Ogs hasn't turned us down u fickle fans as usual keep the faith he's covering his a**** with his club he wants the job u can see that his team aren't happy he's came for talks is love him at villa park attacking football and attracting man u players the future will be great with him as manager would rather have him than lambert or Martinez he's proved that in his first season at molde fact Leighton damms Birmingham watch this space ogs ;)))

And what a great opertunity for him to show the world what he can do as a manager in the worlds best football league, he's been given the stage to perform, and frankly his Knowledge of the premier league is far greater than Martinez and Lambert put together. Fact is he has a very full pedigree,

Well then can you explain the widely reported comment of ' Im not looking for a new job' says OGS

As for the 'I'm not looking for a new job' comment, OGS said he was flattered that a 'big club' like Villa would ask to speak to him about becoming its manager. He said his dream's to manage a PL team but he hadn't expected offers quite so early in his managerial career. His comment has been taken out of context and lots appears to have been lost in translation. He meant he hadn't gone seeking the job, that Lerner or Faulkner or whoever had approached him.

The reports that sly spurts and b8c etc said he didnt want the job were all wrong due to translation he actually said its down to us now if he joins

OGS also stated he had informal talks with Villa as he felt flattered by the interest of Villa being a BIG club in the prem and has ambitions of being a prem manager.
He said nothing has been offered and he's not looking for a new job and is happy to honour his contract with Molde but if Villa offer him the job he'll then decide on his future

So, OSG turns us down? dear oh dear! I wonder why?

We have not a bean to build a team, we don't have any ambition to compete Lerner just wants the mega bucks that comes with being in the premiership.

I am going to throw up............ My beloved Aston Villa are about to do an even worst impression of Dirty Leeds: sink into oblivion

Thats not true.
Lerner said his decision isn't made up yet!

Seems odd that within a space of a year, 2 young up and coming managers have had an opportunity to manage at a much bigger club, yet after talking with Lerner, have decided to stay where they are. It makes you wonder what he has been saying to them about the constraints they would have to work within. I fear the worst for us as a club unless we are taking over by someone with real financial muscle

OGS says he'll honour his contract for the remaining 2 years

Hey here's one what about Roy Keane he'd be good with the backing of lerner and he'd command the players to

Looks like you lot above have jumped the gun have you ever heard the saying don't believe everything the media say its come out that the media have got it wrong (no surprise) and that he's waiting to hear off villa for a second meeting if they want a second meeting with him support the club not slag the club off!!

Think a little before you turn on the club

Being concerned about your club and expressing it is a whole different thing to turning on your club

It's poyet & lambert who will be interviewed by villa next week. Martinez has not been approached. It will be OGS, poyet or lambert leading the lion into battle next season.

Norwich have denied villa permission to talk to Lambert, Norwich have been thrown into turmoil over Holt's transfer request which has been turned down he still has 2 years to run, Lambert only signed a new improved contract last summer, think we will have to look elsewhere, They will slap an enormouse great fee on Lambert and we know Lerner don't like handing out money for anything, lets face it our next manager will come from the ranks of the unemployed

A depressing rumor going about that Solskjaer may turn down the villa post to manage Wigan (as Martinez is inevitably going to leave) apparently Wigan would be his preferred destination being so close to Manchester, expect this rumor to pick up more tomorrow.

Have heard this myself, if he actually wants to work under Dave Whelen then good luck to him! - we can do better, Paul Lambert step on up!!

Wigan an't bigger enough for him don;t worry he is as good as signed up

Reports in Wigan say Martinez has been given the support from the Wigan board and will be at Villa next week, don't shoot me I'm only passing on information recieved from a Wigan friend of mine, Onwards and upwards here we go
