Alex McLeish will be sacked today.

C'mon Betfair get the market up!

I hear Neil Warnock is in the mix...

McLeish is wanted for crimes against football,chelsea girl!

Guilty as charged!

Luckily for Villa fans the season was not 2 games more!!! As that would of enabled Agent Mc to send them down.

Love to see where he goes next lol

Launched into outer space if i had my way.

did Lambert used to play for Villa?

As long as he does not go to Brentford i will be happy!! Oh i forgot we have a decent manager already so we are safe lol

No,Burton.

Breaking News: Steve Staunton spotted at Aston Villa airport within the last hour.

He has gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

sauce?

brown.

If youre reading this Randy, NO FAT WAITERS IN THE MANAGERS OFFICE

Who do Villa fans want as manager?

Gary Gardner' father-in-law.

whos that?

Craig,sorry!

Market up.

Lambert favorite.

At first glance,nailed on.Will rsvp when i get the nod...

Agent Mcleish  "gone"   

But......

Agent Lerner still runs the pantomime 

Martinez into 4/9 bet3.65

still 3.2 on ere

bluenose7 has his chairman in Hong Kong without a passport!

Keep Right On!

Alan Curbishley ??

busv:  "And" 

I am not putting anyone away until i nose.

Bluenose, guess who will replace Houghton when he leaves p.m.s.l

S.O.T.C

Wasnt Martinez number 1 choice last time ? didnt he turn them down ?

I'm keeping clear, not got a good record on manager markets

Oh no~not another VILE fan.

If C`H. goes fair play to him. 

You lot think the promblem was McJudas 

Agent Lerner & a Sh!t squad you should more be worried about. 

K`R`O. 

They'll probably appoint Heskey as player/manager Mcdermott at Reading may have a shout!

Bluenose7.

No more agents down Villa park now.

Looking at the market, Solsjaer seems to be having success right now.....maybe have him for a few years before he replaces Fergie. Dont want Fat Waiter. Lerner wont even ask Maclaren this time.

To me Rodgers, Moyes and Lambert are the front runners....all three of them able to bring success on limited funds.....with Solsjaer as an outside bet.

Moyes will be stans choice later tonight...

Did Curbs play for Villa ?

Yup

On the Villa website, already 4670 Facebook recommendation of the statement.

best news in this poor poor season the sacking of Mcliesh, very big mistake by Learner

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spotted booking a flight online from Smorgasbord to Aston Villa Airport

Moyes !!!!!!!!! not so much sideways as straight down ... no chance .

About time FFS

42 Games he was in Charge of / Only 9 wins PMSL ...Couple of those wins were against lower league opposition too in the cups

Why in the name of Jesus would Moyes leave Everton for Aston Villa

Bigger club.....

deluded middle englanders bnp loving fans,deserve what they get....

Didn't O'neill part with Villa on less than agreeable terms? I only ask as Lambert has been quoted at how he still calls O'Neill gaffer after their time at Celtic together and speaks to him regularly.

didnt realise he set so many records in his short time at villa

Songsforthedeaf.

Both teams about equal in terms of prestige i.m.o agree Villa have a weaker squad, but Learner is willing to spend if he gets the right man.

FAN POWER

Sod Moyes we'd get him if we wanted but how many trophies as he won? Not good enough for Villa. Will be Rafa or AVB, or Capello.

As long as it's not Steve Bruce, I'd take Dr Jo back, The Chuckle Brothers, Lady Ga Ga, Charles Manson or the bloody Pope over McLeish.

I would take a legs 11 pole dancer over that clown!

Done some research and Poyet at 15-20 seems like a good bet.  Appears he's one of the few names in the real mix.  Word is they want a young up and comer type.  ITK claimer says Lambert been approached.

you can forget,

mcdermott, rodgers, poyet, lambert, martinez

just cant see any of them going there...

southgate, di canio, keane, di matteo, holloway or hughton seem more likely

di matteo and holloway futures still pending of course at their current clubs

Not saying he would be my first choice, but there is logic and reason for Neil Lennon to be the next Villa manager

Because the Chairman has a fondness for people that have managed in Glasgow and are ginger and unpopular?

LENNON...

i cant see that happening...

i think you would have more chance of mccoist

Jesus,its a fishing fest!

Perhaps he was sounded out when he came down the other week to visit Stan Petrov? Where's his challenge at Celtic next season?

holloway would be amazing, as long as hes on match of the day next year i dont care what team hes with

moose, in europe...

also a fairly comfortable safety net without serious challengers for the title for the forseeable future...

as for a challenge, well i dont think they will come much bigger than villa at the moment...

think lennon would be crazy to take that on at the moment...

how about water smith and mccoist ???

I think it has been reported recently he would be open to move South for a job. I wouldn't under estimate the Petrov connection.

i think that would be a bad move for villa...

lennon would probably be as unpopular as mcleish

Villa fans must be high if they think they're gona get Paul Lambert.. He's building something at Norwich and loves it there he would only leave for a top 4 job, something in Germany or maybe celtic. Villa.. not a chance

lennon would probably be as unpopular as mcleish

I doubt that

you wouldnt be doubting for long

Phil Brown is looking to get back into management.

Villa fans are so deluded ....reality check reqd .... only decent managaer that may be interested is Martinez(maybe this time) but I doubt that Randy gives any cash to boost the squad so who in their right mind would want it? It will be like the wolves job all over again.

I hope Martizez doesn't go to Villa.   He should stay at Wigan for at least one more season.  My suggestions would be:  Mick McCarthy, Steve Staunton, Phil Brown, Steve Bruce, Alan Curbishley, Chris Hutchings or Roy Keane.

Chris Hutchings

Great call sofaking.  Just the man.  Although Les Reed could be a contender as well.

Has David O'Leary been mentioned yet

Terry Connor is also now available after being released by Wolves.

O'Dreary is the man to bring attacking free flowing football back to Villa Park for the first time since Graham Taylor

Neil Lennon We got MON when everyone thought he was the best thing since sliced bread (before he was found out) a big name can't be ruled out. Lambert has practically been bending over asking Randy to do him up the arrse he'd take the job in an instant....but Randy maybe thinking big like when he paid 20+ million for Darren Bent nobody saw that coming..

MysteryMan on VT thinks (i.e doesn't know but thinks) it maybe Lee Clarke!! MM is a proven and respected ITK

oh no not another villa fan is a cúnt of the highest order,horrible ugly príck

nobody fancy Bob Bradley...american owners  and that

Its Arena!

The mcleish to utd rumours can't be true can they

Randy Lerner (Wiki)

Randolph D. Lerner (born February 21, 1962 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American entrepreneur and sports team owner. He has been the owner of the American football team, the Cleveland Browns, of the National Football League since October 2002, and the Chairman of Aston Villa Football Club of the English Premier League since 2006. His personal fortune was estimated at USD over 1.5 billion in 2008. However, following the plummet in value of his holdings abroad, his net worth dropped to less than 20 million in 2010.

Will the manager have to SELL to BUY  ??

K`R`O. 

Birmingham City could face a fire-sale on and off the pitch if owner Carson Yeung is convicted of money-laundering.

UTV!

oh no not another villa fan is a cúnt of the highest order,horrible ugly príck


.............................................

How i ask did you know i had an ugly prick?

MON was found out?! You mean the man who single handedly kept Villa in the top 6, despite the fact the players were utter gash?

Unfortunately MON caused the current predicament IMHO. Too many poor players on high wages with high transfer fees.

Look below this hall of shame......Habib Beye on £60k a week FFS.

Didier Agathe (Celtic, Free)
Chris Sutton (Celtic, Free)
Shaun Maloney (Celtic, £1.1m)
Moustapha Salifou (FC Wil, Undisc)
Zat Knight (Fulham, £3.5m)
Marlon Harewood (West Ham, £3.5m)
Nigel Reo-Coker (West Ham £8.5m)
Wayne Routledge (Tottenham, £1.5m)
Curtis Davies (WBA, £10m)
Steve Sidwell (Chelsea £5.5m)
Nicky Shorey (Reading, £4m)
Luke Young (Middlesbrough, £5m)
Emile Heskey (Wigan £3.5m)
Fabian Delph (Leeds United £6m)
Habib Beye (£2m)

Stephen Warnock (£6m)

MON left because he demanded to keep his best players and wanted "real" money to buy top class players, so they could make that final push into the top 4... Lerner gave him a flat no. He was fed up shopping around for bargain basement players, he wanted to ake Villa to the very top, Lerner didn't want that. It's your owner you should be protesting against.

And as for McLeish, did he ever get a chance there? Did he get any money to spend? He was being boo'd n the pitch from the very beginning. Any manager worth anything would run a mile from the Villa job. No money to spend + fans who expect miracles = a nightmare job.

Even more remarkable then if he managed to get that lot into champions league contention.

And buying Zat Knight and Curtis Davies, and selling Gary Cahill borders on incompetence.

Even more remarkable then if he managed to get that lot into champions league contention

It wasnt that lot that got us into CL contention....most of them barely played a game..... it was the other £90m he spent on Ashley Young, Milner, Downing etc

Quite hilariously, Mick McCarthy is 2/1 second favourite with SlyBet.  Second face here too!  Very, very funny joke.

*fave

Its going to be Paul lambert.

Paul Lambert will definitely be first choice. If he rejects it I expect Gus Poyet to be approached.

Id settle for Poyet.

Do you think Lambert will accept?

Judging by his interviews, yes. Not entirely convinced he'll be approached though - isn't he best mates with MON? Forget Martinez.

Solskaer nailed on according to reports.
