Can see lennon actually going there

Awful manager.

Huge club. 

Wouldn't blame him if he did.

They'll be looking for a bigger name.

Hope they go down, they're definitely due.

They'll be looking for the best manager.

Laudrup would be a good one, bet Lennon is on the shortlist though.

Villa are arrogant like most clubs, a big name will always trump a good manager as far as they are concerned.

Have to be mad to take the Villa job in my opinion, owner's completely lost interest. Even if they did stay up this year unless Lerner puts some money into them they'll be in the same situation again.

That's the second time in the space of a few days lennon has had something to say about something nothing to do with him. 

He wants out

Spot on.

I recall hearing Pat Murphy saying months ago on 5live that Lerner's had enough and wants rid.

He hasn't got the funds to compete in the Prem any more and wants to sell to someone who has.

It's not that he's lost interest so much, he's just realised that it's pointless ploughing what cash he's got left into the club because it's only enough to keep them in the bottom half and he genuinely wants to see them move on to the next level.

But he hasn't got the readies to fund it.

I've got a soft spot for Villa because I watched them a lot from the Holte End as a student in the 80's.

Lerner has been touting Villa for months. He has totally lost interest since he blew his wad with O'Neill. He has no intention of frittering away any more money on a lost cause and any manager following Lambert is just inheriting a poisoned chalice. It might be a good thing for Villa to go down. They are no different from any other club at the end of the day.

Quite right.

I think that they've got just enough to get out of being relegated but only if their better players start to deliver.

I agree. I think they will probably just survive at the expense of Hull. It's so difficult to call at the bottom end of the table. All the teams in the bottom half are capable of beating one another.

Lennon is "flattered" again this morning  

In other words I want out.

Bolton Wanderers boss Neil Lennon: 'Nothing in Aston Villa link'

Bolton Wanderers manager Neil Lennon has said that there is no substance to the rumours linking him with the vacant Aston Villa role.

The former Celtic manager was linked to the Premier League club after Paul Lambert was sacked on Wednesday.

According to the Daily Star, Lennon is a frontrunner alongside Tim Sherwood, who has been linked with the Queens Park Rangers job also.

"There is nothing in any of the links to other clubs," Lennon said in today's press conference.

"It's just speculation. It's flattering but there is nothing in it."
