Villa enlist Glenn Roeder

[PaulWinch again]

Surely this is a bit of a non-story, so what?

[Bosco81]

Presumably if we'd appointed Ian Taylor we'd be saying what a genius appointment it is.

[pauliewalnuts]

the worry is GH / GM will listen to any advice he offers
As surely thats the point in employing him ?
Crazy move

Do you ever, ever give it a rest, FFS?

I wouldn't. Coaching and management ability comes first, it's nice to have previous links to the club but it's not a pre-requisite.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

He was a close friend of Gascoigne, don't know if that's still the case.

You want us to enlist Raoul Moat ?
Think thats a non starter now.

[Bosco81]

Exactly, the guy is only going to see how the likes of Newcastle line up when they take a corner, something I'm quite pleased we are getting a bit of advice from an experienced coach on.

[olaftab]

Oh dear...Glen Roedear!

[ozzjim]

Don't see an issue. Indeed if Roeder came in as a coach and got us to keep 3 clean sheets between now and may coaching our defence, which he has a reputationfor being a good coach - would happily take it.

Couldn't agree more.

So, let's see after the weekend then?

When a PLC is struggling, they normally get a big hitter in (even if only in a non exec type role) so that the message it sends out is a positive one and the share price is stimulated etc

What we've done here is the exact opposite. Thank God not many of the press have picked up on it (yet)

I understand we've got a new security man starting this week. They haven't said much about that, either.

It's madness. He used to work in Waterstones when I was robbing the place blind in my heyday. All the players' wallets will be going missing, you mark my words.

It should be someone with a connection to the club, like Noel Blake.

Has he joined from Brinks-Mat?

Aye, he's your man for spotting the inside job.

[oodman]

Lol it gets worse. Is he taking the piss??
