I never saw him in exec seating when I went last night scouting I saw Steve Stride and Brian Little though they was not far from where I was sitting Edited September 19, 2018 by Villan4Life 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Have we heard anyhting from our new CEO? Now I do prefer people who go by quiet with their business compared to the bragging type, but itsn't it normal that a new CEO at least says something? And he doesn't seem to be the quiet type anyway.

Lots of sackings at BMH today with a new guy poised to come in https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6186057/Aston-Villa-sack-seven-members-technical-staff-Steve-Bruce-present.html "Aston Villa sack seven members of technical staff... with Steve Bruce present as Ian Atkins and Co are told they are not needed by new owners" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Quote There had been differences of opinion during the summer over transfer targets, with Bruce favouring a certain style of experienced player while Atkins was eager to promote more youthful players from the continent. No surprise there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted September 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2018 So we eventually sack Bruce, get in a younger manager with fresh ideas who wants younger players from the continent, then we have to sack & hire a load of more people to help the new managers vision, and around in circles we go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, having looked at the exits, I think they are actually being wise. They are building the structure from back to front. This seems to involve freshening ideas throughout the whole footballing area. Eventually there will be enough of a technical and footballing structure in place to accommodate Bruce's departure seamlessly and bring in a "Head Coach" to oversee and move the plan forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Looks like the club are setting up a structure to sit above a head coach. Days could well be numbered for Bruce, unless our results and style of play radically change 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough experience they will probably say as a scout!! only been professional for 15 months now!! The scouting positions will be filled by scouts least 20 years older than me that are probably ex professional players!

Mate, exactly what i have said to clubs when i have pushed players forward that might have been a little tad unrealistic great minds fella Will see but they probably got people like that Macia and his team of scouts under him lined up! Will keep browsing net to see if they ever advertise. As you know i sent my CV to Rongtian He (Ho) via twitter DM last season and he said they will keep in on file.

Plus some silly GDPR rule probably says they can't keep it. I'd send it in again. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
