I hope your right!!
But would you put it past randy?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed003's Note - they didn't,they were discussing Neville and hypothetically used villa as part of the chat about his future.}

31 Mar 2016 20:05:15
God I hope your right ed!
Switched on in the Murray show, and obviously miss heard!!

I'll stop kicking the dog now then.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed003's Note - haha,you can chill flackie.}

Now I've stopped, think she'll start dinner?! 😳

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed003's Note - yes !! }

31 Mar 2016 20:21:00
Eds spot on.
To be honest I think there are only two names that are in it, 1. Moyes, 2.Pearson. any name could pop up from the rest.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Mar 2016 23:01:26
Why? Why would there be any reason to go for Neville?
Some rumours are just dumb.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Mar 2016 23:25:51
Agreed.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Mar 2016 23:37:30
Why go for garde?

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Apr 2016 14:31:16
He at least did a good job at Lyon, Neville is yet to do anything positive as a manager. I do get your point though.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Apr 2016 15:11:18
I hope your right mate!
I just wouldn't be shocked by anything our yank of an owner would do!!

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Mar 2016 18:04:42
I'm I being cynical, or seeing something that isn't there.
But anyone else find it strange that traore and grealish are suddenly match fit?!

Believable1 Unbelievable0

31 Mar 2016 20:20:55
I agree
I expect the players will have an extra yard of pace on Saturday
Maybe from all accounts Remi looked the calm, suave and dignified Frenchman but he possibily could have been as stubern as a mule
If your face didn't fit la guillotine for you
Not excusing the players as they are 90% to blame as they are professionals and they haven't even gone though the motions this season
but we all said there was no motivation from Remi
And after Liverpool he looked like a rabbit in the headlights
The players must pick up on this
With fox and Riley the people who employed Remi
And Learner no where to be seen who would they voice there concerns to?
No way an excuse for the players but with 2 fit again within a day of the sacking it makes you wonder.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Mar 2016 20:49:37
Latest name put forward in the press i kid you not is simon grayson! it might as well be larry grayson, get moyes in, promote cowans or mcdonald and if sunderland are sold this summer and eric black remains in charge till the summer, big bad sam is coming to get yea, that's the shout from them their board members, good or bad i'm beyond believing, just not gary monk or bovver boy pearson, let it end soon!

Remi garde has now left the club officially, now the fun begins! don't count out sam allardyce latest name in frame.

Believable0 Unbelievable8

29 Mar 2016 22:28:10
Shoulda been Alladyce before Remi, my money's on Pearson though, at least he won't take any mess off of our 'superstars'

UTV.

Agree2 Disagree4

30 Mar 2016 12:24:44
Pearson has done nothing in my opinion apart from the fact he takes no mess we need experience.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Mar 2016 17:39:52
Bit harsh mate pearson put the foundations down for Leicester to get promotion.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he also wanted to sell Vardy in the summer, before he was sacked.}

29 Mar 2016 21:25:34
Finally remi Garde gone I for one am thrilled Nigel Pearson will be the manager 3 year deal wait and see!

I am going to buy a ostrich hat.

Agree2 Disagree1

29 Mar 2016 22:46:51
Regarding the sam allardyce rumour, the word from those "in the know-blah blah"if ellis can sell sunderland club sam doesn't fancy hanging about, waiting to see if the new owner wants their"own"man in charge, hence he might be willing to move again, how true i don't know, but this another one for the merry-go-round of rumours!

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Mar 2016 15:10:46
Looking at the future ( mainly because we don't have a present) who does everyone want Villa to sign in the summer? I can't say, because I think whoever we sign is better than the drivel we have at the moment.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

29 Mar 2016 16:55:40
Who would u keep/ who do you think realistically would stay? Keep: Clark, Baker, Amavi, Okore, Gardner, Grealish, Westwood, Gestede. They are good enough for The Championship, blood some kids, then wheel and deal, we need a spine of experienced players &/ or with something to prove

UTV.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Mar 2016 18:41:47
Grellish must go he has done nothing at all and believes his own hype he may be a decent championship player but needs to change attitude Westwood is awfull so are Clarke and baker.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Mar 2016 19:21:31
Westwood is Championship standard and we're going there, including him makes sense to me, same with the other players I listed? Anyone who is good will only drop down from the Prem for a payday, we're not as an attractive club as we should be, need to be realistic about it. One player I'd go for is Charlie Adam, experience, got a goal in him, would be his last big move, be a good fit for Villa, if you think we can do better you're kidding yourself

UTV.

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Mar 2016 21:40:22
Garde has been sacked. Good luck to him and hopefully he won't get shafted at his next club.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Mar 2016 22:37:05
Westwood is league 1 just about. Gardner, Grealish, Clark, Amavi, that's it for me.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Mar 2016 14:32:13
Morning press say that Dyche is on the list.
Now is that 10 or 12 managers that we want or have we already been turned down?
Much of what is going on is similar to what went on with previous managers but they still failed.
Providing Hollis is changing everything at the club then surely we will end up with a good progressive manager that will blend in with the "new" regime and it will probably be a name that will surprise us all.
However we still have Garde and he will not be walking away!

Believable1 Unbelievable0

28 Mar 2016 17:49:02
Remi garde won't walk but I expect a compromise go be reached this week, let's be honest remi just hasn't got the experience or know how to get us out of the championship, I still reckon it will be pearson.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Mar 2016 19:32:10
What puzzles me is that if there's talks going on to let garde go early why is garde still taking training surely it would be the interim manager taking training aston villa never do things the easy way, they surely know if garde is to go they have to pay him his compensation. He's not going to resign and lose his pay off so villa will have to pay it anyway,

Agree1 Disagree0

27 Mar 2016 20:45:59
The more you read, about what Fox, Reilly and co have done to Remi, the more you feel sorry for him. To tell him that players he wanted, didn't want to come to the Villa, only for Remi to find out later that they haddent even been asked . This is a total disrespect, for him as a manager and a man. It also appears that money was being paid to people, who didn't even do the job anymore . Mr Hollis, it appears is as disgusted with what has been going on as us. I must admit I wasent very impressed when he first came, but give it to him he appears to be doing the job . Going back to Remi, I can only say most Villa fans will be disgusted the anybody could be treated this way by a great club like Villa. let's hope that this the end of all the bad news, Onward and upward is what we all need now, this is our new beginning . This time let's hope we now have the people in place to get it right . Villa for ever.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

28 Mar 2016 07:33:37
agree with all you have said and don't forget that had remi got his choice of players maybe we would still be in the prem who knows but alas dear yorath we have been shafted by everyone including players so as you say onwards and upwards hoping the new appointment don't drag on too long. I'll be putting a 10 spot on villa to win the championship. VTID.

29 Mar 2016 22:08:34
Has Mourinho 100% signed a contract at United? We should try and poach him if not.

Reading Gary monk to be considered give us a break he ruined swansea.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

25 Mar 2016 18:36:26
I don't think we will give it to monk, I reckon it's between Pearson moyes and Bruce they seem the most experienced.

Agree1 Disagree0

24 mar 2016 01:55:36
so i have been told the players have been given a long weekend off that's the ones who are not on internationals due to the villa board discussing with garde a contract termination garde has been told that he will be leaving villa there just discussing a pay 1 thing is for sure he will be gone by monday morning! villa will be naming nigel pearson manager i know we would all like moyes but pearson is the 1 an its a three year deal! i would like to go on record saying thanx to remi garde but defo not a fit for aston villa!

Believable7 Unbelievable3

24 Mar 2016 08:30:00
Another piece of information taken from the Mail. Mike you said he'd be gone by Wednesday but nope you was wrong you said Bruce would be manager but yet again you was wrong please tell us something we all don't know not being funny or sarcastic just stating FACTS UTV.

Agree5 Disagree1

24 Mar 2016 11:01:42
I didn't say bruce would get the job i said he would like the job! And garde would of been gone but he's playing hard ball over compo so villa went away to discuss it further garde will be gone and iam telling you nigel pearson is the 1 not david moyes that will be taking over villa! as for newspaper report i don't read them because they right anythink to sell papers if sometimes they say same thing it just proves iam right! somethink you don't know well they will be so many redunces at villa its crazy they hav already sacked a Mashua as he was giving freebies on the clubs time to friends there is about 4 people to every job and holis walked round caught a lot of people standing around joking instead of working and brian little had ago at a youth player for been on he's phone few days ago! i don't claim to know everythink just bits what i hear off a friend with in the club!

Agree3 Disagree3

24 Mar 2016 16:15:18
All bull nothing has come of anything you say moyes is all but done deal.

Agree1 Disagree3

25 Mar 2016 08:18:22
I really doubt that Moyes has been contacted, let alone agreed, to take the poison chalice that the role of manager of AVFC has become.
This would mean that another loss of a couple of million pounds would disappear from Lerners purse and that is what Hollis is charged with avoiding.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Mar 2016 01:27:55
Just been told we're in for raul mirieles from fernabache (ex chelski and Liverpool, i hope this isn't true, apparently he's had more injuries than darren anderton, just what we need, another sick note to keep gabby company!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Mar 2016 23:07:36
Just heard Moyes is waiting for our call. He has said only would he drop to the championship for Aston Villa a club of our stature to rescue us! DO IT NOW BOARD get our man!

Believable3 Unbelievable0

23 Mar 2016 23:40:35
Agreed he'd be the best man for us if he wants to come then that's good the board should now act and get him he did brilliant at Preston and Everton didn't get fair crack at utd he knows what players would be needed to get us back. Get rid of most the rubbish Guzan lescott nzogbia Westwood agbonlahor veretout.

24 Mar 2016 01:01:24
Mate he's been useless from day one just happy to keep taking the money like a lot of other mercenaries at the club they got garde the sack as they just didn't care about our club as far as I'm concerned get rid of them all but there again who buys rubbish.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Mar 2016 01:14:33
You sir are bang on, and what makes it worse, i understand if a player stays till the end of the season, he's entitled to some type of loyalty bonus! -you couldn't make it up if you tried-priceless!

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Mar 2016 10:09:34
These so called players have shown that aston villa means nowt to them I do feel sorry for remi garde as it's not really his fault yes I agree he picks the team he thinks to win games but when he has players like lescott strolling round the pitch like a Carthorpe, what could he do, if certain players put as much effort in as they did going onto social media sites my beloved club wouldn't be going down to the championship, so I'm not going to blame remi garde I'm going to blame the mercenaries on the pitch who just didn't care enough about our club or us season ticket holders who have had to endure their inept performances week in week out. I would like to wish remi garde the best for the future as I don't see him being here next season.

23 Mar 2016 07:26:57
Villa to sign Ross mccormack off fulham this summer. Will be one of pearsons first signings along with Heaton off burnley. You herd it here first #kingy exclusive.

Believable0 Unbelievable4

23 Mar 2016 08:06:59
Don't think it's true as Burnley are going up so Heaton won't want to leave but McCormack could happen.

Agree4 Disagree0

23 Mar 2016 09:05:34
McCormack signed a new contract a few months ago;i know that means nothing nowadays but didn't fulham turn down 12 million for him very recently, bearing in mind they'll ask at least what they paid for him (15 million) i would go with the wee ladee from oxford (sorry forgot his name again) who reminds me of a young thierry henry-now him, i'd give 10 million for (defo future england striker guaranteed), and i'd have nahki wells from huddersfield as well, see if that helps gabby cure his vertigo (absolute classic excuse-original to a tee), as for a keeper, i'd give bunn a chance, i think most clubs are going to try and make use pay well over the odds, any thoughts?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - Roofe?}

23 Mar 2016 14:39:28
Ross won't stop at Fulham if they go down to league 1 which looks a good chance. Heaton is one I've herd we want. I agree if they go up prob a no go.

Agree0 Disagree1

23 Mar 2016 18:16:10
Thanks again ed-this season is killing me one remaining brain cell, roofe is the boy's name, and he's defo got star written all over him, and what's more i think as you said before ed, released by west brom, got to be worth a punt surely?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - looks quality that lad, almost certain to move up a division at least in the summer.}

23 Mar 2016 20:45:25
There are also a cpl of lads at Walsall look decent too I'd take roofe and the Burnley keeper need a class midfielder to play alongside Gardner and a decent centre half too.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Mar 2016 21:30:06
I wish we could find someone like shaun teale;now he'd show richards and the rest of them what for.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Mar 2016 16:18:08
Just heard remi garde will not be leaving aston villa hollis and the
Board willing to give him next season in the championship to build his own team personally I think it's a mistake garde only won 2 games we would of been better sticking with Tim sherwood.

All down to money villa won't pay his compensation if they sack him.

Will be gone by this time tomorrow.

Agree1 Disagree2

22 Mar 2016 21:14:03
Hollis is aware that Lerner has paid out several million in getting rid of previous managers and is protecting him from a claim of wrongful dismissal.
Garde was promised funds in the January window but was shafted by the powers that be at the time.
Hollis is attempting to put the house in order following the shambolic efforts of the previous board of idiots.
Will Garde stay or will he walk away?
He is a proud man and will fight all the way to prove himself and given the support a manager needs he may well be right for AVFC.
Had Sherwood and Lambert had the right support they too may well have been successful!

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - good post that OV..

22 Mar 2016 21:37:21
Completely agree about lambert!

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Mar 2016 06:28:04
Sorry no have watched Remi Garde this season I agreed with most and thought he may be able to mould these misfits together
After 3 games where the new manager effect should work
It didn't
He doesn't move of the bench
No motivation no nothing if reports are correct and he never spoke to the players from Wednesday onwards to the Swansea game that is pathetic

Lambert was ok until he was pep in Germany and then stats stats and more stats became more important than points

Tim nice but dim
Clueless. He is the reason we are here
Leicester Stoke palace Swansea all dropped points de to lack of tatics.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Mar 2016 20:46:01
Garden is still here pmsl.

at the momment remi garde is still our manager he's got 2 meetings today let's see what happens.

Agree0 Disagree1

22 Mar 2016 16:19:59
Not disputing he's our manager Mike. just gauging thoughts on a rumour on a rumour site. makes a change from hearing Pearson or bruce.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Mar 2016 16:49:40
Fair shout craiggers, I have read the same paper rumour.
Not for me though to be honest mate, would prefer Moyes as I have posted many times before.
Interesting though to see how many on here would go with Coleman!

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Mar 2016 16:58:45
Wouldn't mind Coleman to be honest but would prefer moyes but I'm afraid we are sticking with remi garde so I'm hearing.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Mar 2016 17:14:07
He's done well for Wales but don't remember him setting the league on fire as a club manager. As a Northern Ireland man always remember lawrie Sanchez doing well for us and then left to go to Fulham and was a disaster.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Mar 2016 23:24:30
I'd do well for Wales with bale and Ramsey in my team, they've a decent squad too! Certainly not Coleman for me. Perplexed as to why people keep playing the blame game with our manager, the one before him and so on.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Mar 2016 02:23:20
Just seen our new board member mr. bernstein saying he's a realist and not prone to making silly projections, and then. follows it up with the thought to share that he thinks it's not beyond the realms of possibility we suffer a double relegation and end up in division 1,now we're not ninnys, we know next season is going to be a culture shock, finding our feet again (and being booted up in the air) but, show a bit of optimism, we've got to get rid of the malaise around the club, and get bernstein and the others singing from the same hym sheet, come on, utv!

In the last 20 minutes, the name of tony pulis is being put forward by a couple of bloggers'in the know' and by a certain football insider, the story goes nothing will happen till the summer but then, apparently he alledgedly arrives to take up the reins, don't know how true this is but a friend says that's the gossip at the moment;not sure if good or not though?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

22 Mar 2016 06:39:48
That would make sense- his WBA contract ends at the end of this season. However, I don't think he'll want to manage in the Championship- he can get a lot of jobs in the PL.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Mar 2016 08:48:44
Your 100% spot on, but bearing in mind he's out of pocket to the tune of 3.5 million pounds after the court case with palace, i reckon if our lords and betters were to offer him a big fat juicy bonus to get us up, it might sway him in our direction;personally i don't know if he's what we need but one journo has said (from a source on the inside of the club blah blah blah) that the name of ian holloway has been mentioned, i bleedin' well hope not, so given the choice, who would you plumb for, pulis, pearson or holloway? oh yeah, one more for the mix, my mate in holland says there are rumours (i hope untrue) that we've enquired about some albanian coach at anderlecht, i hope he's having me on otherwise i'm going back to watching my latest (yet to be released to the general public) dvd, "Charles N'Zogbia-my 20 greatest games at villa! (and don't mention me driving test-it was like i wasn't there for it! )

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Mar 2016 14:24:01
Surely if pulis was named the manager of Aston villa it would be his highest profile job to date, even if the club are in the championship.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Mar 2016 14:55:08
Bang on guvnor.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Mar 2016 16:30:49
Would welcome Pullis to Villa. He would only come if assured of opportunity to spend and build a bruteish club of no nonsense no frills football. Would give aus a great chance of bouncing straight back but most importantly would put the brakes on our free fall and a possible double relegation. As for his style of football? Well we have seen such a shower since MO'N winning a few games in anyway would be a bonus Remi Garde right man at the wrong time and good luck to him for the future. A real gentleman and sold down the river from day one! VTID.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Mar 2016 18:13:38
If we do get pulis i reckon he'd defo bring walters and whelan, what the hell, in for a penny, in for a pound, let's be having crouchy back and all, as long as hollis makes sure there's a place for our resident goal machine gabby! i can't possibly imagine us getting by without him n all!

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Mar 2016 21:11:30
as much as i wanted the man to do well and still hope he can i can't help but wonder. why does garde still have a job? i think its clear to see the man is not right for the team at this moment in time, sack him off and get someone like moyes in for at least the rest of the season if need be. pearson was my call to 4 games ago but he is not the man we need now.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Another name I've herd a few rumours about that is on a 3 manager shortlist to replace remi garde is Ian hollaway. Him Pearson and god they get worse mick Mccarthy are the 3 names villas new bored will be looking at with Pearson the main choice.

Look mate as far as iam concerned we all want the best for our football club villa isn't just a football team its a family an sometimes familys hurt which is what happening at the moment so as you know i heard rumours a week ago about bruce so i asked him and he said he would like the job but with another contact i have at aston villa i know that bruce won't be joining villa as i said pearson is the name i have been told. i don't claim to know everythink but anythink i do know i wish to share it with my villa family we all have a right to know what's happening with the club that we spend so much money an time on i will tell you 1 more thing micah richards wasnt injuryed last game there was a dispute!

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Mar 2016 23:52:49
nigel pearson to become new villa manager when garde is sacked players have already been told remi garde also know. He is leaving he's rented apartment that came with the job really good info here! shame for my pal steve bruce he really wanted the villa job but he now told me he wants eric black at hull.

Are you me in another body mate. You know a lot of people!

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Mar 2016 08:50:32
Wish i did know a lot of people i prob know 3 people in football an one is steve bruce due to family connection all he said was he would of liked the villa job. as for trying to say iam lying well i knew about garde an posted it to be mocked makes me think next time iam going to keep my info with close friends. bet you did have a bet on garde leaving before it came out i did because i knew. i will watch on but no more posts if people think iam lying i have nothink to gain. VTID UTV.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Mar 2016 09:47:59
Maybe you do know bruce but let me tell you he may have been interested in the job but villa have no interest in him. He is not a name that's even anywhere near the job only on here and the odd paper have said he the type they may want. Pearson is a cert.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Mar 2016 16:55:00
Strong rumours coming from lcfc that Pearson is lined up to take over possible before Chelsea.
Personally I hope not, just telling what I'm told from friends who are still his friends at Leicester.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

21 Mar 2016 03:27:17
You would appear sir to be correct, mike12345 also concurs, (what more proof do you need) i would've liked to see kevin mcdonald given the reins with gordon cowans alongside (brian little apparently hesitant about offering to step in) but it seems the ostrich loving, don't you worry i can take care of myself chappie is to grace us with his good self, i will say this for him (positive) ;, he seems yo be able to spot a good player or two that others don't, i can't see him putting up with the shower we've got there at the moment, so i guess it's into breach one more time, and as usual hope he can turn our fortunes around, i'm sure there's some saying about half a loaf or better the devil you know, but i'm wondering if gabby's vertigo will have gone by april so he can jet off on a well (un) deserved holiday in warmer climbs, do you know i think he might just pull it off! let's all pray that our resident goal machine is back to help us out of strife! after all, i think we all know what he is!

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he was not in charge of player recruitment at Leicester. Steve Walsh was the man who brought in the players to get them where they are. Pearson's role was to trust in Walsh's choices.}

Ahoy ed-i bow to your superior knowledge, but someone told me he would use the old managers'old boy network'where they are kind enough to nod a wink about a player who they personally can't take for whatever reason, but may be able to do a job for their 'pal', for example when sherwood wanted the dutch player cherry but we wouldn't pay gbp3.5 million for him he phoned his old mate and hey presto, he's off to qpr!, sorry ed about not clarifying that, but good to see your double lively and on the "ball" (apologies for pun) this time in the morning., i wish guzan had been that bloody lively on saturday! cheers again!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - managers do that yes, but he was not making the decisions so all he could have done is suggest them. Just look at Ranieri recently who admitted he was against the signing of Kante because of his height but he was bought anyway. Pearson would have his recommendations but it was not his final decision. Delegation is a skill though, so I would not hold thaf against him. Though I do not see any good transfer market decisions being made at Villa, so he would need to find someone to help him.}}

hi people after i brought u news that remi garde will finally be sacked in 48 hours i spoke to my good friend steve bruce and he said that he would love the villa job if he was offered it but shrugged off the birmingham city connection he said if i got them up straight away they would forget it iam not saying this because steve is a friend of the family but i think he would get us up and he still lives near birmingham i won't say how far because he won't thank me but what is your views if steve does get offered the job?

Hi all
Pearson Pullis Bruce Dyce Rogers
All names on the usual management merry-go round
Really like the shaping up of the new board
Wasn't sure what The Genral was doing back after his earlier comments about player commitment but they comments were true
Perhaps learner is keeping a closer eye than the last muppets
We really are at odds over who we want as a manager
But who would want Villa
The Bruce thing is a non starter due to the his link to Small Heath
Pullis who knows but I have friends at the Albion and they loath him
Pearson Flackie and Mendax don't fancy him he is a nutter but wouldn't take any **** from anybody and demands 110% and yes he struggled at Leicester for a couple of years but laid s foundation as he did at Southampton
Rogers jury is out
The only thing I think is nailed on is nobody will take it before the end of the season it will be K Mac and Little
Tony Parks and KMac did the cup game at Southampton
That wasn't the best
No manager will won't relegation on there CV
If they take the reins now it is certain it will be on it
Carry on the board though Reily Gabby Lescott Richardson Guzan need to be part of the Cull.

Feel sorry for Remi, but we must bring somebody in now . We need experienced manager in now, who can sort the squad out . Get rid of the moaners, the shirkers and them who think, because we are so good we don't have to even try . Some so called senior professionals should hang their heads in shame . If only some of the story's we have heard are true, they only professionals because they get paid, not because they have pro attitudes. Some of the kids, would at least bust a gut and go down fighting . We need somebody now to sort this mess out and prepare for the drop . Have said before it's a hard league and if your not ready for it, then your in even more trouble . let's get sorted and be prepared and do what our motto says . Villa for ever.

Okay, i know i'm going to get shot down in flames here more often than a german ww2 pilot but "a little birdy" at stalag villa park says that neil lennon's name is in the frame for the push next season to get back to the promised land, whether you agree with this or not, our lords and betters are impressed with his previous record and how he has coped at bolton with no money, but still being able to motivate the team (and avoiding relegation last season), how true it is i don't know, but it still persists, make of that what you will, seems his tenacity has won him admirers at board level, personally if this happens we might as well get him joey barton as his no.2 to form a brainiac dream time and be the envy of all and sundry!

Seeing as we're all but doomed, personally, i'd jettison remi garde, (brace yourselves for a wacky idea-if he's prepared to do it) why not put Mr. Little in charge, he's probably forgotten more than remi garde knows and i reckon would still do a better job! i mean its obvious our formation is more"come dancing" than trying to maintain our status, boring it may be, but go 4-4-2 and grind out a result, play counter-attack, leave gabby to sort out his (s) height issues, put the youngsters on with pace, put ayew up front, and for another crazy idea;put micah up front as a battering ram, let's face it, he ain't tearing up trees in defence, its now time to throw caution to the wind and go for it, if we go down, i want it to be not for the lack of trying, not with a wimper playing poncy crap we all know isn't working, old school rules,4-4-2 back to you, come on, utv!

Not sure who is making changes at villa park but I like it
Whether a clear out for new owners

We take several days to get into the box so how about over the top for Gesture, Kazakhstan, Ayew to run onto.
Tip tap has got us nowhere so let's attack from the back.
The Foxes are quite happy to go this route at times and they look pretty good.
A win at any cost or style is ok by me.

hi people 1st of all the stewards are a joke down the villa i belive in free speech so to see the fans an stewards wrestling over the lerner out banner is plain stupid we pay our money we are entitled to our say! 2nd point tom fox had a meeting last week with villa fans and he says lerners not going anywhere and we have just appointed a new chairman now he went on to say that villa had 2 deals in place in january an they both fell through eg gk an a striker. he goes on to say remi garde will be our manager next year. also there's a review into season ticket pricing the fans have asked for a loyalty bonus but he wouldn't say yes or no has we don't know what league we will be in. last thing what a stupid idea to suspend a walk out for 1 game your either against lerner or your not. protest or don't but canceling it made us look stupid! Brian little was at the bham game to that's the 3rd time a villa person as been at the bham game i wonder who we was after? surely not garry rowett?

Interesting chat with a chap today he could have been anybody with a story to tell to put websites like this into meltdown
Contrary to what I had been told and posted 2 weeks ago that learner was going to back the club to get it back to the premier league next season
He now wants rid of the villa at any cost
And will take a hit to do so
He was supposed to have felt this way with the Browns and lost money to get rid of the Browns
If this change of mind why didn't he sell to the Japanese consortium interested previous who have since bought Porto and threw money at the club
Might be getting my wires crossed here
Any other insite on this
On today's game
Typical villa goals to give away
Thought they gave s better show than the last couple of games
Remi isn't the man
The young kid Brown did ok
The team looked better and seemed to have more team spirit without a certain

At last football people coming to Villa, people who know you get three points for a win . People in Brian's case who know Villa inside out, in Bernsteins case he knows football and what is needed. Been hearing that Mr Fox, was also involved in stats Co that have been charging Villa £2 m for their services . How Randy was fooled into believing that Fox and his cronies where football men I just can't believe . If Newcastle can get the Spanish waiter, surely we with the proper backing could get a simular type of manager . Its all about next season now, we have to be prepared and hit the ground running when it comes. Its a hard league to get out of, if we aren't ready, it will be brown stuff hitting the fan again . Come on you Lions, let's get this right . Villa for ever.

So our fellow relegation strugglers Newcastle have appointed a manager who was in charge of Real Madrid a few months ago whiles we appointed a manager who had only ever managed one team and hadn't managed for years. The lack of hope and enthusiasm from the Villa hierarchy disgusts me. They've already given up. No new additions to the team which are needed but instead lots of additions to help them poorly handle one of the greatest clubs in England. They say they are reviewing the situation at the club, the only way it will improve is if they all leave and we get our Villa back.

I'm 99% sure they stay up. Mike Ashley might get a lot of stick of the Newcastle fans but he's done what's needed for them to stay up- paid for a lot of top draw players and appointed a world class manager. Villa have done the complete opposite- signed unknowns from France and appointed an unknown manager from France.

New day, new numpty on "the inside at chez villa" have now added another two names to the list, a blast from the past, gareth southgate, he who say about the england u19's, "these international tournaments are great to do well and advance in, but winning isn't everything", and with a yoda all seeing and knowing we could well have the next manager and his "unique"mantra ensconsed at villa park double quick lively! (for me that's a negatory though, keep teaching at st. george's field and keep away from bodymoor! ), and the next runner and rider old reg hollis supposedly thinks has the desired mettle is another man who just found himself on gardening leave from a local sports outlet for not thinking things through their way is none other than a certain mr. paul clement!, now personally i think this is a load of tosh but apparently he fits the bill of no compensation package, knows the championship (ere, don't think so, but let's run with it! ), is used to the board taking an active interest, i. e. strolling in at half time to give their tuppence worth, and is able to work as a "head coach";leaving transfer matters to the grown-ups, (seems old reg hollis has been playing football manager online again? ), so, that's the news from stalag villa park at the moment, inspiring? tiring and at the moment no firing! there will probably be another lot of new contestants for the job by next week, i'm off to dig out me old vhs copies of happier days with the likes of dalien atkinson (i never knew he had astma! ) and savo misalotovic (i know the spelling) and the cup final with little almost doing some early body popping before it was an art form! and they say never look back! aston villa aston villa aston villa that's who!

fairplay mate i was just responding to the rumours and just wondering what people thought but 1 thing is for sure whoever takes the seat at vp has there work cut out its becoming a managerial graveyard. Doug ellis owned birmingham city so did that make him a blue nose? garry rowett is a gud manager an steve has gone down yes but he's also gone up nigel pearson is a good manager to i say sack garde now and go and get somebody who we can belive in! remi garde is the worst manager to ever be at the football club reasons from 1st min to 90th min he just sits there he doesn't encourage his players offer any advice and after the game he doesn't even go in the dressing room i don't feel sorry for this guy 1 bit yes it's a bad situation but just watching him doesn't inspire me with Confidence! Our team is better than Watford norwich sunderland bournmouth! and one more point he doesn't even take training if you look at Jurgen Klopp and other managers they all take training so if this guy doesn't take training and he doesn't offer encouragement during the game what is he actually doing apart from picking the team badly? I will be there again next season because I'm Villa Till I Die but things have to change sooner rather than later as this is heartbreaking the manager lacks passion so does the team we need to work as a family Club again!

It's not a case of who we would like, more a case of who will take the poison chalice.
Unless I am confused we still have an idiot of an owner who has consistently failed to support his managers hence the current position.
Don't blame the managers as it is painfully obvious that Lerner has never kept his word about funding. Garde was sold a duff deal and believed it. Lerner pulled up the plank before Garde was even on board.
With the current position no one in their right mind is going to pay more than £100m but Lerner wants 200m.
I wonder how much it has cost to get rid of the mangers that failed because they were not supported?
Probably enough to buy a real player!

Until the last 3 games where he has played a striker
Horrible thought though
will Aston Villa be a desirable job under the present regime

I posted before that Learner is well pived at what has happened and will bank roll the club again
But
He must have promised Remi some money in the January window and went back on his word

You know what ED your completely right, It does not matter who we say/ who we would like, What manager in the world wants to work for us to be openly abused by the players because the b******* didn't get a little warmer 4 day break in the sunshine for Winning a game against a poor Norwich when in my opinion but for there poor finishing we would of lost, we was abysmal but a couple of lucky breaks, then following week rumour has it they deliberately didn't try vs LFC and trying to ruin Garde's reputation and to top it off players openly taking the p*** out of us loyal fans who pay hard earned cash every week to watch a pile of s*** via social network it's disgusting and I would fine them 3/ 4 wages for the season apart from Gana, Ayew, Sissoko, Amavi. Owner, club runners in disarray, can you buy YOUR own players, can you install your philophosy' and turn a massive club around and gain a bit of respect once again, Any manager will be brave to take job on, but let's not go back down that road again and hire any current blue thing, or ex blue thing, that's a NO, NO.

Hearing rumours from villa park and. Some published in the telegraph today
All alleged
Hollis told to do audit on club
His surprise visit to Bodymoor Heath finds 2 so called higher employees having private yoga classes on the clubs time and money

Audit on staff : 4 people to every one job
Hence the redundancies

The company who does the pro zone stats on the players at a cost of 2 million a year
Has a interesting "wyle old" director
Who has taken some abuse from the fans recently
Hollis alleged to have said "for a member of the management team to take that abuse looks very bad for the company " his position was under scrutiny in the press today
Learner is very disappointed and upset with the season and particularly the actions of 3 people
Hollis will report
Learner will act and will not be the villain we assume he is
As for Remi
Micah has come out today and spoke about him. Remi was ready to walk after the transfer window . The players knew the board knew
They have decided to ruin what could be a bright Young managers career to protect each other's backs
King and Hollis will bring this great club back in one season
Learner will bank roll it
I have the upmost respect for Remi
And wish him well and have posted in his support
But have to agree with others the job was and is to big for him

How about Nigel Pearson bought in now
1 million bonus to keep us up
Villa his next season.

The only possible person on the planet who could do a job for us next year is Pearson
It's also clear that our problems run no further than the manager. same as they did when we had Houllier, McLeish, Lambert and Sherwood
Jose struggled second time round? He won the league last year or did I imagine that
Klopp has been a little hit and miss as he is trying to change the style of play
Maybe if Liverpool sack him in a few weeks and he is available we could crawl over him to get to Pearson.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Mar 2016 00:51:22
Why would we want Pearson?
He is a mindless bully, attacks players, press and supporters, even them of his own club.
He takes his son on tour to Thailand, where the owners of the club he works for are from, and defends his son after a video of him racially abusing a prostitute in a sex video!

We want this guy to press the buttons at our club??


Living in Leicester, I can tell you, not one fan I know wishes him well, or wanted him the stay there.

Charmed going to throw a name in here. Simon Grayson.
if garde decides to leave

Anybody but that prick Pearson.

If we are going to go the "experienced Championship" manager route, surely Sean Dyche is the bloke we want?

{Ed007's Note - What about Future England manager Mark Warburton?}

Was going to suggest that name too mendax but thought someone would jump on me for just watching burnley Blackburn match! Ha.

Pay the compensation an get mick mcarthy when we go down next season, been at Ipswich a long time could be up for a change, knows The Midlands, knows all about championship, promotion and premier league and for once a manager whose decent in the transfer window (if as reported the board go an his given control)

06 Mar 2016 10:47:06
After the mess that has been created at Villa Park during the last five seasons shouldn't we be aiming a bit higher than the likes of McCarthy?

Agree4 Disagree0

06 Mar 2016 16:08:38
Aim as high as you want and watch us get stuck with McDonald next season because like it or not we aren't going to attract any of the people being mentioned, just like in the transfer window we go after these managers and we'll see rejection after rejection.

07 Mar 2016 18:13:53
Sorry must be pressing wrong button so my replies are as lost as we are
Great call Dyche or Grayson
They had escaped my radar
Not happy with the Bruce rumour
He gets there and cocks it up and it falls apart
If Hull does take our place it the premier next year
It will be interesting to see what happens as long
I was in the posh seats against Man City
Doug Ellis, Ian Taylor were to my left as looking at the pitch
As my season ticket is upper Doug Ellis I haven't seen Remi close up
I still haven't
He came to the technical area twice in 90 mins
And only clapped his hands
Him and Pelleguini have a couple of things in common
Both waiting for the season to finish and a taste for terrible brown wood effect shoes
Pathetic Remi! no nothing from you, no insperation, no guidance, no leadership
Do you know we were in exactly in the same position Christmas as we are now
9 points from safety
Norwich Newcastle Sunderland haven't won any more than us
If those overpaid lazy "look at me I am a premier league footballer " gave half a damn instead of moaning about French players or moaning about not understanding the language or cared as much as us or had professional pride we would be here
Remi you are pathetic
Guzan or Bunn Okore or Richards or lescot or Clarke or Sisoko' or Hutton
Make your mind up
Westwood Sanchez gana hill grealish bacuna
Make your mind up
Gabby you kicked him out
Now he is back over Gestede
Sinclair why bother with him

Remi walk away marcel marcel is more vocal than you
Dyche or Grayson a good call
Ian Taylor, Stan petrov director of football
But Flackie Mendex southern villa wouldn't you like to have Pearson just to kick these lazy pathetic players
A kick up the a**e they deserve
A bit of effort desire and we could be 4th from bottom.

A major newspaper has stated that Hollis is looking at Fox, Reilly and Arms. and they are fighting to keep their jobs.
Shame Lerner had not the balls to do the job himself.
Perhaps Hollis is doing the job that should have been done?
Could change my mind about him if the 3 wise monkeys go away.

This just proves my information was right surprised its gone public tho with newspapers but then again we aren't that secret a club anymore.

hi people well news for you tom fox paddy riley hendrik almstadt and remi garde will all be leaving villa in the summer garde will be by mutual consent and the others are sacked iam so happy i won't say how i know because i don't want to get any1 in trouble but i can tell you randy lerner is staying put for now and every player at the club will be forsale for just normal value its going to be one busy summer. I can tell you randy lerner is ment to be deeply upset with people he trusted let him down and will provide funds to get Aston villa back up! Keep this message and you will see everythink i said is right the players already know remi garde is leaving at the end of the season!

A news paper is saying Fox and 2 others are going at end of season.

03 Mar 2016 10:10:34
I believe you! Just don't trust Lerner.
Some one who gets to his standing in business doesn't keep making the same mistakes.
They don't allow a business to sink the way he has let us, with out it being intentional, which begs the question, why??
Is it asset stripping?
Malicious?
Is the ground, land and tng ground being sold?

I think Lerner is clever, and there is a bigger picture we are missing. Sadly I think the bigger picture is not to the benefit of us or our club.

I hope I'm wrong!

Agree2 Disagree0

03 Mar 2016 10:29:26
Hi Flackie. going to disagree with you on this one mate
I think Lerner is a clinical idiot. He made the same pigs ear of the Browns as he has with us
He inherited Daddy's money but n none of his business acumen as far as I can see
I don't think Lerner has a picture at all. He is someone who just reacts (slowly) to circumstances.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Mar 2016 10:37:39
Mendax! Hello mate, I hope your right, and to be fair, the Browns is a good example.
Perhaps I'm finding something that isn't there!
Just can't get how a businessman can't see the wood through the trees.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Mar 2016 11:32:25
Agree mendax but don't think he has still reacted to the circumstances! He does not make any sense. he told us he wants to sell the club but yet transfers our two best assets! maybe I'm wrong but surely we were a better looking prospect to sell years ago than what we are now and I appreciate both benteke and snake wanted to go but it's not like the club didn't kno!

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Mar 2016 15:42:58
Hi Flackie, it's simple mate; because he's a really, really bad business man.
Craiggers, I should have pointed out. He reacts slowly and reacts badly. So badly in fact, that it doesn't look like he's reacted at all
Frustrating as hell gents. I always thought Blues were cursed with poor owners. We've matched them with Lerner.

03 Mar 2016 18:36:58
I reckon he is a bluenose in disguise, hell bent on distroying villa.

02 Mar 2016 00:22:46
Gana, Hutton and Sissoko, the only players who put a shift in . Ayew tried but you could see was rusty and Westwood is the biggest waste of a pair of football boots iv ever seen. vertout showed once again that he has to play, on the middle more advanced. Richards our captain seems to find everything a bit of a joke . I can't work out what Bun has done wrong for us to have Yanky Doodle back . With all the ex players we have got offering to help, surely their is a defender amongst them, who could help coach our defence . While we are on about ex players, how come David Platt is the only one who's never got a good word to say about the club . If it hadn't been for Villa and super Sid, he would have still been at Crew. Villa for ever.

hi people like i said before i got it on good authority that garde will not be our manager at the end of the season there will be a clear out all over at the top. I go home and away and iam starting to see our fans come together again alan hutton loves the club even thrown he's top after the stoke game to the fans where every1 else walked off. What iam trying to say is i don't always agree with flackie but let's not argue he just offers another side to a arguement we are all villa and want the same thing but it needs a clear out from top to bottom fans players let's stand united even if we don't always agree because the one fing we all got is we want the best for ASTON VILLA!

Believable3 Unbelievable0

01 Mar 2016 23:15:06
Garde not being there at the end of season isn't really rocket science, shafted by the club after promises, like Sherwood his life has been sucked out of him by the players, Lerner and everyone associated running club has screwed us for years and majority players pick up easy pay check every week for f*** all work, I wish we could invent time travel, I would fast forward to end of season because it hurts sooo bad, thank god I had to work and not get to go tonight, what I watched in first 30 minutes OMG feel like crying, all our managers since MON have not stood a chance, and mistakes have been made aswell, Tim lost his belief, Garde has lost his belief, you can see it in them 10 games of pure pain to go, way we are going could be lower tier of football in next 3 yrs. No matter what VTID but can't wait to end this nightmare this season 😭😭😭.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Mar 2016 23:24:28
Also if 7000 Liverpool fans can walk out in protest at the hike in ticket prices and make most major news outlets and change there billionaires owners then I say we all boycott the next VP home game, empty stadium, Lerner loses match day takings, players do they really deserve an audience let's be honest I can only pick about 2/ 3 players all season have tried, will also attract bad publicity to the owners, runners of club and it shows once and for all We have had enough of being the laughing stock probably of world football, I agree all Fans stay united but UNITED in protest, what do you all say to that?

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Mar 2016 13:02:39
Look, although I do find the insults and digs quite entertaining, I don't totally disagree!
My point that I am trying to say is, I genuinely do think that garde is a good guy, an intelligent man, and his record in France proved a good coach/manager.
I think he is a man of his word, and could of walked away from this after January, as was obviously sold the job on false promises.

However... Is he the man to save villa? Probably not! Do I think it is owed to him to try, yes.
If he was able to create his own team, would we be better? Can we be worse? And is it not right for him to be given the opportunity?
As let's be honest, these players are not his, lambert and Del Boys.

But.. The argument that I have is the constant negativity, barraging and blind attacking the management structure on this site.
We are not there because of garde.

Then when things don't get better, we get the I told you so brigade, and that annoys the crap out of me!

Don't agree with me? Fine!
Think I'm full of siht? Great!

But you won't change my opinion, feelings or belief!

I don't work for villa, I have paid to follow and support this club for over 30 years, and feel, as we all do, that I have my right to give my opinion!

Any way, I am passionate, and very opinionated, and if this spills over and I have upset, and insulted any body, I do apologise, and offer an olive branch!
And if you want to hit me with this olive branch, I sit at k7 holte upper, 302.

Agree flackie. I would like to see what garde can do if he's allowed to build a team. But there lies the problem!

How many times if ever have you seen a club bring in a new manager into a then relegation threatened position and not spend a penny?

Then look at the summer signings fiasco. we signed the has been Klingon for what £2mil and crespo for £1.5mil both of whom have been s***, west brom used that money to spend £6mil on Jonny Evans! Yes I'm biased because I'm from ni but surely someone if they gave a s*** about our club and what league they wanted us in would have realised that a further £2.5mil would have bought a half decent defender?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Mar 2016 17:02:58
For me the main problem is Lerner has been miss guided by non football men and has been gullible to have it happen Lerner yes is partly to blame but so is fox and the transfer committee too who should all loose jobs Lerner needs to get football people in to help him and put funds up or what I and most would like is that he sells up.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Mar 2016 18:20:23
Lerner is the cause of the problems. Look at what he done to the Cleveland Browns! He employs the people to run the club and make those decisions for him and agin has screwed up big style.
