ahamaad Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Even tho aktins has done a good job as caretaker I'd rather have MON in for the start of the season. Atkins? Has he gone on a diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPAngel Posted August 4, 2006 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2006 haha! Did anyone notice what he said about "resources being available"? Wonder how much? I hope Dougs booted before MON gets chance to spend his money and rather spend RL's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattley Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Gavin, some people on here better informed than me assure us Doug had NOTHING to do with hiring MON other than assuring him that he wont be around for long. The thing is BOF, Ellis said 'I didnt contact any other manager, MON was the guy i wanted and he's here now' I know Ellis is an old piss pants clearing in the woods but I dont think he would blatently lie in front of all the media in the UK like that. Im pretty sure that the appointment was Ellis prefered option but he had to ok it through all the consortia interested in buiying the club before it was made official, hence the long wait. Another point is that people have reported Lerner flying into the UK tomorrow for take over talks, if thats the case why is Ellis flying to Germany tomorrow!!!???

Ellis has done that before all the time !!! as for your comment Lerner is already here, all negotiations done with Rothschilds and Ellis literally flying out and back again for Monday, normally he likes these away days.

BOF Posted August 4, 2006 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2006 Just because he was Ellis' preferred option doesn't mean Ellis got him. He has said before that he wouldn't work under Ellis, and there are a fair few on here who don't expect that he ever will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 He has said before that he wouldn't work under Ellis When did he actually say that though? I can understand it being true, but all ive seen are rumours regarding this issue - no quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot believe that O'Neill would work under Ellis for any length of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has said before that he wouldn't work under Ellis, and there are a fair few on here who don't expect that he ever will. I agree with what your saying BOF but I never read quotes from MON saying he would 'never work under Ellis'. I still think Ellis definaetly wanted MON for our manager but stand by my theory that he had to ok it through all 4 consortia. I agree...... I cannot believe that O'Neill would work under Ellis for any length of time. But the sad fact is that HE IS!!! :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattley Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 as for your comment Lerner is already here, all negotiations done with Rothschilds and Ellis literally flying out and back again for Monday, normally he likes these away days. Is that a definate? Has anyone seen Lerner in the UK or seen his Jet at the airport? If he is here what do you reckon his schdule is? meeting wit rothschilds? meeting with the Villa board? And what do you think is being discussed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runetune Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 or seen his Jet at the airport? It is known from here that his jet arrived at Luton this morning. So the assumption is that Lerner or his close associates are back in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
