Pardew after his fa cup win.

FA Cup aside, Pardew has had a shocking second half of the season.  They could go foreign again, but even then, who is there out there?

Sorry mate, not with you.  Who wants Flores?

Not guilty mate.  It's been Moyes all the way for me with Hughton as second choice.  After sitting through the Bournemouth and Southampton games, I'd take just about anyone though instead of Eric Black.

Funny you say that, reading the Everton forums on Moyes time there, him and Eric Black are very similar in how they baffle the crowd with their dull, defensive team selection. Moyes liked to contain the opposition for 70/75 minutes before bringing on a more adventurous player for the last 15/20 minutes in an attempt to win the game.

Not familiar with this 'winning a game' you speak of.

Does any one think that a new manager will be appointed under Lerners ownership, unless of course there is no sale and they will be at the bottom of the barrell.

[alftitimus]

Ellis signed MON during or just prior to due diligence by Randy.

It's a bit of a myth that Randy signed  MON, thus displaying some intelligence about UK Soccer.
But, to be fair, he did accept the signing.

With a Sale, probably near, the managership issue is crucial.
If one is appointed, with a Sale just a few months or due-diligences away, who in their right mind would come. NOT a NAME, like Moyes etc.
Unless with a reasonable pay-off.

Who would come for a few months, expecting a new owner to have his own ideas and agenda? As Randy knew buggar all about 'soccer', he accepted MON as  a fait accompli
~ new owners may not be as thick as he was, and the question arises as to which party pays-off the "new manager". The buyer or the seller that appointed him ?

It might suit both the seller, and the new owners, to keep ex-bluenose-Black in situ, on a rolling 1 month contract. He's going to get his pay-off anyway.

BUT...that really messes up the transfer window.

Is that why Really-Oh-Reiley is still around...to weave more magic ?

I'm getting quite fearful, that after the deadwood is being hacked away.... idiots paid-off....
resignations accepted....we are left with Hollis, Brian and Really to get a new manager under conditions that only the most greedy would accept.

No self-respecting manager would join a club in transitionary ownership__ come on...would you, Allardyce or Rafa do that ? Would David Moyes ?

Eric stays I fear..a few more £50k a weeks until we are sold, then he gets his pay-off.
That seems simple and logical to me.

Unles Ian Dowie jacks in his McDonald's job

The big worry is the club will bring another yesman in. We saw how anyone with independent thought like King and Bernstein was dealt with, and any manager with enough of a reputation to worry about losing it, won't take the job unless he's given some control. I'm not hopeful Lerner will allow that so that leaves us with the sort of candidates who will take the job under any circumstances given the right pay-packet

[alftitimus]

My thoughts exactly sicko 

The way to Randy's wallet and trust, is by being a "YES MAN", a bottom-kisser.

Gulag to Faulkner to Fox To Gulag again....

The biggest brown-nosing, butt-licking creep was a manager. 

And he had the longest spell in Randy's conscious reign.

Lambert...who had the audacity to suggest, that Randy might actually be at VP matches, but in another executive box.....jeez....that is bottom-sniffing , mis-direction  and
trully blatant creeping...how did he live with that comment?

Worse, how did our well feted journo's respond to that? They ignored it, didn't bother to publish that Randy had not been at Villa Park more than twice in 6 years.
Not been in the UK even.

Nope, the journos stuck with their luncheons and free dinners at VP and allowed the biggest brown-noser in history to get away with it.

Except Matt Kendrick who was moved at the BM, after he was 'blanked' by Lambert at Pressers.

Lick Randy's bottom and you succeed.

A 'nice man' as they say...as long as he is lubricated by tongues !

 

[Steve67]

Alftitimus, you post in the same vein as Randy corresponds with the fans. As I have never seen you and Randy in the same room, I think you are our errant owner and claim my five pounds.

Is the sale close Alf?

Back On Top...

In this thread I've seen Rowett mentioned now and again...but he isn't in the selection...neither is Roberto Martinez 

I think Rowett would be very Cheap...what Burton to the Blues who got no dosh ??
 

Thing is, he's a bit like Pardew and also Bruce.

Rides the "New-Manager-Bounce"  superbly. A different kind of Manager to any predecessor.

BUT....and always a BUT.... Second Season Syndrome?

Pardew may get to Wembley, but his Second Season at Palace has been as disastrous as at Toon etc.

Does that guy go on Holiday for 6 months ?

Bruce similar. Failed in every second season, and taken Hull down to struggling to retain a Play-Off place  from being Top a couple of months ago.

Rowett is the VERY CHEAP version of these two.
Never managed in the Premier, so doesn't know tricks and ego blandishments needed for High-Maintanence players.

Spent a TOTAL pittance of about £2mill in 2 Years... on players who can't get into his "safety-first" side.

Would be ideal as a "holding manager"...but anyone taking over here would get rid of him fast.
imo.

The worst thing is, he's a closet villan...or so he's said in the last week or so, castigated the noses for being happy at our prediciment.
But he is also a Ram's supporter. His familly have STs there.

Thing is, I don't trust him...don't rate him.... his 2nd Season is pure Pardew and Holloway.

Don't put him on any New Poll...please...nor McKay / Bruce / Holloway / Pearson...etc etc...

Either make a New POll a WISHLIST for readers.......or make it serious by averaging out the bookies.

YES !!!....or possibly NO.....

I'm on Holiday in Florida at  the moment....I have seen that my new wife is filing Divorce Papers with the same firm that made Mel Gibson go on Welfare.
I saw it in a paper that they sell at cashouts in  WalMart.

I was incognito with a moustache.... so no one would recognise me, but I took the paper that this overweight lady shoved at me and read it in the disguised Limo to evade detection. {Where it recently had "Randy" on the sides...it now reads "Bandy"...pure genius..My General thought that up....you pay the best to get the best}

It appears according to this paper that I am being divorced. ... AGAIN!
I didn't know this and under Californian Law as well....I always had a pre-nuptial based in  an East Coast State..... this might explain her registered abode now seems to be The Beverly Hills Hotel in Hollywood. Where they make movies.

I am a really 'on-the-ball' guy, so I contacted the General a couple of days ago and he will get back to me soon...his voice-mail said. He's a Tiger when let loose.
He YELLS at people.

My PA when i contacted her to ask about this terrible divorce story, said that is was true and that all I would be left with is I lost was my overseas assets and Aston Villa...a soccer club. I then went into overdrive, demanaded the General to reply...and he did.
He contacted me from his Florida resort and we realised we were only 2 miles away from each other.

We discussed this Aston Villa thing as being a potential assett...we are now trying to lure it off as a bargain in any settlement.

The General's right-hand-man..... ex-Cpl Slim-Hips as he calls him, is now in negotiation with my future ex...whose name i've forgotten...the one with the blonde hair and roots...I think....


But...to Sum up....

YES Aston Villa's future is SAFE....I think...

Someone will buy it the General said ...but if we can increase the Sale  by letting my future ex know she could be a Knight of the Realm...like that woman who's name escapes me...with the big flabby bosoms  and a dwarf husband....what's her name ?

Anyway....the good news is that VILLA IS SAFE.....

My PA contacted me when I was in the Bahamas discussing 'important stuff' with the General.... my future ex could accept ownership of Villa, at £99.99 million and debts.
Then I would  escape with only a few billion.

She would be a Knight-of-the-Realm, get to go to Garden Parties and such.

For a Celebration...the General and his Co-Ord and me had 3 drinks..on my Tab...
then wended our way to our rooms.

I didn't see either of them the next day, and had horrifical problems booking an aeroplane ticket...my New York office had to do it..

But I was safe in the knowledge that ...like the 'Browns'.... Aston Villa Soccer Club ...would be safe and secured...... with my ex or whoever....so I have returned to finish my holiday after all the exertion of the past weeks.
