BBC Sport article also states 'Di Matteo was always first choice' - as someone on here said the other day, could this have been the reason Moyes pulled out? Tried to save a bit of face.

Be good to get Eddie Newton on board too as I understand he is a very good fitness coach

RDM going for Marchesi apparently. Former Milan fitness coach known as "King of the Muscles"!

My scepticism over appointing Di Matteo is tempered by bring Clarke in too. That looks quite a strong set up.

I would prefer that we had this guy as  the fitness coach - could you imagine the wankers faces when he turned up  ;D

Lives in Minworth as well

If it wasn't confirmed, I'm sure Pat Murphy would merely "understand" it rather than straight out saying it has happened.

Just remembered that I did the opening post for Tim Sherwood's appointment.

I've cursed RDM and Clarke already...

It's OK, I don't think those two are self absorbed, know nothing, useless twats.

Yuck. Is that what's slowing down the official announcement?

Probably the first manager/coach team since Houllier/GMac who are not completely winging it at a club like Villa.
