Told y'all so. That reminds me, that was the other bit of anti-Riley briefing I read in the Sunday press, about the Bundesliga scout living in Australia. I think there was also mention of the Spanish/Portuguese scout turning out to be a journalism student. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read this, so Reilly has a close relationship with Lerner an is married to a key member of the finance team. Bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 the fact that Riley has outlasted 2 managers who couldnt do much with the players he mainly assembled means he has to go for me. As much as I think Traore is an exciting player and could be good for future he was a vanity signing for me, especially in the situation we are in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 A journo needs to get to one of theses guys and get to the bottom of the reasons for leaving. The boot is already in from the letters so all they will do is being clarity and it is badly needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan_007 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I should of known better. I found it ridiculous that a scout could cause so much trouble. Sometimes I forget we're Aston Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The adama part is absolutely shocking from riley noway he will he be staying if his wages go up by 20,000. What a ludicrous clause in oyr position. A sackable offence alone.can his incompetence get any worse? Yet people question stan on the moyes story?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug didn't work hard to get him in, Doug stood next to him when he arrived and smiled for the cameras. 6 hours ago, DCJonah said: Interested in how you know that? That was fairly common knowledge to most people following the club around the time of the takeover. The usual Doug Ellis type of behavior making himself out to look better than is is. O'Neil would never have agreed to come to Villa to work for him. He came because Ellis was leaving. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well well well, seems like Riley may well have been key to some of the latest shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
