UK Back Pages: Sam Allardyce, Tim Sherwood Mooted as Aston Villa Candidates
Aston Villa are rapidly looking to complete their search for a replacement for Paul Lambert, who was sacked midweek. But who will it be?
Former Arsenal man Sol Campbell has thrown his hat in the ring, but former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood and current West Ham boss Sam Allardyce are mentioned as potential suitors.
Campbell shows his desire for the job in Mirror Sport, and Liverpool appear close to finally locking down Raheem Sterling to a new contract:
