sne Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Had a feeling he would not stick aRound once Wyness was binned. Still, shame to lose "one of the brightest young minds in football" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Sacking Round has no consequences. Any summer transfer targets (if we can make any) will have already been discussed. Sacking Bruce - whether you want him or not - would be suicide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Maybe it's a precursor to a new owner coming in with a management team already in place. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Jeez, we are a joke. I am actually beyond caring, there is no way back from where we are, our worst fears have come true. Worst of all I think there is worse to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlydion Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The Telegraph states that Round had shown the potential US investors (the £30M for 30% crowd) around BMH and was their contact within Villa. My guess is that this undoubtedly has something to do with his dismissal (if it is true that Wyness was sacked for a similar reason). As to why it has taken so long for this to come to light is unknown but it does seem a bit too coincidental for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I have no idea how anyone at all on this site can pretend to know whether he did a good job or not. So many people confident he 'did nothing'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Propaganda to suggest to the fans that plans were in place to get our act together and the club functioning as a proper football entity. The reality seemingly being that the extent of the planning in regard to the Villa Engine, was the most basic research in what supporters desire there club to be modeled on. I think it's pretty clear that the actions and words of Xia and Wyness were contradictory to their actions. I'd go as far to say that there was nothing implemented in the mould of what was spouted in this Villa Engine, only the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These threads are just full of people pretending they know what these people do, and then pretending they know whether they’ve done it well or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These threads are just full of people pretending they know what these people do, and then pretending they know whether they’ve done it well or not. While there's truth to what you're saying, I think it a little on the harsh side, and not because it might potentially offend someone, rather that supporters do have a loose idea of events, certainly enough to know if something is succeeding or not. So even though the speculation and two cents can be touted with a little more conviction than it warrants, I wouldn't say it's beyond supporters to judge whether or not someone has fared well at the club. Am I a CEO? No. Have I read about what the roles and responsibilities are of a CEO, specific to football? I have. Do I know what transpired behind closed doors? Absolutely not. I think this would be applicable to the average supporter. They have some clue as to what's gone on, then the rest is left to the imagination.
