\nAfter the shock resignation of Aston Villa manager John Gregory, it looks like the north Birmingham hopefuls are once again on the lookout for someone to take them to the top flight of football. A source close to Doug Ellis revealed to us last night that they might not be searching as far as you would think. After Moseley Town FC\u2019s awesome run of matches in December, it became apparent that the manager, Stu \u201cScarface\u201d Haresnape, is likely to be Villa\u2019s first choice.<\/p>\n

Fourteenth place in the Alliance Division 2 and a win in the Delmar Cup has brought this young manager to the attention of a number of high profile clubs. A meeting this morning at Villa Park is thought to confirm the appointment. Due to Moseley Town FC\u2019s irregular commitments, it is thought that Mr Haresnape will now manage both teams with some probable swapping of players. He told us this morning, \u201cWith Ginola and Angel now moving to Moseley Town FC, I think we can look for to some more consistent displays on Sunday mornings. I also intend to play Joel up front for Villa because he\u2019s always wanted to play for them and I thought, shit why not?\u201d<\/p>\n

The news of this shock appointment has not pleased all of Villa\u2019s existing players. Paul \u201cEvens\u201d Merson told us yesterday, \u201cIt\u2019s his training methods I\u2019m not too happy about. I heard from some of the Moseley Town lads that we\u2019ve got to have all our meetings in the Jug of Ale and that\u2019s not ideal for me with my record is it? And he\u2019s told David he can only get his hair cut at Barnet Fair now, that\u2019s going to ruin his manly good looks.\u201d<\/p>\n

We asked Mr Haresnape if he was worried about making such a leap into Premier League football and he told us, \u201cI support Everton and really couldn\u2019t give a toss how Villa do, but that seems to go for most of their fans these days doesn\u2019t it? As long as I get a few quid out of it, it beats working behind the bar in the Jug.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
