Been coming for a while this, but not great timing for Villa:

Presume this means Milner's off to Man City then

England job?  Don Fabio is a lame duck and should be put out of his misery.

If I was a Villa fan I'd be throwing all my toys out of the pram at the moment.

EDIT: Great shout reg, not that I want a reason to watch England again in the near future.

One of my best mates is a Villa season ticket holder, he says it came very close to him quitting late on in the season so is not surprised at all.

Not sure who will take the job though as its a tough board to deal with.

And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Capello is a proud man, I'm sure they will come to some arrangement...

Is it? Randy Lerner seems to be one of the better chairmen in football. O'neills done well at villa, but he's hit a glass ceiling I feel with regards to what they can actually achieve

Doubt it, Hodgson seems to have exceeded all expectations there already, just by persuading Gerrard and Torres to stay. Anyway, think they're too busy with the ownership issue anyway - if O'Neill didn't like working for Randy Lerner, no way he'd want to work for those two cowboys (no matter how temporarily)
