Dr Who?

I really do not think it was to do with the Villa position. I think they will aim higher to please the fans, and what about the other coaches that were sacked. Nothing seems to add up!

Are you suggesting that there are no double standards in the football world. Please wash out your mouth with soap and water!!

It really does baffle me what has gone on. Like people are saying. Ok sack AP if that is what was needed for whatever reason, but why all the staff. I can only think and this keeps entering my head, and NC is thinking really long term and the premier league and did not think the current set up would be able to cut it in the premier league and he wants to put a structure in place that means he does not have to have mass changes when we do get there? This still does not rin true though or sit right with me because IF we do go up and then start having a good start to the 2011/12 season what is to say that our new manager or coaching staff will not gain interest from top premier league clubs, and leave anyway? This could have happened to AP and his coaching staff anyway beacuse a successful club with always gain interest from other clubs for their staff as well as players. Something is not right, and if a cheap option comes in, and we start selling players in January it would look to me like the owners are baling out on us. This may sound far fetched but I cannot get any of this straight in my head.

I have heard they were all talking to Villa, and Knobbing the same female member of staff.... News of the World stuff this!!

Does not and will not say a thing until a new manager has been taken on. It has been less than 24 hours, and I want news just as much as the next man. he does not have to explain anything to anyone about his actions.

I would think that Villa would aim higher!

Not a good move, promotion this season will be harder now, and I believe that he had good relationships with his players. Will they want out now, I think they will if we are not pushing for promotion in January 2011! The dream I believe could have been shattered, with all this togetherness that has now gone out the bloody window.

draw then, in my experience. All bets are in the 90 minutes.

This shows a complete lack of ambition, and we can forget the 5 year plan. This man cannot mange a premier league club which means we would have to replace him IF we got to the promise land... shambles.... this better not be true!

I was just about to start going to home games. Well one a month again as I was feeling good about this season. I think I will hold my horses for now just to see how well NC ****s up with this.... Hart i will not be returing for a 5/6 hour round trip with that plum as manager!

I do not think for one minute we will bring a manager back or that it will be someone who was a star for the club as a player in the past. The reason for this is the NC does not really warm himself to the ex players of the club. It will be someone completely new, young and someone who can cope with the premier league. I just feel that NC wants to make the change now so he does not have to again in the Premier league. IMO. I have not based this on anything I may or may not have heard, seen or think I have heard or seen.

it always amazes me just home much people knew or heard that something like this was going to happen after the event, and now people know who the next manager will be but cannot say. This site is mad, but fun!!

Why do people feel the need to post things like this if they cannot or will not say anything? What is the ****ing point?

Unless it is Zola!!

All I can say is he is a football manager, but even this information may not be correct, but I would hope so!!

Someone does not get much attention in life!

Shot gun!

ha ha ha ha.. it will NOT be McClaren!

I have no doubt that we would have gone up this season with AP, but I still feel we will go up. I think NC wants a manager in place now for when we reach the premier league. Right or wrong we will never know about AP. But what is done is done and I just hope we have a premier league manager lined up so we do not have to make another change when we get there.

What is Hoddle up to?

What is Branfoot up to these days? I like to see what he could do with money!!! lol

Some one new comes in and they will want to build their own team, this could mean promotion will not happen this season, unless a manager comes in and does not want to change the squad at all. If we go up this season it will always be AP team!!!

Have we not learnt anything from Mr Lowes time in charge. Mental and also the club statement does not make sense about stability!!!!

Now I have started thinking about it, even though we are not likely to get anywhere near the FA Cup Final I would not mind a run in this, but the JPT is not a major trophy and is seen as a bit of a joke. Was far from it when we were at Wembley back in March, but it did not have the same feel that winning the league or the FA Cup would have. Not that I know what that feels like, but I do only to well know what it feels like to stay up on the final day of the season, and that is far more intense than it was at Wembley last season!

No not 2 evenings in a row!!
