Midfielder Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 This was posted on the BBC a few hours ago about Lee Johnson declaring his hat isn't in the ring, i have picked out this paragraph below. So, the list narrows, but that aside... This bit i have highlighted is interesting. Sure that gets done every time but even more important at the moment for employing clubs what with the Telegraph / police / HMRC stuff to come. Taking that extra time to screen the candidates... worth it. "Aston Villa have interviewed no-one yet for the vacant manager's job, with none planned until next week. "Background checks and due diligence are still being done on the favoured candidates and Villa have to consider if an approach should be made to clubs employing any of those.

Admittedly he was being picked up off the floor at the time so maybe he didn't understand the question. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) So Tom Ross believes Aston Villa's problems run deeper than the dug out. Without the Villa Fan in their dug out, they would nearly be extinct, so he can shove that theory. as Einstein said " same mistakes, same results" Well we have changed just about every mortal soul.....but we are still looking for a manager to organise us and blend us. He is intimating that its the players, that miss chances and concede goals, not managers. .....But who sets them up, who buys them, who blends them, who selects them ,who trains them, who develops them, who analyses them, who tells them when they are doing wrong, who praises them? The buck stops at that door, whether we like it or not. I think Tom has been sharing too many Gin and Tonics over the years and has clouded his judgment. We have had years under Lerner of getting things wrong.....Tony has had his first taste of it.....lets not kick him just yet, he has got one wrong.

Never liked him as a pundit and he's always come across as a monumental bellend. And as you say, it wouldn't surprise me if he hasn't seen a single second of our games under RDM. **** him and Tony Butler (another one that used to boil my piss)* ***** hell, i've got a right cob on today.

I have nothing personally against him....but they just come out due to their media status have minute responsibility for their comments and talk drivel about something that he appears he has done little research on .....he is no better than the players he criticises for letting the manager down. He supposed to be a journalist and comes out with a bucket load of platitudes. ps sorry off topic Edited October 6, 2016 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield fans may say he would be mad to join us and the Huddersfield board may say they hope to keep him, but that means nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
