wazzap24 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Of course the Doc should have a say on who comes in. If I owned the club, you can be damn sure I'd be making the final call, and the only person from VT I would ever listen to would be @Con and his folder of heat maps. The rest of you don't know your Ronaldo's from your Ronald Macdonalds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and I wonder what he makes of RDM saying "12 months isn't long enough to judge " ! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I don't think for one minute the Doc is involved in deciding who we go for in any direct way - its not in his interests, it wouldn't please RDM, it doesn't fit the idea of having football people (like Wyness as CEO). Even Abramovich only interfered once, to get Shevchenko - it is very rare for them to actually interfere. Final say though ? Maybe. TBH as long as all those involved ar ehappy with however we are doing it, I'm fine with whatever it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 It's good that Tony is being proactive, but I think he is in danger of treading on other people's toes and undermining their jobs. I've worked with people who try to get involved with everything and all it does is annoy the staff and causes them to look for another job due to being micro-managed. If this project is going to be a success then he needs to let people do the jobs they are hired to do and trust their judgement. Scouting players then vetoing the move because he doesn't like the look of them is clearly overstepping boundaries. If this behaviour carries on I think it is not going to end well for Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godders Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 This is a guy who's said that he gets the right people in the right positions and let's them do their jobs. He's not done a lot wrong since he bought the club, so it's pretty obvious that taking on the role of chief scout and deciding who we should and shouldn't sign is completely out of character. Far too much is being read into this imo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the phrase is 'Actions speak louder than words'—Tony has spent money, so he's got the actions covered. There's not much more he could do realistically. As a chairman I don't know how I could fault him. I do hope the performances improve however. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it sounds good from the point of view that he knows there is a problem that will not necessarily be addressed by throwing players at it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
