Popular Post BOF Posted June 2, 2016 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'm far more enthused by this whole appointment off the back of the identity of his number 2 as I am of the man himself. Having Clarke in as assistant is huge IMO. Plus as I've said earlier, the fact we've landed RDM tells me the takeover is much more likely to go through. So that's another big positive about this news. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam3773 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'm genuinely excited. RDM and Steve Clarke as a management team, new owner with money (rumour has it).. Could be a good season.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Good news on Clarke. He wont take any sh1t from Fatty Gabby or Richards. Just what we needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Takeover - check New manager - check Fit and Proper - pending Now it's only shipping out, keeping hold of and buying in to go... Welcome RDM. Please let this be the start of something big. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limpid Posted June 2, 2016 Administrator Share Posted June 2, 2016 If it gets confirmed on the OS, can someone start a new thread please? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Clarke as assistant is inspired. They know each other, they've both had (relative) success as managers and they both know what it takes to succeed on the pitch. This is a very encouraging appointment.

Daweii Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I think this appointment largely means fit and proper is done it's just ironing out formalities. We likely wouldn't be appointing RDM if everything was set to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Wonder if delay with OS is that they are trying to announce everything together, takeover ratified etc. Either that or it's just our usual slow Villa trying to address a cock up or put press together. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanO Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Well at least we now have a manager and an assistant, just need a new owner, new squad..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Very good appointment in my view. You're never going to please everyone but I think Di Matteo and Clarke is as good as we could have hoped for given our current situation. I certainly expect a more attacking team with more goals scored, if nothing else. Wishing the new management team all the best, and hope they get good backing by the new board.

meme Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 New management/coaching setup is something a large mid-table Premier League team (aka Southampton, Stoke) would be lucky to get, let alone a Championship team in large need of some repairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPAngel Posted June 2, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 2, 2016 Very please with RDM and Clarke! It's interesting that the BBC have said that Clarke will take on the hands-on approach for the squad don't you think? I wonder what role Di Matteo will play in this?
