I wonder which of Stephen Fletcher or Kevin Doyle MON will sign at Sunderland I would be utterly gobsmacked if it wasn't one of those two or Heskey.

I dunno. Being positive, it shows they're putting some thought into it.

I reckon that's a "we're going for a young manager" message. Which means the likes of Martinez, Lambert, Rodgers etc. To me, makes perfect sense - both for Liverpool and Villa to look there. To your average Liverpool fan, who still thinks they've got the stature they had in the 1980s, that's disgraceful.

This is good http://twitter.com/#!/rawk_meltdown nonsense from RAWK in meltdown posted there.

Which prob means Solksjaer, but knowing Lerner's ability to fuck up appointments, he's probably going to see Egil Olsen.

Villa are only looking at young, up and coming managers who will try to build something. There was some insanity about Mick McCarthy yesterday, I saw. Nonsense. They've also ruled out (in local paper) a DoF appointment, so that's the Avram Grant nonsense sorted. Bloke on VillaTalk works in aviation, every time we've had a managerial change, he's kept people informed as to where Lerner is. When we appointed Houllier, Lerner went to see him at his house in Corsica, he told us he'd flown there. Last time it was McLeish at his holiday place in Sardinia (meaning, somewhat amazingly, we flew across Europe to interview him, AND gave him the fucking job AND paid compensation to get him - amazing), he told us Lerner had flown there. Anyway, this afternoon, he's flying to Norway.

If they approached him, I'd have money on him going. Seriously.

Quality. I did like this on RTG

But he's a Sunderland supporter marra. Ha ha Seriously, though, MON is a MON supporter first and foremost, as we discovered. He wouldn't give them a second thought. I'd love him to go there. It'd be too funny.

Incidentally, MON was gutted not to get approached by Liverpool when he was still with us, the time they appointed Hodgson. This was let slip by one of our players on Twitter. if they approached him, he'd definitely take it.

He's fucking obsessed with him.

Ollver Holt is so up MON's arse it is unbelievable. The shit he gave us after MON shat on us was incredible.

Yep. Also, we were against Big Eck and loo ...... oh

I reckon that's the only way out for FSG.

Sky Bet have Nick Griffin as favourite for the Liverpool job.

The problem with Liverpool is they're flirted far too closely with entirely losing their status of late. They're fallen out of the top four, and it's very hard to see how they can get back into it. It is still a big job, but whereas a few years ago, you'd think maybe managers of the calibre of Mourinho or Guardiola would go there, they're now a club is sliding away from its position of prosperity, and the only way to get it back is to spend a huge amount of cash. As they're hamstrung with the small stadium, and have just outlaid a load of cash on a raft of shite players, it's not difficult to see there isn't going to be much huge cash to spend there. FSG are not going to pour money into the club Man City style.

Nice that, but surely it's going to be completely fucking pointless? It may be a fake, but the least believable thing about that being next season's Arsenal kit is RVP wearing it.

David Conn ‏ @david_conn So Kenny Dalglish has gone and as of now, Fenway's Liverpool have no manager, director of football, head of press, or new stadium plan #lfc

What a pity, i was loving Dalglish's slow destruction of Liverpool.

Stewart Downing (no assists, no goals) and Andy (massive failure) Carroll in the England squad. Remarkable.

CEO was on radio last night talking about the way forward. Everything he said points towards a younger manager, which suits me. Big Ron is nuts these days. I don't give a shit about anything people say about McFuck now. He's gone. Halle-fucking-llujah. Yo u can't imagine how depressing it is with a man like that overseeing things. re the person who asked about renewing season ticket. Probably not. I renewed last summer before McFuck came in, and missed loads of games (as, frankly, it was just too depressing to witness). This summer, I can't see myself finding the spare 600 quid, so probably not. Times is hard, Mrs made redundant, my situation not looking to bright either.

Collymore has quite clearly not got a fucking clue. The last former manager Villa fans would want back after a season of McLeish football would be Gregory, who fell back on football not much better far too often as well. I think Collymore was taking the piss you divvies I bet he wasn't.

I know I've said this before, but I am no modern football "OMG SACK HIM I WANT THE LEAGUE TITLE NOW 11!!!111!!!" type, and I'm not one for massive exaggeration, but I went to my first Villa match in 1973. and have been a season ticket holder for most of the time since then, and done the whole home and away all the time thing, too. I can recall plenty of shit Villa sides. 1986-7, our last relegation, was a dreadful side with a truly shit manager who didn't care. That was a terrible year. However, I can't really recall a single season since 1973 when we looked so anti football, so spineless, and so utterly free of ambition, compared to this season just finished. And that is why there is such unanimity amongst our fans on this bloke getting the chop, and is why i am so very, very happy again now. And on that bombshell, I am off to drink several pints of lovely beer and smile a lot.

I reckon he was on big, big money, plus this is the last decent deal of his career (he's 31). i don't want him to go to Sunderland, as he'll end up playing RB all the time again, and he's miles better as a CB. I wonder if Craig Gardener gets dumped at RB all the time at Sunderland like he did for us for a season. I bet he was gutted to see pubehead rock up there.
