Chronic - I echo your reply as a Gers man cheers for the Hutton may
If Guardiola is leaving Barca surely Villa is the logical choice?

Out of that lot from the standpoint of showing ambition it would be Rafa Benitiez, did challenge fergie and Mourinho with not the greatest liverpool side ever.
The Martinez bandwagon is a strange one, a few months back he was on the verge of getting the sack. With Lambert the Canaries have done well this season but 1st season syndrome in the premiership is a dodgy thing to go on.
The only name that has done well in the prem (and europe) is benetiz. But we wont get him as he knows what he wants and needs to meet his expectations.
But can we afford to take another gamble on a manger and then pay them off, with the untried managers on the top 10.

I can't believe that Mad Mick isn't in the top 10, I might just go and stick a big wedge on him today just so he is installed as the bookies favourite and watch the villa fans have another protest outside villa park!

I'd better check Central News. If a blouse has a big wedge, a post office must have been robbed...............

Nothing wrong with the top 9 of that list. Except I reckon Kevin Mac is probably better in his current role, and while I wouldn't say no to Benitez I'm not sure he's a good fit for Villa. Glad it doesn't include the likes of Lennon, Billy Davies....

Yep, sacking Eck was the easy part.............

Martinez is no.1 with the bookies now. Jeepers.
