funds or are there other reasons?

O'Neil didn't really achieve much aside from qualifying you for Europe then spending the whole campaign trying to get knocked out of Europe. A top half finish should be pretty achievable with the squad but as long as no-one has crazy ideas of top 6 they'll be fine. Moyes quibble is he has no funds at Everton, would Villa now be any different? |

...it can't help,villa having a " sell to buy " policy and a chairman that kow tow's to the villa faithful....who must hanker for the days when deadly doug was in charge four managers in less than twelve months hardly inspires confidence |

I can't for the life of me understand why Jol, who has been available since December, was not approached thus allowing Fulham to move swiftly to bag him

I completely agree, however I believe Jol would've gone to Fulham even if we'd approached him too. He was close to becoming their boss last year, but Ajax pulled out at the last minute. I imagine that was a big factor in his decision to go to Fulham.
The latest favourite with the bookies is...Alex McLeish! I can't help but be amused.

That would be shocking if it's true and not in a good way.

Apart from the fact he's manager of your biggest rivals which should rule him out straightaway, he's not even that good a manager. Spent a load at Birmingham and got them relegated twice. Big deal.

I hope these rumours about McLeish are false as he would be a terrible choice.I did read rumours earlier online about Moyes coming to Villa and McLeish going to Everton.Now I hope that is true!

If the board appoint him they're finished. It would be really that bad.
