He cares about the club and makes good points, both in recent history and in this article. His problem is, he is a bit of a loose cannon and seems to struggle to keep his emotions intact, especially when arguing with 14 year old keyboard warriors on Twitter.I would gladly have him involved with the club, I think it would add value but there would have to be strict guidelines laid down with regards to what he can/cant discuss on the radio and with regards to his use of social media.
I don't think he really cares about Villa. I think we gave him gravitas at the right time for him to advance his career. Not as naff as Arsenal or Man U but a PL club with kudos. It'll be interesting to see who he hoists his petard to now that we've jumped off the PL gravy train.
I don't see what role he would fill. What does he bring to the table? Never been a coach. Never been a manager. Never had any operational role in football. Not a businessman or clued up in finance, or PR, or any of the other areas we have been short in.Apart from hosting a radio show which is of no value to running a football club, the only thing he has done of note is failed to fulfill his potential as a player. We've got plenty of current players who are experts in that.
