Apparently he is the 'surprise' candidate for the Villa job, it is making sense now.

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.

Mcleish is a very good manager so hardly surprising Villa has made a move although they allegedly went off the idea of Hughes as resigned which makes little sense.
Wonder where Hughes will end up.

Read earlier today Frank Rijkaard is favourite for the Villa job.
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 Villa fans accept this and readjust their ideas of who they want?

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.

No, the report was he would take it if asked. But journo's being journo's don't tend to know their arses from their elbows.

Reckon you are very close in your summing-up. Simply Villa were and never will be able to compete,they think they are 'big' but facts say different.

I think there is a distict possibility that Rijkaard will team up with Guus Huddink at Chelsea one as football director other as manager/coach
