ponsaelius Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hughton would disappoint me abandoning brum for villa. Think he owes them another season. No Europe and they could make a serious push for automatic promotion Been rumours of a firesale, transfer embargos and potential points deductions.

brummie Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Also good to see none of that mutual consent bullshit. He's been "terminated". Good old fashioned sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I don't get the Lambert hype, but can defintely see him being the replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Most important thing was to bin McLeish. Plenty still thought he'd stay. The fact they've booted him out less than 24 hours after the end of the season is to be rejoiced about (if you're me). Also to be rejoiced is Heskey has left the club. Honestly, could this week get any better? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Norwich supporting mates are proper nervous that Lambert will leave them, Villa-supporting technician is elated McLeish has gone. Been quite a contrasting day, plenty of 'banter'. LADS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Wait, Heskey has left? aw man Cuellar and Heskey both played their last games yesterday. During the match - hundreds dressed in Cuellar wigs, masks and t shirts, after, Cuellar spends half an hour with the fans, giving out shirts, having photos taken etc. Heskey - apart from a few choruses of "he's Emile Heskey, he scores when he wants" which were entirely taking the piss, obv, everyone relieved to see the back of him.

TaylorJ_01 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 From what I've read it said Heskey's contract 'would not be being renewed' (making it sound like the clubs choice) even though McLeish was still starting him every week. Must have been good for motivation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 So has Cuellar been good? Another dead weight signing from MoN. £7.8 million and then gone on a free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 He was class at Rangers. MoN bought him and never played him and when he did it was usually at right-back for some reason (while Beye sat on the bench). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Villa are just a club in bottom half purgatory. Very hard to get out of as the culture just gets stuck in the club. In need of very dramatic change. They might tread water for a couple of seasons with an alright manager but it will go downhill again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Dalglish Gullit Robson Souness Roeder Allardyce Keegan Kinnear Hughes Mancini McLeish ? Whoever takes over will be Given's 12th full-time manager in 15 years. Ridiculous considering one manager was there for a third of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoN bought him and never played him and when he did it was usually at right-back for some reason (while Beye sat on the bench). I was looking at RTG last week, and they were talking about Cuellar and why he'd fallen from grace. One bloke said "not helped by that prick McLeish playing him at RB all the time" - totally missing the point that McLeish played him both at RB and CB, and it was "that prick" O'Neill who played him at RB all the time.

In need of very dramatic change. They might tread water for a couple of seasons with an alright manager but it will go downhill again. Not really. We've had three top six finishes, a ninth place, and a hellish season just now. If you want to know precisely what the biggest problem has been the last two years, I'll tell you. Lerner and co, having thrown money at it, and had a strong manager who ran the whole shebang on the football side, did no wrong for three or four years. Then the manager left in spiteful circumstances, and they were left to "run" the football side themselves, and were shown up as woefully out of their depth. I bet we don';t just change manager, I bet you what you like we get a "football person" in at board level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
