Solskjaer for Villa now possibly.
:popcorn:
Molde confirm Villa have approached him.

Another Fergie minion

Wonder if he will get any money to spend?
Solskjaer won't be taking over at Villa according to SSN.
Not surprised soze kaiser is a manager. Having spent more time on the bench with fergie he must've picked up some good habits. I doubt his breath smells. Or something less gay.
Solskjaer has snubbed Villa.
Villa have released Cuellar, Guzan and....
Ivanhoe. :(
That doesn't leave the next manager much to work with.
I always thought Guzan looked really good when he played, we should get in thereQuote:

Apparently Lambert has quit as Norwich boss
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...Villa-job.htmlQuote:
PAUL LAMBERT quit as Norwich boss last night.
The Scot resigned following a furious bust-up after the club refused to give Aston Villa permission to talk to him.
Lambert will walk into the vacant Villa job, with owner Randy Lerner and chief executive Paul Faulkner identifying him as their No 1 choice yesterday.
The raging boss wanted out once it became clear the Canaries were digging their heels in, adamant they would not even let him hear what Villa had to offer.
It resulted in a bitter end to Lambo’s three-year love affair with the Carrow Road club, who he took from League One obscurity to 12th place in the Premier League following successive promotions.
It is the second time in 18 months that Norwich, backed by TV cook Delia Smith, have refused to give their manager permission to speak to a rival club.
In January 2011, they turned down Burnley’s request to approach Lambert following the dismissal of Brian Laws.
A Canaries statement at the time said: “The club will fight tooth and nail to retain the services of Paul Lambert and his team during this critical period of the season and whilst they remain employed under a long-term contract.”
They tried the same tactic yesterday but it blew up in their face — days after Lambert, 42, declared he was going nowhere.
That clears the way for him to succeed Alex McLeish, who Lambo played under at Motherwell.
SunSport can reveal Villa identified the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder as the steely character required to shake up the Midlanders before Roberto Martinez declared he was staying at Wigan.
Lerner feels Lambert is the young, aggressive and ambitious boss Villa need after two miserable years.
Norwich now face a summer sweat to bring in a new manager.
Former Canaries skipper Malky Mackay will be a contender.
He took Cardiff to the Carling Cup final, where they lost to Liverpool on penalties, as well as the Championship play-offs last season.
Chris Hughton is also in the frame.
West Brom are not keen to cough up around £2.5million for the Birmingham man’s services.
But that figure would not worry Norwich who expect to receive some compensation from Villa when Lambert is officially installed as boss.
Norwich and Swansea will probably get relegated this season.
SSN say Lambert's representatives will meet with Villa today. Villa are on a Scottish fix - McAllister, McLeish, Lambert. :lol:
Lambert offers his resignation, but Norwich turn it down.
Seems to be nailed on for Villa...
why the heck would you leave norwich, a team on the up, to take over a shite team on its way down?
they've been drained of all their good players over the years and have an owner who seems disinterested. id rather stay at norwich til a much bigger team comes calling because it'll inevitably happen.
Good for Lambert. Trying to force a manager or player to stay against their will - refusing to let them speak to anyone else - is just stupid. Nazi mentality. You want people who want to stay, not pressed slaves. If Norwich now have trouble getting a decent manager and go down, then it will be no less than they deserve.
Maybe he thinks he will get better backing longer term to get players he wants. In any case, no harm in looking to see what their plans are - you can always turn them down if it is not what you want.Quote:

its a bit of taste your own medicine for norwich because its what lambert did to colchester to join them but its still a ****ish thing to do. i mean resigning means your club lose out on money for you. when you compare how swansea and rogers dealt with this situation and compare to norwich there is a sour taste in the mouth about hte norwich situation but still. its football. nowadays everyones a money grabbing **** and a select few arent. should be the other way roundQuote:

Not so sure. He sounds like a total, utter and undeniable **** to me. In the end, even if people are screwing you over, if you do things the right way yourself you win in the long run. Always bad when good will gets wasted, I'm talking more about the fans than the club. These days most club execs stink but staying loyal to the fans and doing things the right way is a better way to go.Quote:

Decent football at Villa again? :popcorn:
It's possible. Should be more attack minded now Ivanhoe has departed.
Holt to lead them to Europe?
Holt and Bent is possibly the best front line in Europe, tbf.
Swansea linked with Michael Laudrup
Apparently Bergkamp is one of the favourites for the Swanselona job. :bow:
However the Wigan assistant manager remains in pole position. :shrug:
Think Swansea would become the best club ever with Bergkamp in charge
Presumably we'd loan players out to Swansea with Bergy there. :bow:
Would love to see Bergkamp thrive at Swansea, put him in line to take over the reigns at Arsenal one day.

Apart from away games in Europe
Surely he'd need to man up and fly if he managed a club in Europe, although I guess he'd probably go by road a lot more than he did as a player because there wouldn't be any fatigue factors to worry about.
He'll just manage by skype, tbh.
