TheStagMan Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 you mean like give him a year's notice now? We could possibly have done.... "Here you go Steve, here is a year's notice per the terms of your contract. If you get us promoted, you can leave with your head held high - "mutually agreed" or if you do really well we offer you a new contract. " Also then if we decide to sack him during the season then the payout will be less as it would be compensation for the time remaining on his notice period.

villabromsgrove Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 They may have privately told SB that the post of manager will cease in twelve months time and a head coach will be appointed at that time on a two year fixed contract. That would enable them to implement 1 years notice on his rolling contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd need a couple of months notice. Exactly, just kind of seems bizarre that no matter whether he spectacularly fails or not, we have to pay out £££ to get rid. Surely there’s a notice period stipulated in the contract, but alas I’m not legal beagle or privy to such info. What would happen if he wanted to retire? Or quit? So many questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some advantages to being an old (ish) git! I was at the 75, final against Norwich. 10, yrs of age, and even then I had an inkling that Grayson was going to miss the penalty, I can see Keelan diving to knock it on to the post, the rebound seemed harder than the pen, but that's Villa. When have we ever made things easy ? That was some day out, trust me. The beginning of the great reign of Mr, Ron Saunders, what a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Dave, I must say I enjoyed the Gregory years myself. He had a great vision for bringing in players and you could see what he was trying to build for the long term, but working under the restraints of Deadly wasn't easy. Losing Luc Nilis just as de Builde was signed the season after and not being able to sign Carbone where two areas of hard luck for him. I accept Bosko Balaban was the flop and Alpay was a weird one however, Nilis, Merson, Angel, Schmeichal & Mellberg where some of the great signings he did make. Anyway, walking away from memory lane and back on topic.. Bruce out! Edited August 1, 2018 by AvfcRigo82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave me the Villa, what a beautiful gift, looking at a packed Holte - End with wide - eyed amazement, thinking John Gidman was the coolest geezer on the planet, that was some Perm, Dave. I even seen him in a Chinese up Boldmere, totally star struck. The best right back I've had the privilege of watching, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter who it is......they have their moments of offensive play, we have to defend against it.....rarely can a team go gungho for 90 odd minutes. Containment is part and parcel of any teams armoury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All went to shit eventually but you'd have to go back to Graham Taylor MK1 for the last time a Manager didn't leave us because things had gone to shit. (MoN jumped just before it went to shit, he obviously saw it coming). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to stand corrected Carbone played with Merson and Dublin in the cup run where we lost in the 99 final. Remember the Leeds 3-2 at VP earlier in the run where Carbone hit that hat trick, Merson went off bleeding after setting up the third. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
