heffoman Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Again brilliant listen. Comes across as a really likeable and genuine bloke. Was really extremely badly treated by Villa for all the loyalty he showed them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 A great listen/watch. Some interesting observations of all of the (many) managers he had at Villa. Lambert, Di Matteo, and Garde didn't sound like good man managers. He did sound genuinely choked when we let him go, but I don't think he could have done a job in the prem with us by 2019.

No wonder we heard rumors of a serious dressing room rift coming out that season. Had clear favorites and shared confidential information with the teacher's pets, alienating other senior pros in the squad. He'd call Gabby/Richards/Lescott into his office and tell them about signings they're working on getting over the line, then wondered why lineups were getting leaked before the game. Sherwood sweeping his office for bugs when Gabby was off blabbing his mouth to half of Bodymoor Heath is peak stupidity. Can't make this stuff up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys at claret and blue podcast have really stepp up their game in the last year or so. This is a great watch. Sounded like he wanted to talk for even longer Really enjoyed this, thanks for posting it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Hutton said we became a possession-based side with no attacking intent. He went along with the cost-cutting to keep his job until we had to sack him, probably about a year too late. He brought in Lowton to replace Hutton and then 2 years later sold him on to bring Hutton back into the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still not convinced the cost cutting was fully in place at the start under lambert (Hutton himself implied it wasn’t all on the owners). Lambert was thought was utterly clueless. Hutton mentioned how we didn’t have a shot, god I remember those games. It was diabolical. Lambert made me lose interest in football, and for that will always go down as our worst manager for me.

At the risk of going off topic all of the buys in summer 2012 were outside of the premier league. The bomb squad included high wage earners like Bent and Given. Hutton was on less but probably still a decent wack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton was immediately removed yet Bent and Given started his first few games. Bent was even made captain Hutton didn't have an attitude problem so was really no excuse for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 What a great interview, and what a sound fella Hutton sounds like. I completely forgot about his Mallorca loan, haha, such a random move that was. Does credit steve bruce quite a bit, just as a trigger warning for some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I'm listening to it at 1.25x speed. Hutton sounds perfect, but whenever the hosts start talking, it's absolute gibberish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) Really enjoying listening to this. Great to hear some insight into this time at Villa. He is like Forrest Gump being in the background of all these major Villa events. Fully agree that Hutton should have been kept on for that first season back up. Way too much turnover. Himself and Jedinak would have been great to have. Only reason Villa didn't go down that season was because of Covid.

sidcow Posted April 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2023 Still stunned that not one of them fouled him. I would be furious if one of theirs waltzed through the heart of our team like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
