After Martin O'Neill's resignation club owner Randy Lerner started to look for a replacement. Which of these managers could steer Aston Villa to success?
After Chris Hughton's dismissal Newcastle are searching for a new manager. Bets are already being made on who will be the next man in charge and the following five coaches are the favourites according to most bookmakers.
Not sure, but I think it will go all the way to penos
I personally can't wait to see Sunday's Carling Cup Final between Manchester United and Aston Villa, however I'll be honest, I haven't got a clue who is going to win. I am voting for it to go all the way to penos, but what do you think?
Aston Villa have rejected an offer of 20 million pounds for England winger James Milner. The youngster is said to be unfazed as he is concentrating on making Capello's final 23 for South Africa. But we know one man who is thinking about it and that is Martin O'Neill, who I am sure doesn't want to part with one his seasons stars and hardest working player around. If Milner is to go it will take a lot to replace him, but do you think more than 20 million will suffice?
Doesn't matter too much, they were struggling anyway.
Tough centre back Martin Skrtel got injured last week and will be out of action for two months. With Daniel Agger also struggling with a knee injury will Liverpool be strong enough to stay in the race for the 4th spot?
As Rafael Benitez is finally leaving the Liverpool club with mutual consent after reigning for six years following the disappointing 2009-2010 season, thoughts have turned towards his successor and bets are already made to that effect.
It's a pretty bizarre thing: since Martin O'Neill was appointed manager of Aston Villa, in 2006, the team never won a game in the month of March. They played 12 games since then in the first month of spring and never came out on top. Now they will have some easier games to play, the FA Cup quarter-final at Reading on Sunday - followed by Premier League fixtures away to Stoke City on 13th March and Wigan Athletic on 16th March. Will the curse come to an end?
No, there'll be tired legs come June and they'll miss out
Aston Villa missed out on the Carling Cup trophy thanks to Wayne Rooney a couple of weeks ago but are set for the FA Cup semi-final also, which is a great achievement for any English club. Not only that though, they're still in contention for 4th spot in the Premier League, do you think they can clinch it and top off a fantastic season for Martin O'Neill's men?
