Well past his best, not as nippy as he used to be which just means he is a tidy player who will fail to penetrate defences. I'd rather keep Gil and try develop Grealish/Green.

I'd have the same reservations, a good start would be absolutely crucial for him.

If Moyes is manager then Gibson on a free transfer is a big possibility.

From an interview with Toner the other week he discusses how Ciaran Clark was the one senior player who really talked to him and gave advice. He might not be a great centre half but he is a decent character which there is a serious shortage of at the club. If he wants to stay he should be kept, if he wants to leave he is replaceable but the leadership will be a loss.

I'll admit I'm not as worried now, it is just as it does seem things are checking out. I still insist that Samuelson is scum who should not be allowed near a football club though.

In fairness the Teamax thing checks out http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=281129116

If he was given the same resources as O'Neill he might have done better than him in my opinion. He talked some rubbish though.

Ryan Giggs might head into management if he does not want to stay on under Mourinho. It would be hugely risky but he could bring some decent young players on loan which would be nice if there turns out to be very little money available. From interviews he does not seem to have a great football mind but given his professionalism as a footballer he could be a good influence on the younger players. Sleeping with the brothers wife is another negative but these things happen.

Touché, but Comolli didn't have his jersey on the wall and doesn't have past links with Wyness. On the balance of probabilities it is almost certain that Samuelson is involved.

It has been reported in many papers that Samuelson advised Tony Xia on the deal.

The biggest worry I have is that Xia doesn't have great wealth, that an entity like the Vibrac Corporation have lent the cash to him and will swallow up the parachute payments and then proceed to asset strip the club when Xia doesn't have the cash to pay them back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrac_Corporation Maybe I'm being overly pessimistic.

When Samuelson picks out frontmen he doesn't pick ones that won't be considered credible. The parallels with Reading are shocking to be honest.

Mikey Drennan has taken a break from/ left professional football and Shamrock Rovers as he battles with depression. He plans to return home to Kilkenny to seek employment and go back playing Hurling. He speaks of his lack of support at his time at Villa. http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/league-of-ireland/i-walked-out-of-dressing-room-and-started-crying-shamrock-rovers-star-opens-up-on-depression-battle-34731605.html

I've said it already and I'll say it again that there is no reason for Samuelson to be involved if everything is above board.

I wonder if Bielsa is on the radar at all? He was close to going to Swansea last season and although Swansea were in a better situation at the time there is more potential to develop a serious project at Villa. He has his eccentricities but could lay down some serious foundations as to how the football team should be run. The football would be great to watch too and it would be a tremendous signal of intent.

Links to moving shady Russian money into football particularly Reading in the past. His main business is in offshore banking and the setting up of shell companies I believe. Why he needs to be involved here is questionable. Wyness on the other hand is potentially a great appointment.

Very worrying if it is him.

He was completely unfit at the start of the season along with Veretout, whatever training Sherwood was doing at the time the fitness was atrocious. Along with the tactical disaster in the Leicester game the team ran out of legs completely that day. Of course Leicester benefited greatly from the cycling sport science geniuses at Centro Mapei in Italy which helped have them so fit.

I hope he isn't involved http://www.gudavadze.com/court.news.christopher-samuelson-denies-money-laundering-allegations.html

It seems like this man is very smart, hopefully he see the sense in low ticket prices, big attendances, great atmosphere and a great stadium being an important part of rebuilding the club.

From my googling I can find very little business info about this lad but from Lerner's statement and the PHD thing it seems as he is something of an architect and a genius. A young Harvard professor to give West Point Fixed minor Xia Jian System: 25 years old, was born in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province. Harvard University Master of Business Information Management Architecture and Design Science Ph.D. Bit, now the youngest professor at Harvard University, he served as executive vice president of the United States XWHO design consultancy, design and co-Ivy Institutions (Harvard professor of more than 20 joint investment company) CEO. Research topics include digital urban landscape, GIS And network GIS, Eastern and Western cultures and landscapes, and so on. He proposed "About dynamic landscape planning and design theory" is modern King Concept planning new theoretical model design. He has participated in a number of cities of regulation presided Germany, Britain, Israel, Egypt and the United States Project planning and design awards. Sitting opposite me in the summer to build a unified vice precocious appearance, and no wunderkind frivolous. I do not know why, looking at him, brain Yard suddenly emerge out of "Kingdoms" in the words: "Way back when the public would like, Joe married early, majestic high spirit, guam Towel, laughing mast scull ashes ...... "Summer build system is just the wedding, however, is different from the public would like, he was very calm. Hangzhou should be invited, only 25-year-old landscape design expert command of the summer to build more than 20 graduate students at Harvard University, will be used for two months a year Time, West Lake in Hangzhou planning as a whole. This summer to build the system to reporters about some of his initial ideas. Future city planning, in the strict sense is called "Landscape Architecture." This discipline in China is very fresh. According to the traditional thinking Victoria understood that landscape architecture is talking about garden design, such as the Suzhou gardens, royal garden design. We are talking landscape provided Meter, is a larger scale, such as the environment of the whole country, an urban environment, or in a city environment for the community Comprehensive design. Although the characteristics of each city is different, but the same basic steps of planning and design. Have accurate information, to grasp the pulse of a city development Stroke foundation. The first step in Hangzhou landscape design is to collect data in various fields, and then create a dynamic model, provided by the Planner A plurality of different programs, then those programs evaluated. How much would such a program percentage points of economic growth, but A program of cultural history and would cause much damage to the ecological damage caused by the number and so on, this data will be in our program Embodied so that policy-makers consider and weigh, which then decided to use the program. This time I went with 20 people hang together, there are architects, urban designers, landscape architects, ecology, history, culture and other parties Side professionals, because landscape planning needs of various disciplines who cooperate with each other to complete. Hangzhou is impossible because the plan changed dramatically. The main purpose of the plan is to help the West declared "World Cultural Heritage Production ", Hangzhou, but also because they simply can not be declared" World Heritage "and ignore the others. We'll give a few aspects of Hangzhou A program that is doing so, the prospect of five years, 10 years later, will have what effect predictions. This design project is expected next year 3 Months to be completed. Transformation of the West, we are eliminating some damage may Westlake facilities stuff, such as high-rise buildings; change some transport facilities, Traffic management. Now there is an influence of the West Lake landscape of skyscrapers, if you set one-way street can cause such an effect, That is if visitors back, you do not see the impact of landscape building, so you can avoid the demolition of buildings and losses. In addition, the plan Set some tour scenery, such as rockery, attic for a class, to West Lake "modesty cover" to ensure that visitors do not see too unpleasant East Western. West now can not afford more tourists, we must consider the development of more tourist spots to evacuate tourists. According to regulation across the Qiantang River Planning, the future focus of the Qiantang River in Hangzhou city would like to move there. Also, if you want to widen the road, the road extension how much money will No damage to the landscape resources and even cause damage ...... ecological resources of these problems, we have to demonstrate. Currently we have finished collecting all the data, the results more optimistic, from the data, the natural scenery in general no major break Bad, not to the point of non-demolition of high-rise buildings. But this is only the first step in the declaration, the probative value of the landscape, in this regard, the West Lake has excellent Potential. But the second step is more important, namely how to ensure that the landscape is not destroyed. There are many views of the world, because too much emphasis on creating Making short-term economic benefits, so that the environment has been destroyed malignant. Such as the US Yellowstone Park actually made the railways, the large number of After the tourists bring in, although in a significant increase in earnings in two years, but the damage to the landscape, no one went. Urban planning is like home decorating design should put more money into the plan. Although the plan was to do a spend hundreds of thousands Dollars, but since then the city can no longer indiscriminate demolition of unauthorized construction, can be described once. Hangzhou a few years ago to engage in major demolition and construction, to spend a billion dollars, This can often be the construction of a pass, the next will have to be repeated. In fact, according to the computer demolition process can set the dynamic city mold Type for virtual try. City any changes can be reflected in this model. For example, to build a building, how much money will be spent, What is the impact on the overall construction of the city, the surrounding ecological destruction if there is, everything can be predicted, and so do not have to build only after know. Xia said that he built the system Century 20 months, the mainspring of my life as if slips are heavy academic work and tightened. A regulation in the Middle East Planning projects not yet completed, China Hangzhou West Lake scenic area planning began a tedious preparatory work. So I often late at night Was awakened by phone, stumbled into the earth could react from which side of the sound, you have to quickly cut into thinking needs to be discussed issue. So passively experience dislocation transfer time and space, almost equivalent to the years when the real feelings of traveling around the world Dazed mood changes when empty. Even worse, at the same time have to play a number of different roles across different stage back and forth, often it is easy to produce Students a sense of confusion. At school, I was a rush to do doctoral thesis, an assistant professor of secondary instructors taught several letters Head of information science and technology assisted planning project; in the company, is a designer exhausted, often a "dragon head, but Vice president tail ", a shuttling negotiators from around the world; and in his spare time, you become immersed in their own piece of a Scholarly world of writers, written in English their professional articles with Chinese painting poetry prose. So often I would be good friends Friends of cross-examination, they are always surprised me is how to adapt to this "foot boat several" life. A lot of people say I am a child prodigy, 5-year-old school, primary school jumped two, 15-year-old admitted to the University, 24-year-old scored a Ph.D. from Harvard. To be honest, 14 years ago, I almost think so. My parents are ordinary workers, there is no major problem. But my grandfather is the late Qing Dynasty lifts last generation, has appointed the director of Zhejiang Province. Kid grandfather gave me an old old books, taught me back inside a few Tang poems, poems by heart, and I did as word of the book According to the original word is written. I grew up with a grandmother, she likes stopping by, among older sisters, ages always have to ask, you big How old, how old I was young, I listened until subtraction will forget the side. Then the other grandmother said, the child is too smart, should The to school, so I'll go to school. I've got a few years older than my brother, he learned books, I pick nothing to look at, and later I found a teacher, I Have a chance to jump two, save a lot of time. Since learning has been good, it would be "child prodigy" title sort of a bit smug, before the entrance all day with a bunch of students playing football. College Entrance Examination Consignee "Department of Microelectronics, Tsinghua University," but also specially marked: the deployment of professional disobedience. This year in our department where only recruit one person, my political does not test well, it came in second, because they do not obey the deployment of special Industry, other professional Qinghua did not admit me. Later, Beijing Forestry University accepted me. I am very grateful that get the job, then , I started to re-examine themselves, to realize the efforts and diligence is the real smart. If I'm smart, I think I'm smart In an "Enlightenment" word. I was lucky in the United States met my teacher Charles Harris. He is a famous architectural design master plan, and also my Foster parent. Professional, he has been my guide is exhausting, life is meticulous concern for me. Every time I'm out Poor, he will personally drove me to the airport and back, rain or shine he was always waiting at the airport waiting to pick me up. once, The plane was delayed more than four hours, he was at the airport waiting for more than four hours, it was raining and I did not know the airport there Old man has been hard waiting. I write every article he must carefully read and save a copy. In fact, many Chinese prose, Essays, poetry, he can only read the middle occasional English word, but this did not affect his enthusiasm for reading. I am going out Version of the anthology title page, I wrote: To my adoptive father Charles Harris. Modern Landscape Design of four stages of development 1, as represented in Olmsted designed Central Park, the United States, so he extended landscape design from the traditional concept of personal services to Service to society. 2, the 1940s was known as the Harvard Four Diamond four designers launched the modernist movement. Its greatest significance lies: from the city Landscape, rural landscape, natural landscape need to address how the proposed 3 aspect more important and practical problems in terms of human. 3, is represented by the famous Dan Kelly, Jan Michael Hudson and summer to build the system's mentor Charles Harris. They regulate a large area Plan, the first computer-aided planning, resulting in a geographic information system model. 4, animation multidimensional landscape planning. Yuka build system was first proposed in their papers. In 1998, Los Angeles, the first use of summer Build dynamic programming system, to create a virtual model of a dynamic city. Here, everything can be in the form of animated demo, gives intuitive visual Feel feelings. For example, a street of the city, there are 10 million vehicles by the effect would be like, how much pressure at this time ecological protection Force, the road can withstand much pressure data will be reflected accordingly.

Who'd have thought pre Gerrard slipping that in 2 years time fans of a championship club would be considering Rodgers for manager.

If they sorted out the front wings it would help a huge amount. They should word the regulations in such a manner that only basic 2 piece wings like the example below are only permitted. The wider bodies and tyres will be welcome but the idiots are increasing the front wing size too which won't help. . I'd do away with DRS too, nothing as boring as DRS overtakes, I'd much rather see a driver struggle for 10 laps to make an overtake than cruise up behind and open their wings. Anyone remember the battle back in the day between Coulthard and Verstappen Snr at Austria where Coulthard couldn't get by in spite of being in a far quicker car, that was great racing.

Worth trying anyway but I'd imagine there would be top tier clubs willing to take him on loan too. Wages might be problematic too. He is a far more complete player than Gayle anyway.

Dwight Gayle should be ruled out for associating with Gabby and Richards in Dubai. Harsh, but there needs to a change of attitude around the place and players like that won't be helpful.
