I've heard that Gary Megson is high on the list of candidates?

Paul Faulkner said;

"We want to find someone to reinvigorate the club,"

"We want someone to bring some vibrancy back to Villa. That's what we need and that's what we're going to get. A disaster would have been getting relegated but this was too close for comfort."


Well; Megson ticks all the right boxes-
1) Dynamic.
2) Likes to play fluent "Brazilian Style" football.
3) Available for work (no compensation to pay).
4) Lives in the area (no relocation costs).

You can forget McCarthy, Its Gary Megson just wait and see!

Most ridiculous thing I have ever heard

Yet another loser, we need a winner as the new manager not someone like, Megson, Bruce, McCarthy.

Bruce would be a decent manager he built a decent squad at sunderland and sold players on for profit
He also guided them to mid table finishes not a bad choice!!

I'd like to see Poyet or ole guna Soljsar but I'd be happy with Bruce as i know he'd be good in the transfer window and improve the squad not buying donkey's like Heskey,Beye,N'zogbia, Hutton

Sorry mate your wrong on bruce he is tactically inept,sunderland won two home games in the whole of 2011.

Bruce has no class and just makes excuses after excuses for his failings.He still moans about his safc departure even now.

We have been waiting for a left back at sunderland for 3 years now he is clueless.O,Neil will no doubt get us out of the mess we are in now.

Bruce signed some shockers last summer.

Mcleish I better than bruce and so is villa.

Yea and faulkner said he wants a young , vibrant manager! gary megson no way!

Personally I fell like we could expierence quite a few changes, obviously with the new manager coming in. So here is what I think may happen:

Out:
Heskey (His contract isn't being renewed, which some fans will be happy about but I think that he does have a role).
Beye (Already Gone so his funds may be useful).
*Makoun (Possible transfer, may even go out on loan again).
*Warnock (Possible transfer, had a poor season but the new manager may no sell him).
*Bent (Possible transfer, injured for half the season, he's 28 and cost 18-24 million would be happy to get most of the money back).

In:
Martin Olsson (3-5 million as Blackburn went down we have a chance).
Brett Holman (On a free, good bit of business hopefully, but I haven't seen much of him).
*Guthrie (Unsure about the details but it could be possible).

Who else I would like to join:
Keane (A loan would do but when he came to AV he really did do well).
Junior Hoilett (Described by many Blackburn fans as the only good thing about there season).
Keane (A loan would do but when he came to AV he really did do well).Or Yakubu did well if Bent went there would be a space for him.

Beye was released, uve mentioned keane twice and martin olsson, really?

Sorry about the Keane and the Beye incident but personally feel that Olsson and Hoilett were quite good this year. Can, you really say that Warnock had a great campaign. Lets remember that last summer we basically tried to balance the books, so I wouldn't be shocked if the same happend again. Anyway Olsson would do better at left back than Warnock!

Aston Villa are interested in Spartak Moscow’s Artem Dzyuba. The 23-year-old, 6ft 4in striker is quick and can also play on the wing.

Exellent player cant see it though

Poyet, Lambert, Houghton, Rodgers or even Hughes
For Villa's next manager

It wont be McCarthy, Benitez,Raneri or Martinez as all are mediocore managers which Villa dont want

Remember the statement a young ambitious manager who can drive the club onto challenging for european football again where we belong

Benitez,mediocore? What planet do you come from? We could only dream of having him!

I don't know where all this s**t comes from? Mick McCarthy 100% no the board will not talk to him. Steve Bruce 100% no they won't talk to him either. I love the speculation and the hype. But to many people Believe there own rubbish that's printed. So all be patient I think were in for a pleasant surprise. The board can't afford to get it wrong. Us villa fans have already voted with there feet this season and season ticket sales are well down, Lerner needs the backing of the fans and so does his accountant so here's to the right man coming in I still think AVB and Ray Wilkins would be a great shout but here's one to mull over .. Big Kev and Martin larsson just a thought AJ

i personally think martinez will be appointed or maybe lambert.the former would be my preference,a great job done with norwich,lets hope that lerner and co have learned from their last mistake and let them remember its the fans who count..............dublin villa fan this past 40 yrs

Villa are not big enough for Martinez apparently their chairman has the club at the same level as West Brom
