Hendrik Almstadt has left the club

[Toronto Villa]

SVC will be sleeping with his phone under his pillow.

Stan is losing it with Villa fans on twitter again!!

Stan is in a bit of battle with Andy Townsend right now.

When Fox, Reilly and Almstadt came in, the majority of us were saying how it looked like the club were starting to get their act together. With the possibility of all three now leaving, the fans are saying that it's looking like the club are getting their act together. Let's hope this is where the rebuild starts.

On paper it looked like a great plan, however like so many of recruitments on and off the pitch over the last five years it was the wrong people employed.

Indeed. What I would say is that the people Hollis has brought in hopefully look like the correct sort of people. When Fox, Almstadt and Reilly came in I think people were supportive of the roles that they inhabited rather than the people themselves. We'll have to wait and see if this is the start of an improvement, we won't really know until the summer.

Agreed.

I don't do Twitter, but that's really Andy Townsend? A picture of a lion and "AV" after his name. I'd wager not.

[brian green]

Probably Andros.

Stan Collymore needs Twitter like Paul Gascoigne needs a Wetherspoon's opening next door.

[Steve R]

Fair enough I suppose. As long as he is not the sacrificial lamb offered up to keep Fox in a job. Hollis can't be that stupid I hope.

I guess Riley's fate depends upon the preference of Almstadt's successor.

What does Riley do again?

[Quiet Lion]

Bound to score against us next season.

Nothing worse than thinking oh man, I have a funny comment to make. Then 3 posts in some other bugger posts it before you!

yeh, I didn't look that closely.

Agree that Stan needs to keep away from Twitter. Bloody hell he doesn't half get wrapped up in utter nonsense discussions.

He's the PlayStation guy

He's the best type of chairman for right now that's for sure.

Let's see what type of player budget they'll be in the summer first.

We've done this back patting before when we've appointed people before, no good if their are pub players on the pitch.

Exactly, no good just getting in more people who aren't capable of doing the jobs required and wasting much more cash.

At least Brian Little knows this club inside out and Bernstein played his part in Man. City turning it around when they were at their lowest ebb so I'm happy with those two coming in but ultimately neither are going to be actively involved in player recruitment or setting how much we will be paying them so that's the test, can we get competent people in those roles?

I agree. Dispensing with underperforming management is very welcome, but I'd have preferred to have seen him prise some money out of Lerner in January. And Fox is the person who really needs to go.
