I think they've met before though, so it's not a huge deal.

Gareth Southgate sat next to Sir Brian...

Interesting. I said a couple of weeks ago I'd like Southgate as 'Head of Football' if Sir Brian isn't interested

[Toronto Villa]

Let the Director of Football/Head of Football Ops rumours start in earnest.

That's Southgate next to Sir Brian........

Please let him be checking out Rasford for the U21's...and maybe Jack if he ever gets off the bench

[West Derby Villan]

Let the Director of Football/Head of Football Ops rumours start in earnest.

No way that would be allowed to happen unless there's nothing in it or the ink is dry. Given there's been no word from the FA, my money is on the former.

More likely than the manager rumors.

His link to Bevington via England and it's easy to put 2+2 together.  I'm too young to remember the ins and outs of him leaving Villa but recall more him as the good player he was.

Haha Richardson you donkey.

Apparently the fans are having a party.
