I had to pinch myself this morning as I woke with a smile

We've had loads of emails in since O'Leary left last night, most saying the same thing and one or two saying something completely off topic; but they are all saying it's a good thing for Aston Villa.

I honestly woke up with a smile this morning and haven't felt this good in a long time. Many will know that I've been campaigning to see O'Leary gone pretty much since day one so this is a perfect day.

I have a couple of mates in Leeds who warned me when he became manager and pretty much everything they said happened. I feel sorry for Sunderland if that is where he ends up next.

The book is open on who will be the next manager but we'd like to know who you want. You can vote to the right.

Also, we've had a little gossip come our way; expect a quick decision on the next manager or caretaker manager.
