    He's just been on the international highlights on ITV, says it's not confirmed as such with a wry smile. Looks like he's lost a fair bit of weight and generally appears a healthier and happier chap. I wish him nothing but the best.

    So Villa have had a manager, sacked him, appointed the manager we sacked, and we still haven't replaced that manager?

    And soon we'll be looking for a manager to replace the temporary manager we put in charge to replace the manager we sacked who went to Villa to replace the manager they sacked, and it goes on!

    Good luck to Steve so long as he doesn't come poaching players and coaching staff.

    The promotions, the cup runs and Europe were some of the best times despite the efforts of the owners.

    He definitely will. Alex will be off there in January, maybe Elmo as well. Clemence and others might go as well which becomes hugely problematic.

    Do you really think he will take Alex with him?
    The nepotism accusations would be too loud to deny.
    More likely in for Harry.

    I 100% agree some will definitely go but I can't see it being Elmo, he sulked most of last season and publicly said he didnt want to play in the Championship. Villa getting promoted this season is a massive stretch so he'd have 2 and a half seasons out of 3 in the Championship minimum. I just cant see that.

    Possibly, they could throw money at him, particularly as villa need a RB, and he might be the sort to accept a pay cheque.

    Doubt Harry would be keen to move to another Bruce club where he can be benched.

    Just realised Bruce is being reunited with Chester and that makes me really sad.

    Perhaps they think he'll follow SB so no point giving him a contract. Nothing would surprise me where the Allams are involved.

    Maybe. Either that or Eeyore is hedging his bets in case a 'new owner' wants to install their own managerial choice?

    Hernandez said he didn't want to play in the Championship either, same with Diame. One has gone back there immediately after getting promoted from it with us and the other one was on the verge, but wasn't offered enough money.
