Gus Poyet Wanted By Aston Villa?

and Harry Redknap is going to be England manager..... oh no wait a minute. Can see Poyet going to Albion but we already have somethning, sorry someone, in the manager's position and that isn't going to change any time soon.

even if there was the remotest chance that Randy was going to make a change (and there isn't) everyone should know by now that the media will be the last to know and he certainly wouldn't make any overtures to clubs or managers before getting shot of Mcleish. Its just not his style

think you are wrong AVbornandbred, we shall see, but had an Acorns bet with a few ... if he stays I've got some donating to do! lol

think Gus would be a good option, but he is one of several very promising young managers around at the moment, though I assume he would perhaps come easier and cheaper than someone like Rodgers or Lambert and he would certainly see Villa as a step up and challenge for his next step and it would be a great job for someone

This would be good news, as some identify its not just the manager we could do with some great characters and quality in the back room staff too.

I think the good thing about the next manager is that whoever it is will be really popular by virtue of NOT being Alex Mcleish!! I'd be pretty relieved if my Gran got the nod to be honest!

Why would you believe anything written in the Forgers' Gazette?

I think the board would have to re-think it's strategies of appointment this time round. Both Rodgers and Lambert have shown that a good footballing philosophy and good management are enough to do well in the league. I thought it was ridiculous that we needed a manager with premiership experience in the first place, overlooking brilliant candidates such as Sanchez Flores. Poyet, Martinez or Lambert would be great but lets not get our hopes up. I won't be able to rest easily until idiot has gone and we appoint someone exciting.

I do hope this is true... At the moment I just feel a little bit depressed thinking of the Villa. We need some injection of life into the place to make everyone 'excited' again... Come on villa do the right thing and get in Poyet and Zola!!

Wonder what Mcloser's next Eckscuse is going to be when we lose to norwich? Bet he tries to blame leaves on the half way line!!

Like the Scots famous shirt "anyone but England". Basically I would take anyone BUT McCleish!

what about dimatteo? tim nice-but-dim will get rid of him for sure. he wouldn't know a good manager if it came and punched him in the face!!!

Poyet could not even get Brighton in the play offs. he has not proved himself in the championship yet alone the premiership he is a loud mouth who defended Suarez despite him being charged with racial abuse on Evra he lacks integrity in my eyes he would be a bad appointment

Now this is more like it!

Gus and franco live a few miles away from me would you like me to pop along and see if i can "sell the job to them"?..... Mind you Cascarino lives around there as well !!!

For all those who do not think McMuppet is leaving, have you had your call yet asking about Season Card renewals? The clubs panic from a few weeks ago has gone in to overdrive. I had a call yesterday and behind the scenes the panic has turned into absolute meltdown. It now looks like the club are looking at less than the original 4000 renewals that frightened them to death then. Please look at those figures. With McLeish in charge we are expecting less than 4000 Season Card holders. 4000!!!! Get in Poyet and Zola and that will be in excess of 20,000. Do the maths all you none believers. Sunday is McMuppets final day.

Villan444 listen all footballers give it on the pitch i been in matches in school and amateur to know the boiling points they can reach but they are limits that should not be crossed. A thorough investigation was carried the FA and the evidence was over too overwhelming against Suarez reason why he was charged. Yet no brain Poyet still decided to come out and defend. And however much i dislike Fergie for landing us Mclueless i agree when he came out in response to Poyet and called him naive and stupid to make the comments he did. But moving on to his managerial credentials he is still not good enough he is unproven. He has to show he can at least mix with the big boys in the championship by making the plays at least. The he has to prove himself with a small club in the premiership and prove his worth then maybe then you can blow his trumpet depending on how he fairs. Poyet will be another Paul Ince at blackburn, some of those lower league managers tend to be to opportunistic to use common sense. Poyet needs to prove himself in the championship to further his development.

where are we in the league? who are we to say that any manager unproven is beneath us. i for one think lambert is above us at the mo, not with norwich but he will get more attractive offers than us, martinez could choose west brom over us, it hurts to say but until we are back around mid table or higher, why would anyone above us even look at us? yes we have this fantastic history of being 'ever present' yes we have won trophies european cup (81) fa cup(57) league cup(96), yes we had a top six team (that has financially crippled us) but for the here and now we have a small squad of young players. fresh and exciting, why not get a fresh, exciting manager to come in and we can all move forward together. the foundations at villa are outstanding. we are an interesting project but not to anyone above us as we are just seen as a dying breed. the managers we beg for have no reason to leave their clubs and any manager from across water wants money. i would hapilly take a punt on poyet or clarke, 3 years ago would anyone have looked at lambert and he is the proven article. nigel adkins next season might prove just as good, holloway fantastic, brendan rodgers out arsenaled the gooners. not even newcastle fans gave pardew the time of day and now look so why dont we look to our own revelation of a manager and become great again instead of turning our noses up like the fickle football snobs we sometimes get rightly accused of being. rant over UTV VTID 19th minute
