Who do you believe? The BBC or Aston Villa FC? "As a club, we find this extremely disappointing, especially as coverage has unfairly and inaccurately shown the club in a bad light."

 

[Jimbee]

Probably a quality scam by one of the fanzines?

 

[Brentford St George]

In David O'Leary and Doug Ellis they must have the biggest pair of clowns in the premiership.Ellis is not happy unless winding people up and O'leary can make excuses for the whole of Great Britain.Apart from spending an absolute fortune at Leeds with nil return he has achieved nothing in football.Another prime example of a good player,poor manager just like Keegan.

He seems so devoid of any passion or inspiration and i think this season his time could be up

...time for your coffin Doug..................

Totally agree...I think its only a matter of time before hes gone.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Villa have launched a "high level investigation" into how this came about. The suggestion is that it was instigated by David O'Leary and if so, they'll sack him.

Next stop Sunderland, for the next installment of O'Leary's illustrious management career it would appear. When is someone going to realise that he's just sh*t?

 

[Jimbee]

O'Leary's gone. lol

Good riddance .Hopefully any other manager will fob off this parasite.Was given an absolute fortune at Leeds to spend which led to their demise and won nothing.Did'nt do anything at Villa either.Curbishley looks in the frame and would do a good job there.

 

[Willo]

Will probably end up at Sunderland

 

[Edmundo]

Time for the Milton Keynes fans to start worrying.

 

[Jimbee]

Will probably end up at Sunderland

:yes: If Betfair is anything to go by.

 

[oldgreenfordian]

I heard a suggestion that this is a contrived dismissal in order that O'Dreary may go to Sunderland without compensation being demanded.Allegedly.

What a name ! lol rofl

According to 5Live this fella has now pulled out of the running.

 

[Jimbee]

Perhaps he's realized London is the place to be and spotted a better opportunity. :nutty:

 

[I Predict A Riot]

Looks like Martin O'Neill is set to take the managerial chair at Villa - Can he wake this supposedly sleeping giant? :zzzzz:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/aston_villa/5246190.stm

 

[Downbeat Bee]

I'm surprised O'Neill will go there while Ellis is still there - knowing O'Neill he will probably seek to give Ellis a push

 

[Canadian Bee]

major coup for villa in aponting o'neill as manager

 

[I Predict A Riot]

Aston Villa's board have accepted a £62.6m takeover.

Not a good day to be a Birmingham City fan.

 

[bexleybee]

from a guy called Randy Lerner.

Would have been funnier if his name was Horny Teenager but Randy will do...

 

[Beat Poet]

Lerner has publicly backed Lambert, tantamount to a vote of confidence?

[jbolas]

Villa seem to be producing some quality young players. Samir Carruthers had a great game today and Jack Grealish at Notts County was one of the best opposition players we have faced this season. Both featured in Villa's NextGen team last season, wondering if there are any more that we should be taking a look at.

 

[hanworthbee]

shame their first teams so poor
