Sven For Villa Park?
After the cloak and dagger of the fake Sheikh scandal several months ago, is it completely ridiculous to believe that Aston Villa?s potential new owner Michael Neville could have lined Sven Goran Eriksson up as their new manager after all?
Neville has intimated that he has a manager all lined up should his takeover go through and with Sven?s agent having been spotted in the vicinity of Villa Park, tyongues are wagging throughout the Midlands that the formner England boss is set to replace David O?Leary in the Aston Villa hotseat.
Neville?s preferred option has been claimed to be Martin O?Neill who has Midlands links following his time as Leicester manager but with the season still a few weeks away the main activity at Villa Park looks to be in the boardroom before the thorny issue of a new manager is decided.
