Villa player loan watch

[eamonn]

Pearce is now sacked so Jack and Gary can...y'know, go again.

Can you send managers out on loan?

Nice idea Percy.

According to Sky Jed Steer has been called back from loan I dont know why.

Maybe he is one of those keepers who likes to play centre forward sometimes in training and Lambert reckons anything is worth a go to try to get more goals.

It worked out well for Bournemouth when they sent young Howe to Burnley for a bit.

Actually (and I'm not talking about Lambert here), that's something that I'm surprised that some clubs haven't tried before.

eg why don't Man Utd send Giggs off to manage a League 1 club for a couple of seasons with the idea of bringing him back to the club for another one/two years as assistant before taking over the main job.

I'm sure that some League 1 club would take a big name ex-player on this basis and the manager would learn more than being a number two.

Because Ryan Giggs wouldn't want to go and manage a league one club?

[UK Redsox]

He might if he was told that he needed experience being a number one elsewhere for Man Utd to even consider him for the job as their manager.

[pauliewalnuts]

In which case, he'd already be managing a League One club, surely? He'd definitely get offers. Probably higher than League One, too.

Plus, Man United would require far more of a track record of success at a decent level to appoint someone manager, way more than doing it in the lower divisions, even if it is a club legend doing it.

[Ron Manager]

I get the feeling that Van Gaal doesn't want Giggs there. He never looks at him during a match or seeks his opinion. Giggs might just as well
move on elsewhere.

[Damo70]

I get the feeling Van Gaal doesn't want anyone else's opinion, let alone some bloke he inherited.

Sorry, correction. Some bloke he was desperate to work with and who was his first choice assistant out of everybody in the whole wide world.

Aston Villa striker Callum Robinson has returned to League One side Preston North End on a loan deal for the rest of the season. Robinson scored five goals in 11 appearances for Preston earlier in the campaign.

Made a lot of sense recalling him.

[Villa in Denmark]

One of the most pointless loan recalls of all time?

Another example of Lambert's muddled thinking?

Based on the timing of it and the amount of use he's been since, my guess is that Lambert recalled him with the intention of using him against Blackpool without checking whether he was cup-tied or not.
