McCarthy's hands off warning falls on deaf ears

That's if we stay up, Wolf Man. Oh dear! I am being negative again.

We will stay up, in fact we'll finish ahead of Villa this season and next.

If the Great Pretender over at Villa Park has his eyes on Jarvis maybe he can speak with whoever is his new chairman next season, because if he is still in charge at Villa I will be amazed. They were probably two big players from challenging the top four when they bottled it, lost the manager who had taken them to three 6th place finishes and now look at them. This summer three of their existing names will be leaving- I would say their position reflects this rather than the quality they have at the club because they have plenty. They lost a very good manager and appointed the wrong one in his place. Liverpool put their thinking cap on and realized a manager was not working when they fired clever clogs Roy. Has he done well at Albion? Yes. Was he doing well at Liverpool? No. When we ran the Survival Series Villa were first to respond and whilst I was taken by their troubles I was still surprised by the level of feelings against the manager when we went there. I would prefer of course both of us to remain in the Premier League but the general discord of others leaves several escape routes open rather than 4 or 5 scrapping it out. Okay, this went into relegation talk. Let's deal with bids if and when they arrive in the summer. If we are relegated it is a non starter and fair play to him. He proved himself in the Championship 3 years ago, he should be concentrating on the finals if England make it, not lining up against the bargain bucket.

Wolves are staying up and Jarvis is staying put.
