I would imagine Marco and his team would be very happy with an approach, if true, pay rises all round and Marco benefits without having to do anything.

Link? Seems pretty short sighted. What about the one next to Gerrard can we have him instead?

[LC]

Lol, no chance

[Jimmy Hill]

Thought this might have happened. He praised them a lot in his pre match press conference. Seemed impressed with there squad.

Hopfully that is just paper talk but it is worrying. Villa are a big club with top six potential and wll have appeal to most ambitious managers.
Of course, if Silva went he would soon take Mitro with him.

TK needs to kill this one off quickly.

I just don't see him going anywhere. I mean why would he. Villa might have been a big club once upon time but it's irrelevant. Our owners have just as much money if not more.

And even if he were to go, Mitro is under contract. Although I would consider a bid of around £70m due to his age and the fact that his form will eventually drop- probably as he crosses the 30 years old mark which will also mean a huge drop in value

I understand Aston Villa have made initial contact with Marco Silva. Topics discussed included who Aston Villa were, how they got Silva's's number and not calling Silva again.

Marco is also considering applying for the PM role & given that will be a short-term position he can then move on to Villa

I don't buy that Villa are a particularly big club these days tbh. It's a long long time since the late 80s mid-90s when they last won anything. Some 25-30 years since they were successful.

If we're talking a top 6 club sure, but can't see that being much more appealing than what he's built here. Living in London in a nice borough with affluent owners who just spent out on a brand new fancy stand, that may be willing to splash again bigger if we stay up next year. The last time he moved to Everton it didn't work out for him. Seems a fairly similar sidewise step in my opinion.

No chance of him leaving. If he heard the Villa fans yesterday jeering Gerrard then I'm sure that itself would him off the offer.

TK needs to do no such thing. Silva is loved here and said in a recent interview he wanted to stay. He wont leave us for Villa. He had options to go to a champions league team earlier in the year and stayed put.

They can fcuk off

Make of this what you want.  Hopefully it's all just nonsense. 

NEW: Aston Villa move to fire Steven Gerrard after “unacceptable conduct” after Villa’s 3-0 defeat at Fulham this evening. Gerrard reportedly locked players in dressing room and assaulted stadium personnel who had to climb through ceiling to enter room. More to follow. H.

I'd be surprised if he went to Villa. Surprised and very angry.

[Craven Mad]

After years of club-hopping, I hope Marco sees the value in spending a few years rebuilding his name here. He's respected, is the backed by the owner, and is exceeding expectations. Stay with us for a few more years, and establish us as a prem team, and a bigger club might come knocking (like it did with Potter).

Leaving for Villa would be a big risk which, if it fails, would put his name back to where it was before he joined us and he'd likely be back to Championship or overseas clubs.

It's a parody account. A subtle one, but read a bit more of it and you'll get the gist.

Head of European Sports at the FT? That must be as time consuming as my job as War Correspondent for Country Life.

Martin Keown was saying how big a club Villa was on Talkshite this morning because of their history blah blah blah. Just because they had a past doesn't make them big anymore. Silva knows he's in a good place I really can't see him going anywhere.
