Gompedyret Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Are we likely to ever find out what happened? According to The Telegraph same thing has happened in Colchester as well, whatever that is. Could be difficult to keep this totally under wraps.

useless Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 This Michael Rafter guy played for them at Colchester MichaelRafter9 Ronnie ♧☆ Not surprised to hear whats going on at villa, happened in colchester too #Gangsters Although if that's true would make you wonder why Lambert would still work with them at Norwich and here.

LondonLax Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Sounds like they are ok to have around when things are going well but turn into proper bullies when the pressure is really on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Are we likely to ever find out what happened? Up there with why Saunders left the champions of England to manage the rags over the road, and who really wrote that letter under O'Leary. A mystery.

Big_John_10 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 A very strange situation. There must have been issues but the end of season form once they left suggests it's not all down to these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted May 24, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2014 A very strange situation. There must have been issues but the end of season form once they left suggests it's not all down to these two. Obviously not but then I'm not sure anyone thinks it is.

romavillan Posted May 24, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) any more info? EDIT: yup! http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/culverhouse-dismissed-by-villa-30300814.html Aston Villa have dismissed assistant manager Ian Culverhouse following an investigation that followed his suspension in April. Former Norwich player Culverhouse, who previously worked alongside Villa manager Paul Lambert at Carrow Road and at Colchester, was suspended in April due to disciplinary issues. At the time, owner Randy Lerner referred to "unexpected issues that could have very easily set the club back". Press Association Sport understands Villa have now sacked the 49-year-old, with Lambert now seeking a new number two. Villa have also sacked head of football operations Gary Karsa, whose career at the club was also put on hold in April after he too faced allegations relating to off-field issues. Culverhouse and Karsa were the subject of separate internal investigations by the club, with Karsa understood to have been the first of the pair to lose his job earlier this month.... text added by mods Edited May 24, 2014 by blandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted May 24, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2014 It's going to be tough to find a number 2 unless he has some guarantees he is staying on regardless of new owner. No-one decent is going to come in if it's just for a month or two of preseason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 This close season could not get any more turbulent. So much negativity around our club, we need something positive to come out It's going to be tough to find a number 2 unless he has some guarantees he is staying on regardless of new owner. No-one decent is going to come in if it's just for a month or two of preseason... Especially when an apparent takeover could be happening at any time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Biro Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 He'll probably just promote from within, Lerner isn't going to sanction two new staff members right now i wouldn't have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word on the curb is he wants one coach and one assistant manager, the latter being at another club at the moment apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the sale is going on, I can't see them getting new pair until the deal is completed, unless new owners are keeping Lambert, which would be bad.
