Seat68 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Ah a rehash of sunderland all over again, a close close mate of mine is a sunderland supporter and he was desperate for us to go down last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I think Norwich fans are missing some important info when claiming that Culverhouse and Karsa are not coming to Villa, which is that Lambert has not announced his backroom team yet. Correct me if I'm wrong but this is a little strange if we're not getting his backroom team from Norwich as surely he would just go out and appoint, or at least try and appoint, these positions from coaches already on the market. It's more a matter of when as opposed to if we will sign Culverhouse and Karsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle fans absolutely despise us after the signs we made when we relegated them... ive got 3 very close friends who are Geordies and they have to hold back their venom when they talk to me about Villa... i got some serious abuse walking out of St James after we got thrashed 6-0... probably shouldn't have had the same flag hanging out my jeans pocket though :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieB Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 However, may I clear they're contract doubts up. They don't expire on the 31st of this month, they're rolling contracts, ie. continuious Pedant alert: June only has 30days. Oh believe me I have, after all, we upgraded our gaffer!

abc123cox Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 this is MatKendricks view on it all.... he is by MM's word one of the most ITK's around... Aston Villa await decisions on backroom staff Aston Villa will await with interest developments over the futures of Paul Lambert’s trusted backroom staff at Norwich. Euro 2012 Betting Odds - Bet at Blue Square Lambert would like to bring coaches and close confidants Ian Culverhouse and Gary Karsa with him to Bodymoor Heath. But he is relaxed about the situation, providing his support team is in place in good time for pre-season on July 5. Much could depend on what happens with the Canaries, where former Blues boss Chris Hughton was named as Lambert’s successor yesterday. Hughton has taken his own staff to Carrow Road, including assistant Colin Calderwood, first-team coach Paul Trollope and chief scout Ewan Chester. Norwich must now decide the futures of Culverhouse and Karsa, who were Lambert’s assistant and head of football operations respectively at the Canaries, having previously worked with him at Wycombe and Colchester. Villa’s backroom team consists of first team coaches Gordon Cowans and Kevin MacDonald, goalkeeping coach Terry Gennoe, fitness coach Adrian Lamb, chief scout Paul Montgomery and chief medical officer Dr Ian McGuinness. Lambert will meet his staff over the next week as well as moving from his home in East Anglia to the Midlands, with the new manager intent on wasting no time stamping his mark on the club.

Actually a few of us from Dubai go to Beirut for the odd weekend as it's an amazing party town with some awesome bars and clubs. I did used to work in Coventry a few years back. Rubbish.

TRO Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I have a suspicion we have a Saunders Mark 2 on our hands and I think some of the players may be in for a rude awakening. I think PL will be ruthless in his pursuit of success, much like Saunders was and if he gets any kind of kind of notion that a player is happy with mediocrity, they will be history. I remember a conversation in the Aero club when I was friendly with Andy Gray and Bobby MacDonald...Bobby called Andy over and said "Tell the lads Andy" has the Gaffa spoke to me in 3 weeks Andy replied "no" Ron had his way, not saying its right. The fact was Ron was only interested in winners, Bobby unfortunately in Rons eyes was a bit peripheral despite me liking the lad a lot. PS For the old uns who are interested....was with Bobby recently at a mates 60th still looks as fit as a butchers dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
