According to the papers today, Fergie can't ban the journalist from Friday's press conference as it is run by Uefa.

Roman must really be regretting firing Jose.

I think wilkins will be laughing up his sleeve at him and Ancelotti too! One fired him whilst the other did not raise any objections yet the wheels fell off their previously unhindered charge to the title big time.

Gerrard Houllier has left Aston Villa by mutual consent.

[alexanders]

Gerrard Houllier has left Aston Villa by mutual consent.

Do you think they will go for Steve Kean?

On a serious note. I wonder who will be lined up. Rafa , Ancelotti?

[John]

Gerrard Houllier has left Aston Villa by mutual consent.

Confirmed?

[tcj_jones]

I reckon they'll go first for Moyes. When he quite rightly turns them down, I reckon they'll go for Ancelotti. After his comments about wanting to stay in England, I wouldn't be surprised if he took it.

[John]

Hughes and Moyes have been linked recently, interesting to see what they do.

[Kamy100]

It'll be confirmed very soon that he has left.

I also think that they will go for Moyes, he maybe tempted as he seems to have taken Everton as far as he can, if not Moyes then I think they will go for Rafa, if he is able to commute from his Liverpool base then he would take the job.

Paul Scholes has retired.

[Hughesy]

Villa deny Houlier reports.

U sure Kamy?

[ben_the_beast]

Paul Scholes has retired.

A sad day for football. Incredible player. One of the best of his generation.

[Kamy100]

Villa deny Houlier reports.

U sure Kamy?

Pretty sure yes, story came from Matt Kendrick of Birmingham Mail:

Houllier Gone

[47er]

Dave Jones sacked as manager of Cardiff and Craig Bellamy favourite to succeed him!

Suppose it could work out but I've never thought of Bellamy as managerial material before. Puts paid to any thoughts of us getting him (if true).

Apologies if this story has appeared elsewhere but I haven't seen it.

God love the future Cardiff City players

Hughes bookies favourite for Villa job

[roversmum]

Hughes for Villla? Darn. Was hoping to be able to get the better of Villa next season (and in that Asia Trophy thing).

[LeChuck]

Villa seem absolutely perfect for Hughes. He would have money to spend, they've just had a poor season so even a modest top half finish would be a big improvement, and they have a strong base for him to start with.

If Villa are serious I reckon he'll be off.

[Billy Castell]

Newcastle fans are thinking Barton is off to Liverpool very soon.

[imy9]

Sam becomes West Ham manager on two year deal.

Agreed. He'd be a great fit for Villa imo.

[Mattyblue]

Newcastle fans are thinking Barton is off to Liverpool very soon.

Oh dear! I can just imagine if Woy had tried that one!

But it will all be part of the King's masterplan!

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Oh dear! I can just imagine if Woy had tried that one!

But it will all be part of the King's masterplan!

Oh dear ! I can just imagine if Rovers had tried that one !

[Fylde Coast Fan]

Newcastle fans are thinking Barton is off to Liverpool very soon.

Heard the same from a Liverpool fan who's usually got his ear pretty close to the ground.

[Baz]

A sad day for football. Incredible player. One of the best of his generation.

Totally agree, a top footballer who was the model professional - cant say I've heard him do more than 5 interviews in his entire career.

(Would have been sent off about 5 times a season for us though!)

[RibbleValleyRover]

Newcastle fans are thinking Barton is off to Liverpool very soon.

Makes sense really. Kenny is the sort of manager who will be able to control him and get more out of him. He also linked up well with Carroll at Newcastle, pinging in decent crosses from out wide for him to put away.

Barton had a great season, if there wasn't the baggage loads of clubs would be interested.
