You know what I am getting fed up with all the nonsense around MON and possibly leaving. The past weeks he could not have been more clear that he is planning for next season and talking very positive for the future.
Well we have this nonsense from the Daily Mirror that Slaven Billic has give up on the West Ham job as a bigger PL club wants him and it is us and we are favourites to land him.
In the piece we have this killer quote
O’Neill’s position at Villa Park hangs in the balance amid rumours of his uneasy relationship with owner Randy Lerner.
It shows how the press work (I found out with the MON quit story !!) that we have a rumour story based on other rumours. The Story even manages to work in the Mark Hughes rumour and today’s Sky Sports rumour about Steve McClaren might be interested and even works in David Moyes.
Makes you shake your head in disbelief
MON is STAYING
EDIT: Now the Daily Star have got in on the action with a link to Roy Hodgson, Villa fans just ignore !!

Obviously Ian you’re a big Mon fan which we’ve already discussed on VitalVilla many times but if you’re getting so “fed up of the rumours” then why are you even posting them? there not going away mate until Randy says publically that he wants Martin to stay,
Also it doesn’t help the credibility of this site when your posting about the story from a biased angle, you’ve made your position clear that you want the man to stay, but other fans such as myself believe that it wouldn’t be the end of the world if he did leave this summer,
Imo someone like Moyes would be far more effective with the money Randy would give him and the players we’ve got at the club.
Si, this blog is about my biased angle and presenting my viws, either people disagree or agree with them
News includes rumours and clearly some of the press believe MON is going though anything he said over the last few weeks would simply not back this up
These stories for some reason are out there and it is fair to discuss them just like on the forums
I’m also an avowed MoN fan because of the progress that we’ve unquestionably made under him and my belief that we will make further progress next year.
I have also not previously heard of a credible replacement that would take us further faster.
Having said that….Bilic is the first name I’ve heard mentioned that initially seems like a realistic and positive alternative.
Before any of us get too interested though there are two flaws to the rumour: 1) MoN is not leaving and 2) If Bilic is talking to a bigger club than West Ham, isn’t it more likely to be Liverpool?
Totally agree with you Ian – I just wish the press would totter along and go play with some other football clubs’ manager and leave us to get on with providing some decent alternative the the “Sky 4″. We are obviously a threat and they are hoping to derail us. I hope MON sees it for what it is worth!
SI:
MON has done everything he can to say that these rumors are rubbish. So, now Lerner has to come out and confirm that MON will stay? What would be the basis for his firing MON anyway?
Another great result at home for us today huh guys?!!
and maybe if Mon stopped talking in riddles the press wouldn’t be putting out these stories, at the end of the day we’ve now been linked with FOUR different managers, and as they say there’s no smoke without fire,
People talk about “progress” but i’d beg to differ, at the end of the day we’ve FAILED to win a cup and we’ve FAILED to finish any higher in the league, that’s the facts there in black and white, all we’ve done is stand still, and we’ve been doing that for the past three years despite being one of the biggest spenders in the league.
