As was stated by a Tics mon on the Villa message board big support does not equal big club. If that was the case the 2 Sheffield clubs would not have been in League 1 which is what makes our League great.
It is quite obvious that following the lead of Arsene Wenger managing Arsenal, Aston Villa should appoint Villas-Boas as their manager as his name matches the club.
Blackburn Rovers have denied they are talking to Danny Shittu.
(The old ones are the best, I find)

by saying big clubs i mean clubs who have been playing at at the top level for most of their history, while i remember chelsea only being a run of the mill second division side in the eighties and only becoming a force when the russian mon came.
What about everton. I’m led to believe they are the only club as well as arsenal to have never been relegated in their lives.

Wigan Athletic.
Everton were in Division 2 in 1930-31 and from 1951-1954.
Arsenal were relegated in 1913, and were in Division 2 when War stopped the league programme. Controversially they were promoted back to Division 1 in 1919 despite the fact that Spurs who finished above them weren’t. It was thought there were some “dirty dealings”. They had played in Division 2 between 1894 and 1904, but had joined Division 2 rather than be relegated to it.

To be fair, Chelsea were reaching & winning the FA Cup final, ditto for the league cup & same goes for the European Cup Winners Cup, Super Cup & Charity Shield in the years before “the russian mon” came
As for what Whelan said I don;t know why they’ve got their knickers in a twist. He didn’t say they weren’t “big clubs” just that he knows if Bobby was to leave Wigan he thinks it would be for “bigger” clubs than them
IMO you are only as good as your last game.
Liverpool are a mid table team and Aston Villa are relegation contenders… after all the table does not lie.
Yes they have more trophies, more fans and more money but that counts for absolute diddle.
The only relevance their previous trophies etc. should have on Roberto taking up the job is if Dave Whelan invented a flux capacitor and took him back in time in a Ford Focus as other than that I think both of these teams will be well out of their fans expected top 6 finishes for a few years at least.
Stick with us Bobby half a season of brilliant football has opened a few peepers but if you can do that consistantly for the next 3 years nobody will be able to doubt your ability and you will have a choice of top jobs.
The latest I’ve heard – via a very reliable source who has given me some real nuggets of information in the past, is, Martinez hasn’t done a good enough job at Wigan and wouldn’t be an improvement on the previous Villa manager, and therefore won’t even be considered for the job. (Sounds like they may have spat their dummy out as last time he didn’t even want to talk to them)
The same person has also said they have it on good authority that Martinez will be turning the Liverpool job down over the course of the next few days.
Could all this be yet another publicity stunt – getting the name and reputation of Roberto Martinez and Wigan Athletic out into the wider world?
