If he does not sign a contract there are many of us that will feel let down badly. I'd imagine Clarke is still on the payroll of Reading. He signed a two and a half year deal in December 2014. I'd guess we finalising his deal, assuming Hollis has the authority to not only hire the manager but also his back room staff. I'm not panicking just yet, Ron.Eh? Why would Clarke still be on Readings pay rollThey sacked him and are still paying him off (until he finds another job).

In all seriousness though, does anybody think the last bomb squad worked well and is their any reason why it's a better idea this time? Yes I know the players are c***s etc, etc but how can something pretty much universally considered as shit management last time now be a viable way forward with the current crop?
It's up to RDM to find replacements then. It will be interesting who fills the sporting director role and starts the ball rolling on the scouting side. Who worked with RDM at Chelsea? Was Frank Arnesen there then?
Gabby might get a middle east offer late in the summer.
I think Lescott, Guzan, Richards, Cissokho, Amavi, Ayew, Gueye and Gil will all be gone come pre season games. Gabby and Bacuna will be the ones left mainly due to no takers although Gabby might get a middle east offer late in the summer.

Rumour is Clarke and Bond will be announced Monday. That's a pretty hefty coaching team with RDM. A new keeper coach too as one of the reporters today said Parks is on his way.

They could throw their weight about and undermine unregarded fringe managers like Sherwood, Garde and Black. But now they are confronted by respected professionals like RDM, Clarke, Bond and Marchesi. Not to be wanted by Remi Garde or Eric Black is one thing but not to be wanted by RDM or Clarke is a whole new ball game. If I was the agent of Guzan, Agbonlahor, Richards, Lescott or Bacuna I would be telling them to buckle down and keep their traps shut if they want any kind of decent move from Villa.First thing that should happen is the agents of the above players being called in and told that their clients will never play for the club again.We could give them a name, maybe something like the 'bomb squad' Because that worked well last time.Try 'Arsehole alliance'.
