Just noticed that in the last few hours he has plummeted to 11/8 favourite for Villa job. What dust reckon?
Struggling to care to be honest. If he wants to go, and they want him, let him go.
Maybe we could get a manager in like Holloway who would play more entertaining football than Martinez has managed – might be interesting to see what he could do with a better squad of players.
Personally though I think Villa would be making a big mistake if they appointed him rather than a proven manager like Hughes.
Holloway? Seriously? If you want to see 4-3 defeats and go down then be my guest, I’d prefer less entertaining wins to be honest.
Bobby has never said he wants to leave, he’s received constant backing from Whelan even when many were slagging him off and he constantly talks of the next level and a long term future at Latics. I have no idea why on earth he’d want to leave and throw Whelan’s support in his face and the plans in the bin.
The worrying thing is that bookies are very rarely way off the mark with their betting odds. :scared-eek:
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!

Holloway almost kept a very poor squad of mainly lower league players in the Prem. Martinez almost got a much superior squad with much more combined top level experience relegated. If Bobby was to leave, (and I hope he doesn’t) it would be interesting to see what Holloway could do with a better squad. And it would certainly be more entertaining than what Bobby has served up….
For thefinal third of the season. Roberto has had the squad playing some entertaining stuff. Not sure how you can say other wise. It was consistency that was our problem. We nailed that down during the las 10 or so games.
If roberto was to leave, in all honesty I would be gutted. I’m hoping he is here for few more years. I think looking at the man he is, the way his team play and the way he presents himself and the club through the media is top class. I was a big Paul jewell fan, but to roberto I’m confident in saying we are much better equipped under roberto’s leadership.

From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Both Whelan and the reporter who wrote that seem pretty convinced that he wont be going.
Lets hope that this time tomorrow the darkside arent hanging out the bunting.

To be fair…we were a little like that in our first season. Remember the ‘dizzy heights’ we reached and were also considered the ‘darlings’…..running on adrenelin, guts and glory. That’s all Holloway was trying to achieve with his team, and to be honest they were only a game away from consolidating their own little ‘happy ever after’ story. Defoe scoring in the 87th minute, for me, relegated them……
You said “it would be interesting to see what Holloway could do with a better squad”….really, for me, doesn’t matter as it is the managers ethos that dictates the way the team play. All that would have happened is that he would have had a ‘better team’ playing GungHo football with the inevitable results to follow.
As for entertaining…..try watching it all the time; at least Mr Martinez’ style, ethos and determination is recognised widely by the majority of premiership managers – and to a certain extent the majority of other teams fans I have encountered and read blogs on.
To me….it seems that it is only the old ‘Sunday Leaguers’ who still hanker for the old tactics. All the top managers have moved on with their way of thinking, players they bring in and style of play. It’s time that we accept and embrace the change that is needed in order to be competitive in this league.
For me….exciting times ahead; I can’t wait.
Roll on the good times……… ;)

Good post Mr C, and glad to see you mopping up the last stragglers of the Dark Side rearguard (it’s only a joke before anyone passes comment. Let the ceasefire continue….).
