as Slarty pointed out, all we need now is the police to do a dawn raid on Catflap's on Saturday morning. That would be fun.

Villa's chairman is searching for a replacement. Bob Bradley has already been linked with the job after his representatives last month discussed him potentially taking the Fulham job. Hughes is one of the either names that they have listed. As well as Martin Jol, Klinsmann, and Alan Curbishley.

liverpoor must be kicking themselves. although not sure who is better, woy or MON

and paul jewell!

Is Brian Robson still available?

How about getting Dave "David" O'Leary back?

supposed to be a bit of a pisstank isn't he?

Shame Alan Ball is no longer, he could have fitted the bill at Villa.

Apparently Villa players were sending around text images of champagne bottles right after the announcement!! Seems to have been a lot of player unrest at his methods.

Listening to the Monday night club last night, the straw that broke the camels back, after a summer of Villa signing no-one, Milner's on-off move, not a right lot of cash available, was that villa were prepared to let Brad Friedal go to Fulham.

the wheels come off in spectacular fashion, it would seem. what are the odds lerner just carries out the transfers he wanted to push through and o'neill objected to?

Apparently Sven wants the Villa job.:D:D

Lol, good luck Villa.

Why the Sven bashing? With the exception of his disastrous stint in Mexico, and maybe the bizarre situation at Notts County, his track record stands up with the best coaches in the world.

I've got nothing against Sven as such, and he did turn City around. He is a whore though, and he'll go anywhere for cash.

As we all would, if the opportunity presented itself

Randy Lerner, the Aston Villa chairman, has finally broken his silence and issued a vague statement admitting that he and Martin O'Neill "no longer shared a common view as to how to move forward".

Lerner refused to go into any details about the reasons behind O'Neill's decision to resign as manager on Monday, although the Northern Irishman is known to have been uncomfortable with the financial constraints that were placed on him.

Lerner also gave no indication about the type of manager that Villa are looking for to replace O'Neill. He said that backing Kevin MacDonald, the reserve team manager who has been placed in control in a caretaker capacity, provided the "immediate focus", along with finalising James Milner's protracted transfer to Manchester City .

The American also claimed that Villa's "approach to building the club" has not changed, although it was notable that he talked about being "as competitive as possible given our size and resources".

That choice of words is likely to reflect the need for the club to operate more prudently, bringing to an end the heavy spending and huge wages that were a feature of O'Neill's reign, and raising questions about Villa's ability to challenge for a place in the top four in the future.

The full statement said: "Having had some time to reflect on Martin leaving, I can say that our most immediate focus is supporting Kevin MacDonald and resolving the situation with Manchester City and James Milner.

"As for explaining why Martin left, I can say only that we no longer shared a common view as to how to move forward. To deal in greater detail would do little but cause additional distraction for the club as it faces imminent games and the clear priority of hiring a permanent manager.

"Finally, there have been no changes in our approach to building the club, aiming always to be as competitive as possible given our size and resources."

Lerner is doing the right thing by making sure the club lives within its means. O'Neill has been given over £100m to spend in the last few seasons and is now crying like a tart because he was told Villa didn't have a bottomless pit of cash.

Lerner is right to tell him to fuck off.

Closer to £180million according to the meejharr...
Also seems to have been a lot of player unrest

Seen a curtis Davies interview on SSN and he was practically doing backflips

1045 BST: Bob Bradley has quit his job with the United States national team and is set to be named the new manager of Aston Villa.
