Villa job still up for grabs

[epsomraver]

Martinez has decided to stay at Wigan, Hughes in then?

[Oakeshott]

Good for Martinez and his Chairman. It was very possibly his Chairman's assurance when Wigan looked likely to go down last April that decided Martinez to stay put for the time being. Let's hope Hughes does get the Villa job now and we can off-laod his cronies.

What a contrast between the Wigan Chairman and the wankers at West Ham, who humiliated Grant early in the year and almost certainly de-stabilied the team.

Hmmm, interesting wording on the reports.  It's not that Martinez decided to stay, rather that Villa called off their pursuit as soon as they heard Martinez had verbally agreed an extension with Whelan (presumably prior to Villa's interest).  They seem to be making a habit of not following up initial interest.  Dare I suggest they've got someone else in mind but are at pains to be seen to be acting honourably?  We shall see...

Regarding Mr. Oakeshott's comments, I'd suggest the contrast reveals the motivations of the respective owners.  Whelan is someone who cares deeply about the club under his stewardship and acts accordingly.  Whereas that lot at West Ham are a bunch of attention seekers looking for an ego trip.  Or, as you succinctly put it, a bunch of merchants

Rumours has it that FatFreddy has filed an application but because of the lack of sausages in Brum country he has had second thoughts.

One by one Villa's (alleged) targets are not materialising. Soon there will only be one choice on their list left who is conveniently out of work.

Anyone have any idea's who that could be???

[Rambling_Syd_Rumpo]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhm Sanchez?

[FC Silver Fox]

:011: Brilliant.   I'll give him some strong creamy cheese to make up for it.

Julian, which manager is it that has said he doesn't want the job? I'm not sure if they've made a firm offer to anyone yet.

[Burt]

I have always liked Martinez and more kudos to him for not running at what most would have thought would have been a "bigger" opportunity.

Villa must be really up a brown coloured creak without a paddle.

Wonder if theyre waiting for the end of the Gold Cup.... please take Bob Bradley Villa!

[Berserker]

Still makes me wonder if they are waitng for Sparky to complete the 30 days notice at Fulham  :dft012:
