Anyone want to post for Jac (Mysilv) in her absence??

It is highly likely that he will be announced as "Director of Football" at Aston Villa in the next few days with Kevin MacDonald and Stan Staunton as Coaches. After his days and failures at LFC is he the right man to take AVFC forward....or a big mistake?

At the start of the day Moyes was 50/1 to be the next Villa Manager but after a torrent of money he is now 11/4 favourite for the post. Could you see him leaving Everton for Villa Park?
