Jack and Robert are back for yet another Holtecast as the summer continues its slow plod. To liven things up, we will be joined by our very own Kirsten Schlewitz, who will be here to help us with our World Cup preview!But before we get into that, we've got super serious business to discuss today. Aston Villa have been very busy since last we podcasted with you. There's news that the club haven't been sold, the breaking story that nothing at all is happening, and very little speculation to cover. Exciting! Oh, well, there is the Philippe Senderos imminent signing to discuss, so we've got that.Then it gets fun, as we dive into the World Cup. Sure, Aston Villa fans don't have a lot to watch, but that doesn't change the fact that we all love football and the World Cup is the greatest event in football. If nothing else, it'll be a great way to take our minds off the club for a while. We'll have discussion, analysis, and predictions for you today.

Jack and Robert are back to talk about what's new with Aston Villa now that summer is really underway. We've got chat about the players who have already come and gone, including some discussion of whether or not letting Marc Albrighton go was a good idea. We also dive into the Hong Kong Soccer 7s tournament going on right now. Jack Grealish, in particular, seems eager to prove himself in the tournament. And our main focus today is whether or not Villa can actually rebuild themselves into a contender with the reported £15 million budget that Paul Lambert has to work with.

Just because the season is over doesn't mean that the Holtecast is. Jack and I have too much important stuff to talk about to skip a week. First there's the match against Spurs. That's important, right? And then there... well... I know there was something important. Ah yes, the club's for sale. No big deal! We're going to dive into everything we know about the sale thus far, and plenty of things that we don't. Who will buy? Why did Randy wait so long to get his act together? What does this all mean for Paul Lambert? And perhaps most importantly, what does this mean for Villa going forward? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We've made it! The season is almost over, and by the next time you hear Jack and I, we'll be talking about a Randy Lerner statement, Paul Lambert's sacking, and brand new owners!Or something like that. But before we get there, we've got to cover the final days of the season. The vital win against Hull City, the insipid loss to Manchester City, and the upcoming something or other to Tottenham Hotspurs. In between we'll be discussing the future of the club. Does Lambert have a job after this weekend? When will we hear from Lerner? Any chance that we bring in the 5th-richest man in the world to own the club?

This week we're taking a look at both ends of the table. Who should you root for to help Aston Villa avoid relegation? And, with the help of Liverpool Offside contributor Conor Dowley, how will the top of the table shake out?We've also, of course, got the Swansea review and a look ahead to this weekend's crucial Hull City match. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Should Aston Villa try to get former Manchester United and Everton manager David Moyes? A lot of fans think that would be a great thing for the club to do, so Jack and Robert tackle the issue the week.We also take a look at what teams you should be rooting for this weekend in the Premier League to best help Aston Villa avoid relegation. Here's a hint: we want Fulham and Norwich to lose. And of course we've got a preview of this weekend's trip to Swansea City. All on this week's Holtecast!

Jack and Robert open by talking the news of the firings of Ian Culverhous and Gary Karsa. Then we take a look at Aston Villa's dismal performance against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park last weekend. Was it Paul Lambert's worst performance as manager of the club?And what if Randy Lerner actually did sell the club? Would that help or hurt?Finally, our look at this weekend's important match against Southampton. After beating the Saints at St. Mary's 3-2 earlier in the season, can Villa use them to get back on the winning track again? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
