    I like the combination of green and white hoops. Always preferred it to a vertical stripe myself.

    Agreed. Real Betis. Croatia's checkered strip was always my favourite, to be honest.

    We lost 8-0 a couple of seasons ago, is the Premier League not a real league?

    We might not be a real team? That Chelsea game was Lambert's rubicon. He drowned. 

  3. I'm happy to give this chap a chance. Any appointment Randy makes will be questioned - especially when this looks like a cabinet reshuffle to placate those who feel Randy is too 'hands off' and install somebody who, you know, is meant to do the job on a day-to-day basis. 

     

    The curious issues for me are: how is this post actually recruited? This guy has come from nowhere. Secondly, why now? Why not at the start of the season? Has Randy fallen even more out of love with the club? Is Hollis a lightning rod? And, thirdly, how will transfer business be dealt with from now on? Do people have to keep flying to New York with a wishlist and a happy look to get Randy to part with cash or is Hollis able to spend a set figure? 

     

    As normal with Villa, this raises more questions than answers. Welcome Steve: you're in for an f-ing bumpy ride. Oh, and your boss doesn't give one sh*t about the organisation you now work for. Joy.

    I'm not a fan but he's deserved a chance now. Wonder what this means for January. 

    Fascinating. Remi's admitting defeat in th search for a new striker? Or is Gestede being punished for his potty mouth post-Wycombe (in addition to his fondness for the penalty spot).

  5. Maybe one of Remi's 'the board know what I want' points was 'let me play Kozak to see what he's like'. Have the board relented? 

     

    Randy will put his hand in his pocket to pay Lazio an extra 50p to let Kozak play a handful more games for us. 

  6. I remember someone saying on here in the summer that so many new signings would be either a spectacular failure or a massive success. We know the result, now.

     

    However, adding more players to the mix might not help us at the moment. Our January loans up to this point, in previous years, have been woeful. 

     

    Frankly, though, the players we have at the moment have shown very little so what else can we do? Bring new players in: morale drops in those who came in the summer and it signals an admission of failure of the summer transfer policy. Don't bring any in and the fans and the management feel they aren't being supported by the board.

     

    This is a window where we need to build for next season, as well as get players in on loan who might spare some of our blushes this year. The former is the priority, though. 

     

    I'm more concerned about what kind of bonkers clauses the board will add into any new players' contracts. Any deals like Kozak's (which presumably has some kind of 'pay Lazio extra money if he plays x games') will be disastrous. These policies are tying the manager's hands before the players even come in.
