There's little hope, It's clear the owner is happy to listen to offers and be done with the club but the way he's gone about it is shameful, he's pretty content on just letting them drop. I find a move like that pretty awful. It's football though, anything can happen and Villa could easily get 4-5 wins and suddenly be above the zone.
Newcastle need rid of McClaren. If they fail to beat West Brom I can see David Moyes making a return to English football.
Sunderland are in a state that's actually worse than Villa, someone put it to them at the start of the season that they were actually in massive debt (£250 million) and thus could not afford to sign poorly and spent minimal either way. Common sense tells us Sunderland simply cannot afford to fall out of the Premier League because they have a chairman that won't invest properly and they could face financial ruin if they don't tread carefully. Staying in the Premier League for a mere 2 seasons could clear any debt.
