Robin Russell

[dave.woodhall]

I always thought Russell was an interim appointment? 

He was temporary CEO when Faulkner left.

The accounts department

Alderson 96 resigned
Stride  01 resigned
Ansell 03 resigned
Stringer 07 resigned
Russel 16 resigned

LOL

Sorry I don't see anything wrong here. This is normal and last guy was there for 9 years  which is pretty good in terms of job stability.

Show my ignorance here Dave W , but accounts are accounts, figures and such like, why a sector he has an interest in??

That's like saying why watch football and not rugby - they're both games with balls and such like.

There can be a whole host of reasons why someone might leave a job for another job in the same discipline - pay, career prospects, moving house, interest in what the company actually does, etc, etc.

I wouldn't necessarily read too much in to Russell leaving.  We're in the mess we're in because the last five years have been spent preparing the club for relegation.  There can't be much Russell knows about what's coming that isn't blindingly obvious to all of us.

As I lay in bed last night following our utter capitulation I thought the only way this can possibly get any worse is if Robin Russell wraps his bangers in

We had an accountant called Robin?

Robin Banks. Understandably changed his surname.

I think Risso should apply for the vacant position.

One of my neighbours is an accountant. He has the surname Swindells.

Do you thnk Risso is vacant enough?

Pretty Vacant, yeah.

That would make for an interesting interview.  "So, tell me about these comments on social media then."

"I'll see myself out."

Don't worry, I'm sure they'd give you the job first then have to pay you off after.

You wouldn't get through the CV sifting process anyway. Qualified accountant? We don't do those. We're the Villa and we only appoint those who are woefully under-qualified for role to which they are assigned.

Well probably get the guy who looked after the petty cash at Arsenal.

Robin Russell was probably the one man who was good at his job. He had no interest in football, but a mind like a calculator.

"My account was hacked. For more than ten years."
