It's amusing that all five groups vying for Aston Villa are said to approve of Martin O'Neill. So not only is his appointment good news for the club, but it is also a slap in the face for Sven Goran Eriksson whose agent Athole Still fronts one of the contenders.
I failed to put my money where my mouth was but I had a feeling that Martin O'Neill would be shrewd enough to want to come to Villa. Despite all the negative press surrounding the club, I think that he judged that there is enough talent around to achieve mid-table and that expectations are so low that it would be hard for his reputation to be tarnished no matter what happens.
Alan Curbishley had more to lose, but I think he was unwise/cowardly not to throw his hat in the ring.
