Van Basten will be a disaster, purely because history tells us he fallen out with so many established players....

Get your money on Van Basten boy's im telling ya...

The job is to early for Villas, he has no experience in buying or managing big players yet. He will b a top manager in a few years. The new manager will likely be sacked next season anyway, so may aswell wait for him till then...

Van Basten has come in to 3-1 this morning. If Hiddink turns it down I bet he will be the next manager. I am saying this as Hiddink acts as an advisor to Roman and you can bet your life he has recommended Van Basten. I personally think this would be a disaster.....

But if that's to build a team for the futur, use the academy and gradually to become independant of Abramovich's money, no. Thats what we HAVE to do, the new rules will not allow otherwise......

Used to frustrate me a bit as he never offered anything defensivley but always gave his all.... The thing that makes Poyet stand out for me is the story of when he done that prick Keane.........apparently Wise was winding keane up at half time in the tunnel when Keane went for him, Poyet them took off his boot and swung it at Keane's head as he ducked. Story goes that Keane shite himself......

No we need Drogba for this, Distin will eat Torres at the moment.....

It's pretty pointles discussion anyway because he will never be in the running for the job. Latest odds from Victor Chandler.... Redknapps odds are shortening interesting.....

Re: O Niell no-one has mentioned what he achieved at Celtic and Lecister. I know the Scottish league is crap but he won everthing every year and he made Larrson an even better player, so can manage big players. He also got Celtic to the Europa final, with the majority of the team on a very low wage where he only lost to Mourinho;s Porto..... At leciester he won the league cup and got them top 6 every year, remarkable for the players he had available. The job he did at Villa is now highlighted, got them top 6 consistantly and now they are fighting relegation with the same team plus Bent...

Disagree about Moyes and O Neill - both of those r better than Carlo in my eyes. Just because they are British does not make them poor managers...

There are also huge rumors that Avram Grant will be back as director of football. How will that be recieved by the fans??

Agree with Moyes - very underated. Martin O neill should also be mentioned but would not work with Roman. Guardiola wont take it, Hiddink don't want it, Boas is to young. You are also missing off Jose on the list, but he wont get it. If I was putting money on it I would go for Van Basten, Hiddink is in Romans ear to give him the job but I think it would be a msitake and we would be back to square one....

Sinclair is slightly different, had a loan at Wigan where he was poor. Has always done well in the championship but PL is to big a step for him. Borini on the other hand will be a hit at the top level, due to his finishing....

Can the people in the know on here, start a thread where we can vote who we would like as the next manager. Carlo is surely not gonna b the manager for long, 2 many press stories for them all to be wrong...

I just hope that this does not piss the board off and they do something stupid.....

Is that a joke?.....Kalou aint good enough to be a regular starter.....

Guys have a look at Sky Sports.com, bad noises being made by Sturridge......When the board reads this he could be on his way.....

No I like it, alot of people on here won't get it but I agree.....fits in well with the queen visiting Ireland at the moment!!!!!

Why only offered a 1 yr deal when Kakuta and Bruma got long term deals??

Love your profile pic by the way....

Realistically he would not have picked him from the start anyway. he would have a few sub apprearances to his name. Getting him out on loan was the best thing....

This situation is very frustrating. Borini has tons of talent and will be a good player, Ancellotti done the right thing by getting him out on loan where he has done the business. We do not know the ins and outs of it but it appears Borini would have been willing to stay had he been offered a suitable contract. It sounds a bit funny to me, why did they offer Kakuta and Bruma long term deals but not Borini??. I think something has gone on here that we don't know about.....

It will always be the same as long as Roman owns the club. However, where would we be without him??

He has to play Drogba for this one....Torres does not deserve to start the game on current form...
