That was him sat to the right of Sherwood at the match today (Fox was the other side of Sherwood).

I don't normally (ever) post on here, and prefer just to be a silent reader, but I knew Paddy quite well from his first stint at the Villa and would like to say a few words.
He was employed initially as as a science coach- making sure Richard Dunne kept in shape (or not) and then became chief scout.
We can thank Paddy for finding Westwood and the Beast.
He left to become being chief scout at Liverpool and is now back at Bodymoor.

Didnt know that

Although total fail with keeping Dunne in shape! Although I always liked Dunne

speaking to someone within the game who's judgement I respect, he says Reilly hasn't got a f****** clue - should fit in well then

Peoples secret in the know friends only ever appear to have bad things to say. It's a British phenomenon this desire to put people down.

Surely Benteke was found on Henke's watch?

If he was, I hope it was insured.

Recruiting a manager who hasn't passed his Pro A license and hasn't completed a full season managing must require lots of experience.

In that McLeish interview on Talksport this week he said they had done all the background work on Benteke in his season in charge.
