WHAT ??  "I'm sorry gentlemen, your choice of RDM has negated the takeover"  ?????

As if he would decide who to sell to on the basis of their choice of new manager ????

J****C*****onapolicehorse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhap due to Craig Johnson (sp) ?

I wouldn't mind a copy of that - without the 'humour'

Id love to see John Gregory back, but that's just me.

Me too - his time has passed - but a glorious time - at times ....

The original article said "presentable offer" - some read it as "suitable" - no matter - who decides what's acceptable  ? The Club obviously. We hold the high cards here.- and as occasionally happens, the agents are pushing harder than the player, IMO

This is exactly what the hells happened. I think we all should send rotten eggs to lerners home address. Just show what he has done to the club the scumbag coward

So someone posts "I think that....."

But you KNOW ??

Wouldn't that be a loss?

I was only querying the doubts expressed about his on-field attitude - given what he hoped would happen, 

As for his agent - we all think he'll be gone - so why be surprised/upset??  He gets his wish - though taint by association might harm his rep - but I doubt it.

Quote

Villa took a massive £9m gamble on Gana and he's proven he is not up to the task either technically or attitude.

Attitude ?? You would fault his attitude ?? Geezus - I'll grant that occasionally he has fallen victim to the poor play malaise that has infected the others - but dont confuse that with attitude. He is, like Ayew, a player who would improve a lot in a decent team...

My God - the club issue a statement - and so many here are reading into it - exactly what they want to read.

"While it is of little solace at present, the process of identifying the root causes of our circumstances started long ago and the focus now has to be looking forward and making sure lessons have been learnt"

now that - to me - indicates they know what went wrong - autopsy completed - and the next step is being taken. Good.

Part of me wishes he'd sell the club to the first shyster that borrows !00 mil and then piles the debt on the club.  Be careful what you wish for - you might end up with a

Venkys or a Gaydamak or a Cellino or Yeung   - 6  months later, you'll need a new blanket with a new slogan

It's human nature that some here are glass half-full and some are glass half-empty - but I've never seen so many whose glass has been stolen by Steve Harrison for nefarious purposes

No, I'm not protective of Pearson.  If anybody reads my posts on the subject that is clear enough.

I'm trying to be protective of some balance.  Those who don't want him ignore a decent record, that's all.  (Some even suggest those that DO want him are somehow 'fooled' into thinking 'he's a hard man, we need a hard man, he'll do' - which is not only wrong, it is very patronising).

As regards what I said about his record in the Premiership, I stand by it.  I said apart from one very bad spell their form was top half, and it was.

I did not say "top half form all season" - its pretty poor to deliberately misquote  - I just wonder about the effort going in by a few who clearly have an agenda against a guy we may well appoint.

The very bad spell was games 8 - 18.

The first 7 games their points average would have put them top half. The last 20 games would have also done so.  In fact possibly top 8 in some years.  That is 27 out of 38 games.

 

It is pretty bad form to misquote I agree - my error was a partial quote. I apologize for that - buty I would seriously dispute "the top half form all season"

So what ?

As regards their 'good run' last year, it was really the opposite.  Apart from one very bad run they were top half form all season, not the other way around.  Which, if you look through Pearsons history, is common almost every time.  His sideshave bad runs, but go on extended good runs - something we haven't done for as many years as I remember.

It doesn't make him great, but it is a worthy enough c.v.

Wonder how many more times this will need posting ?

BTW After 7 games in 2014 - Leicester were 12th - close enough - I'll give you that

It's too easy to pick any number of games and project the record over a season - it's slightly disingenuous to claim that the last 20 matches were top half form when in fact the last 9 games yielded 22 pts ( Title form ?) and the prior 11 yielded only 9. (relegation form?). Let's face it those last 9 games were a complete freak - and distort any weighted average

BTW - I have no agenda against Pearson - if anything I am coming round to the idea - just hope he has learned to know when to open his mouth.

Pearson is a hell of a manager - we had to employ TWO managers to get 16 points from 29 games - Pearson did it all on his own.

You think Little has been appointed because they are worried we wont like knowing Fox earns a lot of money ? That they knew that 'news' (hardly a shock) was coming out and thought  "lets ring Brian Little, that'll do it ?"..............I'm afraid if that's your real view there's no debate for me !

I concur

This is why I think he should be loaned to a Championship club. As you say, this is something that happens to tons of players every week, including at higher-profile clubs than Villa. Do we imagine that Demichelis and Otamendi weren't criticised in strong terms for their efforts yesterday? So why Jack? Because the media's desire to turn him into the next Ravel Morrison is palpable. However, spending the next eighteen months in the Championship ought to be an effective cure for their interest. Then they can turn their efforts to ruining Dele Alli's career instead. 

Why loan him to a Championship club? He'll be on the books of one soon enough
