TheDon Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 17 days until Mark Hughes is appointed Aston Villa manager... Anyone got the latest odds for Hughes (sorry cant get onto bookie sites at work). I think its about time I start getting some money on him about 3/1 Cheers, time to treble my money! 4/1 on betfair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'm glad someone brought this up. Can anyone explain to me why we had to pay anyone off if .. 1. O'Neill resigned as we've been told he did from the off. 2. Houllier wasn't fit enough to continue, as we've been told. Surely neither of those situations require a payout ? 1. They bought MON's silence. Constructive dismissal or whatever. MON clearly got what he wanted out of this tribunal and no one has heard a thing about it. 2. Houllier was cleared to return by some of the doctors, he could have been advised by the club that they'd prefer to follow another route, so he got his compo too. All IMO of course. The club paid MON off to drop the constructive dissmissal claim rather than face publication of the full facts. The High Court has a nasty habbit of printing copies of judgements in such cases and i fear that would have been a greater embarassement. MON obviously values his bank balance higher than his "principles" Bullshit. The club did wrong by him and he got his due compensation. If he simply resigned for no reason then he wouldn't be entitled to a penny. The fact he keeps his mouth shut is because he's a respectable man.

BG_Villa_Fan Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 if mcleish does take it he has bigger balls than more of us thats for sure Agree. It'd be some sort of a new-found admiration from me if he has the ball to take the job. Don't think he would though. Don't believe he'd be offered the job either because no sane businessman would do it. I still consider Lerner sane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardvillan Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I am getting a little fed up of listening to all this smokescreen and mirrors crap!! Indeed . Its just a mixture of bad press from journalists and bad PR from club . Smoke and mirrors my arse. Its true isn't it. Can't go a day without it being mentioned. But, your right; a combination of SHOCKING press from Neil Noncely, Matt Flaw, & Tom Dross, along with the club either getting themselves into a right mess & not having the coverage to admit their mistakes, or it is a stroke of genius. But it is NOT smoke and mirrors. Please guys. So many conspiracy theories have been flying about; I am beginning to question my own sanity.

ChrisNichollsToe Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Just spoken to someone at the club and the official line is they cannot keep releasing statements every 5mins because the press don't have a clue who is going to be the manager. Randy and Paul are aware about the fans views on McLeish but they will not comment on it or any other manager. Also pleaded with them to ban Neil Moxley from the CLUB. You just phoned em up? Been e-mailing them consistently to express my concerns and now they've phoned me. Well done Villa 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why he keeps his mouth shut as his stock has fallen because of this. The compo must've been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello again :wink: He's kepy his mouth shut because he knew he wouldn't get a penny if he didn't and now part of the pay off means he HAS to keep it shut. There was no "honour" in stitching us up like he did and I'd love to know how he was "wronged?" Then again, I'm only a newbie..... what could I know.

The fact he keeps his mouth shut is because he's a respectable man. youre dead right, we shouldve let him keep signing players like sidwell and beye and putting them on contracts worth more than £45k a week despite not playing them another few years of that and we'd undoubtedly have reached the promised land of administration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
