Stratvillan Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Not the greatest manager at VP, but was ahead of his time. Celtic fans hold him in higher regard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Just now, Stratvillan said: Not the greatest manager at VP, but was ahead of his time. Celtic fans hold him in higher regard. It was an interesting appointment at the time. It didn’t quite work out but a foreign manager was reasonably rare at the time. Ground breaking stuff from AVFC again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didiersix Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 RIP Dr Jo. Like others have said, he was probably too far ahead of his time for us when appointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withes_shin Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I remember going to the opening of Bescot Stadium when the first official game played there was Walsall vs Villa, and if my fading memory serves me correctly it was also Dr. Jo's first game in charge.

villa89 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Ahead of his time, I remember a story of him at Villa wanting players to do warm downs instead of going for a blast of pints after a match. Needless to say it didn't go down well with the players at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pez1974 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 RIP Dr Jo. May have been the right man, but was at the wrong time. Seemed like a good person, and he gave us memories and never shirked his work. You can't ask for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
