Fox is Gone

[Dave]

Presumably Paddy Riley is shifting in his seat uncomfortably now.

[ronshirt]

Does that mean he's finished building whatever it was that was going to be special?

[kieron]

T'ra a bit.

[Woofles The Wonder Dog]

I'm more foxed by the news we competed in the Cup Final. I must admit I might have missed the coin toss.

[Mister E]

I'm appreciative to the Board and the owner for the opportunity to help put Villa back on a solid footing

Yeah, right. Solid job there, Tom.
We'll miss you on a cold night in Donnie next season ...

[wozwebs]

Two down, one to go (PR)

[villabear]

Cmon Paddy, you know you want to

[edgysatsuma89]

"I would like to thank the many among the Villa family that have been very kind with their time and support and generous to me on a personal level during my time with the Club. You know who you are and you know how I feel. "

Sounds like not everyone then.

That made me smile. Just like the dressing room.

Good - albeit long overdue. I'd be happier if I had confidence in Lerner to pick a replacement capable of running commercial operations half-decently at a football club, but I doubt if he has the ability to pick his own nose.

[Mister E]

Cmon Paddy, you know you want to

They should have done Paddy today, on Paddy's Day.

[Bottom Right 89]

No doubt he and Almstadt will regroup and reappear with a decent salary elsewhere whilst we scratch around in the rubble looking for survivors to rebuild our club next season. Good riddance you bastards.

[Des Little]

Anyone on here organising a whip round for him?

[Tuscans]

Good - albeit long overdue. I'd be happier if I had confidence in Lerner to pick a replacement capable of running commercial operations half-decently at a football club, but I doubt if he has the ability to pick his own nose.

I don't think he will be making the appointment of any sort from now on. The Olds upstairs are clearing the chaff out so lets hope they bring in some proper wheat.

[Tuscans]

Reilly will be shot off in a few days too.

[PeterWithesShin]

Well I for one feel sorry for him.


Not really, good riddance to him. Seems pretty obvious he was massively out of his depth as a CEO. Hopefully the goon squad stewards won't act like wankers again now he's not dishing out the orders.
