RM was not offered the job merely the opportunity to be interviewed. This information was circulated by his Chairman and out of loyalty or perhaps an intelligent understanding of his own capabilities he declined this opportunity.Sniping is something we get used to especially from the London centric media but when such articles are written on our doorstep it appears a litter more sinister and maybe hiding a more parochial anti Villa agenda!I would wager Villa will begin next season in better order than you might imagine. 9th when in turmoil is a better achievement than the ‘messiah’ had achieved previously.I cant understand why our fans buy into nonsense like that article!
I think someone hit the nail on the head the other night.Villa have been superb in this - haven't leaked a drop - very professional.Sky make a hell of a lot of money via Sky bet - and Talk Sport via their association with Paddy Power - by reporting this the way they are doing, is earning them a fortune.But the truth is - they know sod all !
That manager will be a second choice and he and the players will know it.
Just laugh at it - when we appoint the manager - people will call them taking the pee - the same as in January when Micky "I am a big fat slob who lived in Hill End" Quinn said we had no money and had to sell players the day before we bought a 24m quid striker !
I know i shouldnt listen to the station,and i shouldnt let him annoy me,but when the rumour first broke about him staying at Wigan, Mick Quinn said its because' he can hold out and get a bigger job'. Bigger job?? If it wasn't for the last day of the season and West Ham being useless he'd be a Championship manager right now. I'm not having a go at Martinez,he seems a decent bloke,an its nice to see some loyalty still in the game. I dont like to use this anti villa line,but Quinn is,some of the things he said about GH were completely out of order. Then on twitter,Darren Lewis was bringing up the old line about lack of funds for O'Neill. Can the tube not count. Rant over.
