YellowFellow 0 Posted May 19, 2012 If OGS turned villa down, then maybe lambert would, assuming they were even interested. How tempting are villa, they have sold all there best players in the last few years, and whoever goes there is at best 2nd choice... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted May 19, 2012 I am increasingly fearful that Lambert will go to Villa. It will be bad for us and i am by no means certain that it will be good for him but only time will tell. Part of me is angry but the other part grateful for a fantastic 3 years. Just as there are good hungry players out there there are also many good young managers desperate for a chance as indeed he was 3 years ago. Mc Nally holds the key and best he goes now with a summer to consolidate and bulid than part way through a season with transfer funds already committed. The bottom line it will be sad and a blow but we have had them before. What about Culverhouse would he want a chance, how good would Lambert be without him?

Farkes The Herald Angels 0 Posted May 19, 2012 They talk like they''re always in miserable in Birmingham. PL is not exactly Laughing Boy, but even he would struggle with their apparent dourness. Conclusive proof he will not go to Villa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phillip J Fry 0 Posted May 19, 2012 Question:If every manager wants to manage in the Premier League how come OGS has turned down a move from Villa when he manages in the Norwegian league which, no offence, is nowhere near the Premier League.If OGS is turning down the opportunity to manage Villa when he''s in a comparatively poor league, why on earth would Lambert want to go? there''s something seriously wrong with Villa at the moment.

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted May 19, 2012 Confirmed: OGS is staying at his club because the sponsors threatened to pull out after 20 years of investment in Molde.I would imagine Lambert will have talks with them this week if he''s going to at any time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goonuppersee 0 Posted May 19, 2012 Apparently what he actually said was"in football, as with any other jobs or anything else in life for that matter, you have no guarantees. Things show up and you have to deal with situations as they arises. I cant say that we will keep all of our players just because they are under contract. It depends on them, the club and the timing and quality of the offer. I am an ambitious man, I have made it no secret that i want to manage in england one day. That being said, I do want to stress that i have not been out looking for a job. I have not contacted anyone, but rather been contacted. i have already turned down a few premier league clubs and even champion league clubs that wanted to talk to me. When Aston Villa contacted me however, and offered me a private jet so that I would be ready for training the lads the next day, I wanted to speak to them. I contacted the owner (of molde) and was given the green light to do so. In that manner, the only thing I am sorry about is all this hassle that came out of it. There has not been contract negotiation. I have not been offered a job at Aston Villa. We have simply met to get to know each other. They will also speak to other candidates and I do not know whats going to happen from here. So as of today I have two years left on my contract and I intend to stay." Which sounds like a bit of a come & get me plea to me.In addition to that a Norwegian footballer has tweeted that Solksjaer has told his players that tomorrows game will be his lastIf I were you I''d get some 4/1 while you can...

PurpleCanary 5,571 Posted May 20, 2012 The latest story from the Birmingham Mail on the subject: OLE Gunnar Solskjaer is still the leading contender for Aston Villa’s managerial vacancy after leaving the door open for an offer from chairman Randy Lerner.Contrary to media reports today, the Molde manager has not turned down the claret and blues or ruled himself out of the running to replace Alex McLeish.In fact, in a diplomatic interview, respectful to both clubs, Solskjaer revealed he would give Villa his consideration if they decide to make him an offer.Confusion reigned this afternoon when parts of Solskjaer’s press conference with the Norwegian media was seemingly lost in translation as it reached England.Some outlets, including the Birmingham Mail website, carried a Press Association report erroneously suggesting the 39-year-old had rejected Villa’s advances.However, after several checks with trusted Norwegian sources present throughout the press conference, it became clear Solskjaer had done no such thing.Instead, the former Manchester United favourite, reportedly trod a fine line between being courteous to his current employers and his Villa suitors.
