Gary Thomas Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/new-aston-villa-chief-steve-7325271 New Aston Villa chief Steve Hollis must strip club back to its foundations - and rebuild from the ground up. Steve Hollis. Remember the name. It belongs to the man with the most difficult job in English football. Appointed chairman last month, he is charged with rebuilding the crumbling institution known as Aston Villa Football Club. As has become the norm at Villa Park during the past six years, Hollis comes with little knowledge of the inner workings of the game. But, as the head of a well-known management consultancy, he carries a reputation among the business community for banging a few heads together in pursuit of the greater good. If that’s the case, his only real problem is where to start. Today, readers, we can save him some expensive time...............................

Rodders Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) his fairly peremptory dismissal of remi garde is daft. The least of our present problems, and frankly smacks of mild xenophobia - "he doesn't know the championship" etc, lazy presumptions. These are **** professional people. The more you read you more you feel like Moxley is a ventriloquist with Sherwoods fist rammed firmly up his anus, such is the shameless attempt to defend him and all that. Honestly this transfer committee lark gets far more publicity than it's worth. Edited February 7, 2016 by Rodders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Did I really hear the comms on our game yesterday saying that was the first time we've been 2 up in a league game this season....unless he just meant games at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember cause it's so rare! Also mentioned that Gil is our top goalscorer in the league with 2..... Seems they couldn't be bothered to research Rudy's 4 and Ayew's 5 goals.... (not that they're great records either) I don't think there's any art (or credibility) in sports journalism nowadays. It appears all too easy now for the media to be dismissive with throwaway stats and 'twitter-fuelled' information. I found the most cringeworthy thing recently was Sky Sports News (the bastions of professional sports journalism) using a computer game to describe stats on signings during the transfer window. How small time and embarassing was that!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
