I am 100% sure Smith didnt want him or MacPhee and preferred to keep ROK and Terry

Definitely Purslow calls for me

Another thing people forget when they talk about it was right he was sacked. 

Not only major injuries and losing our captain in the summer but also the coaching staff completely changed.

What was all that yesterday about them sacking 10 staff or something like that?
Was that true?

Also seen a picture on twitter today with a member of staff holding up Gerrard's/villas Tactics boards. How do staff get away with doing that?

It was fake news - the account holder got called out and deleted their account

that's all well and good but i'm yet to see fan accounts like that AVFC faithful who spread said rumour then go back and set the record straight. they jump all over these and spread the nonsense but take no accountability, meanwhile causing more unrest with the fanbase

at least villareport just sticks to things actually written by journos

I've always been curious as to why the club don't list the coaching staff on the club website.

It would be good to see how we compare with other clubs since we are always talking about being ambitious.

I know we would employ plenty of others within the academy staff but how does this list compare to other teams staff ?

Sporting Director : Johan Lange

Head Coach : Steven Gerrard

Assistant : Neil Critchley

Assistant : Gary MCallister

GK Coach : Neil Cutler

Technical Coach : Tom Culshaw

Set Pieces Coach : Austin MacPhee

Coach : Aaron Danks

Head of Fitness and Conditioning : Jordan Milsom

Performance Director : Jeremy Oliver

Physical Performance Scientist : Aman Singh Shergill

Strength and Conditioning Coach : Oli Stevenson

Physical Performance Coach : Patrick Moore

Head of Nutrition : Marcus Hannon

Psychologist : Martin Littlewood

Head of Sport Medicine and Science : Ricky Shamji

Lead Physio : Alan Smith

Physio : Steven Polley

Physio : Rob Marshall

Operations Manager : Matt Bennett

Player Care Manager : Phil Roscoe

Loan Player Manager : Mile Jedinak

Development Coach : Nick Haycock

Academy Manager : Sean Verity

Probably a good time to highlight this again.

What appears to be an incredibly bloated set up?  32 names on this list.

I’m still puzzled as to what Aaron Danks is offering us? 

I wonder if some or all Premier League clubs have a similar number of people working for them?

thats the main thing, take it in context of other clubs, would expect some scouts and analysts to be missing too and maybe some of it subbed out to third parties

from that list id guess only 8 of them are out on the training pitch telling them how to kick a football - gerrard, gmac, critchley, danks, culshaw, mcphee, milsom + cutler for the keepers

also as a side when lange out becomes popular again you can see from that list just how many people come under his umbrella
