AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

Why appoint a DoF now and risk alienating potential managerial candidates who may not fancy working under such a structure?

Maybe any manager coming in have/will buy into the DOF concept. Heard today could be a Comoli/Poyet combo..

Anyway maybe there finalising the "takeover" and the billions we will have to spend :-)

Couldn't agree more Paulie.  Would like to think that they have already sounded out a new manager and he is OK with the idea.

Collymore's preferred choice is Lambert

I had him down as a Bensons man

I would hope they've already approached their chosen manager, got his confirmation and discussed the structure with him.

Stan Collymore ‏ @StanCollymore

I contacted Alex direct,reply was "Time's up big man,hope Villa go on from strength to strength" #talksport Exclusive


Probably old news!

[Walmley_Villa]

Any odds on Bob Bradley???

[Ron Manager]

Barry Fry just seen driving into VP.

Fantastic!!  My heart feels lifted!

I have been told Villa could have a Director of Football in the next few days

McLeish has been promoted!

How about the great GT?

Perhaps the DoF has been given the mandate to source and employ the new Manager. Faulkner sticks to Commercial and if it is a train wreck Randy is then hands off and blameless.

Don't like DoF framework. Has it worked in UK?

Filthy habit. All those Dog Ends.

As long as tony butler doesnt get the dof job, i cant see lambert and butler as a combination- oh!

[mr woo]

I had enough of Peter Fucking Grant, never mind his brother Avram.

Although wasn't he D of F at Chelsea or something?

[N'ZMAV]

Director of Football.... is Doug Ellis....

[Ron Manager]

How about Sven, and Nancy in place of Grant. She a qualified Lawyer and is fully conversant with dealing with the media.
Sven brought some good players to Man City.

Hang on Im delirious with happiness!!
