Talk of Wynnes, Commoli and RDM doesn't exactly scream revival. When Wyness was CEO Everton's average league position was 6th.. Not too bad ey? Commoli may be declared a failure by fans at Liverpool who expect far too much but would you say no to many of the players he signed? In our position right now? RDM a Champions League winning manager that hasn't done too badly at any club he's managed, yes he's not amazing but we're hardly ones to be picky right now. I could think of a lot worse than a combination of those three. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Certainly better than what we currently have. Yes, be careful what you wish for and all that, but no matter who buys us that is always going to be the case until enough time has passed that we can judge their level of success. What choice do we have, really? We can't get much worse than being run into the ground by an incompetent, disinterested owner. We'd be relegated again at this rate anyway, might as well have some optimism that owners who are actually willing to vest and take an interest are on the horizon, whomever they may be.

terrytini Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Wyness, Corleone, and Chinese owners. I'm not sure that is bad at all. Not wild about RDM but he's not the awful appointment some seem to think....not convinced it'll be him anyway, Moyes fits this scenario better.

KSV Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Moyes still hasn't signed as manager anywhere has he? Could be waiting for our owners announcement. I would think the owners would go all out to get the best attainable. Wyness has an Everton link. Moyes may be happy to be able to use a bit of money to spend even though we may be in the championship. I am not sold on Moyes personally but we need a manager who the current crop of players that stay would actually respect and he would be able to get the best of. Would mean Lescott would stay though............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Wyness surely would be pushing for moyes. With Newcastle now keeping rafa the moyes-rafa rivalry could be intensified 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season he got West Brom promoted they scored 89 goals in the league. RDM gets flak for being defensive but he was only truly defensive minded at Chelsea to combat Bayern Munich and Barcelona. So yeah likewise given the names talked about aside from maybe Moyes I would take RDM any day over the likes of Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~5576245,00.html Aston Villa Football Club can confirm today that Adrian Bevington has decided to leave his advisory position with the Club.Bevington joined the Club to review and evaluate the managerial position and playing staff at Villa Park in March. Aston Villa Chairman Steve Hollis said: "I'd like to place on record my thanks to Adrian for his contribution and professionalism. "Over a short period of time, he has provided a great deal of football knowledge and experience - both to the Club and to me personally. "Adrian gave me his word he would remain with the Club until the end of the season. Now that time has come we wish him well for the future with his various football commitments." Adrian Bevington said: "I explained to Steve Hollis a few weeks ago that I would not be looking to take on a full-time role with the Club, but agreed to remain as an advisor until the end of the season. "I know how hard Steve is working on a number of levels and I hope he can conclude the ownership and managerial positions very soon. "I have enjoyed working with Steve and Brian Little - a man who clearly cares so much for the Club and will do everything he can to help it succeed. "I'd also like to make particular reference to Eric Black. Eric has been a true professional to work with after taking on the manager's role in the most difficult circumstances. "There is a huge amount of work ahead for Aston Villa FC. A Club of its size with its great support should be competing at the higher levels of the Premier League, not in the position it currently finds itself. "To move forward, now more than ever, it is crucial the Club makes the right calls on the big decisions it is faced with. "I wish everyone at Aston Villa FC and its supporters every success for the future." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) I’m surprised Bevington stayed on as long as he did after Bernstein left. If the club is on the verge of being sold then it is hard to know what Bevington and Little for that matter are actually doing. I wouldn't be surprised to see Little leave in the coming days. I don’t have a clue what he has done but fair play to Bevington he has said some nice things about the club and let’s hope, as he suggested, that the club will have a new owner and manager very soon.
