According to Sky Sports sources...one of favourites to be next Villa manager
Villa fans not HP on Talk-Shite. Those fuckers will never be happy with whoever they get. Birmingham on the way down, down, down.

McLeish will be as welcome to Birmingham as Murray is to the Amex.
I think it'll be much, much worse. Purely because that rivalry has been on fire in recent seasons, whereas our rivalry has only had an added spice over Judas when we've barely met them for a few years now.
Read earlier today Frank Rijkaard is favourite for the Villa job.
Agreed. Was just thinking of a similar situation. However this may make Birmingham a less than fancied club for promotion next season, which is good for us.
I was watching SSN when it was announced that Martinez was staying with Wigan. Many of the Villa fans they got comments from praised his loyalties and gave him credit for what he had done with Wigan.
Then there was a run of fans who talked like a guy who has just been turned down by a supermodel, about how they can do better than that anyway.
I'm wondering, if the Wigan manager (who has a history of jumping when a bigger club comes calling) turns down Villa, what does it say about the appeal Villa holds as a potential job? When O'Neil had them pushing for the top four it looked like a plum job, but he left, and since then they seem to have fallen.
Are villa still seen as a big opportunity for managers, or has O'neil talking of not getting the financial backing needed, and a season in the lower half soured the position? Will fans Villa accept this and readjust their ideas of who they want?
