Just hope we can have someone in within the next ten days now, because the Euro's are a distraction to managers, players and agents. We need someone to assess our current squad quickly and to have an idea of who they want to bring in. Helluva a lot to do to get us competitive again. Dyche was my personal preference but not realistic, so RDM will do for me. Just get it done!

Good player mate. Could do a job for us for sure!

Don't know much about him but why not? We need to consider snapping up the best young talent around the leagues, either on loan or permanently. Plenty out there and have done a list of some other suggestions: Gk: Christian Walton, Daniel Bentley, Danny Ward Def: Dominic Iorfa, Kortney Hause, Rico Henry, Jamaal Lascelles, Paddy McNair, Mason Holgate, Michael Hector, Liam Moore, Joe Gomez, Lewis Dunk. Mid: Anthony Knockaert, Tom Carroll, Nathan Redmond, Nathaniel Chalobah, Josh Vela, Teddy Bishop, Callum Camps, Moses Odubajo, Alex Mowatt, Bradley Dack, Will Hughes, Sheyi Ojo, Brandon Barker, Alex Iwobi, Rolando Aarons, Romaine Sawyers, Rubén Loftus-Cheek. Str: Cauley Woodrow, Zach Clough, Will Grigg, Patrick Bamford, Che Adams, Nakhi Wells, Joel Campbell, Moussa Dembele, Tom Bradshaw, Kemar Roofe. Some of the above would only be possible on loan and some would be 'projects' but surely worth considering? In addition, put some of the above against some experience (ie Artur Boruc, Marc Wilson, Damian Delaney, Barry, Osman, Morrison, Walters), then could have the makings of a decent side again. This is without considering some of our own like Adama, Grealish etc.

Like McLeish

I'd be willing to part ex mine mate!

Agreed. He would want to prove a lot of his doubters wrong too. Also think that he could really look at the club from top to bottom and bring that right culture back. Hope it happens this week and things would be looking really bright again.

It's a realistic team mate and one that should be good enough to get out of the Chamionship. We just need to get out of the division.

Add Knockaert and Morrison too, then I'd be more than happy with those 4 fighting it out for 2/3 central spots.

Marshall Holgate (loan) Dunk Delaney Amavi Barton Morrison Knockaert Adama Bony (on loan) Ayew 8 in and probably 15 or so out.

This will unfortunately be our downfall in France! We will score goals but we won't keep clean sheets, especially against the better teams. We may just have to out score everyone. Germany, Spain, France will know how to close out games, something we've never been good at.

Think it's Pearson coming now and the only thing holding up his announcement is takeover approval. Would rather it be Moyes though. Just my opinion but I don't believe Bruce is even in the running. As long as they are in place before 1 June, I will be happy.

Also known as PJS?

Well i for one won't believe any of his PR spin until he gets a Villa tattoo on his leg! Then i will trust him implicitly!!

Gutted with the news tonight! What am I now going to do with the 1000 non returnable beach balls i ordered this morning?

Why not Black? Shouldn't he have at least one transfer window to prove himself? Fickle fans or what .

--------------10m----------------- 10m------10m---10m------10m 10m------10m---10m------10m -----------10m---10m---------- That kind of money should get us out of the Championship and then hold our own in the Premiership. Then again 442 I see, Xia and RDM out! When should we have our first protest

Haven't Man City already done something very similar? Star City only up the road I suppose, so could some redevelopment be done in the area to almost link both? Exciting times for sure.

Couldn't agree more mate. Although, I am slightly greedy as my physique suggests, so what the hell, spend, spend, spend!

I can get Xia a discount on skip hire if he is willing to pay cash?

If there is a lot of money suddenly available, can we consider a better calibre of player now? Striker wise, could we be bold and get someone like Bony, Remy etc, even if this were only on loan for a season? Pay the salary and they will come surely or am I getting ahead of myself slightly.

Redevelopment has to be considered quite quickly I would have thought? Should Xia's hopes/plans come to fruition then it wouldn't make financial sense to redevelop the ground if we were say back amongst the top six of the Premiership. Start Monday I say .

Sorry, just to clarify I was speaking in general terms, with the takeover etc. Not Moyes' personality! Would be one helluva coup to get him though.

Moyes was 25-1 until yesterday. Most are offering 14-1 now, although Betfair may still be offering 20-1. Think these odds will continue to drop over the next few days, especially if Wyness is confirmed. It's exciting all of a sudden.

Agree, I'd be shocked, surprised and over the moon. Think Moyes now has something to prove to a lot of people and could really get us going again.

It's happening!!!!!!
