Jesús García Pitarch - binned

There was 9 days between RDM being sacked and Bruce being appointed, it's only been a week since Bruce was potted. Both times the international break meant there was less of a rush. I'll start to worry if we haven't gotten anyone in by Monday or Tuesday.

Mark Regan was saying on WM last night that he thinks it could all be sorted by tomorrow or Friday. 

[Dante Lavelli]

Potentially a more important appointment than Smith, especially if we are mirroring the brentford model. 

There's a good chance that the footballing philosophy will be dictated by this fella, anyone know much about how his previous clubs played and whether there is an identifiable trend?

Interesting times at villa park and for once it,s for all the right reasons.

An unusual career history. Sporting director at some big teams, with spells not being involved at all, or at much smaller clubs, including as chairman. And never outside Spain.

Not sure what to make of it. But my gut reaction is that it's an odd move for all parties. Although if he can get some cheap talented Spaniards then that might be great. We've only had one Spanish player and he seemed to be the one Spaniard who couldn't pass the ball

Fast forward to 10:29

I assume you're thinking of Cuellar but forgetting about Luna, Crespo and Gil who all came afterwards.

He looks like an exotic Richard Madeley.

Better than an idiotic Richard Madeley which would be some idiot.

Let's face it, anything is an upgrade on the likes of Stan Ternant and Ian Atkins.

He was an important figure at both Valencia and Athletico Madrid when they were each doing well domestically and in Europe.

He looks like an exotic Richard Madeley.

He looks like a mixed up identikit picture of Richard Madeley, Lembit Opik and Marty Feldman.

Scott McGinn for Ł2.3m was our best bargain in years

[brian green]

John McGinn WAS our best bargain for years last month.  Less so of late.
