Aston Villa Women - Eni Aluko

[frank black]

If I can offer some balance to the comments, Eniola Aluko was the driving force behind the "Students of the Game" partnership with Aston University which will benefit our women's team members even after their careers have ended.
Also,  please enlighten me, what business of ours is her political views and in what way is it relevant to her role within the club?

It’s more her habit of spouting questionable views on social media rather than who she votes for.

I know she's pretty detestable, but from purely from a point of view of getting the women's team established, I guess you can say she and her people have done the job.  I'm just glad the club seem to think they can get a better management team in place now to move things forward.  I really can see with investment them making very quick strides forward quite quickly.

The women's team has come on in leaps and bounds, and it's a credit to NSWE.  It shows they're determined to to build up the whole club, not just interested in the first team like Xia and Lerner (at least originally) were.  Aluko obviously played a part, but her habit of opening her mouth before engaging her brain brought her into disrepute far too many times

Villa have stayed in the WSL this season, so I thank Eni very much for that and for the recruitment that helped, with her coaching team who are leaving as well.

Good luck with the new opportunity in LA.

I hope our Villa Women’s team go from strength to strength in the next season.
Please, NSWE, get someone really good to manage and coach, because they deserve the very best after this year and they are brilliant!

Good to see her affinity for the club hasn't waned!

On ITV now saying that Foden "has to start" for England in the Euros and that Jack is too similar to him to be in the same team.

Foden's not good enough to polish Jack's boots you absolute dope!

Foden is a brilliant player, as is Jack. They’re not actually similar and should both start.

If anyone thinks Grealish and Foden are too similar then they either don't watch much football or they're fucking stupid Foden plays with someone much more similar to Grealish (in KDB) and they compliment each other perfectly.

Wonder have Jack and Aluko ever met and if there's much bonding between the male and female seniors.

I agree, but I think the problem is Southgate is so invested in Mount playing 10.  You could certainly have Jack & Foden as the two wide players, but then we would lack the pure pace of players who run behind, which is something I think Southgate wants and the likes of Sancho & Sterling offer.  My team would certainly have Jack and Foden in one way or another.  But I think Mount is nailed so it could well be that Southgate will feel it has to be one or the other.

Mount has earned his place. Anyway, to the Euros thread, it's taking over the whole site!

We’re getting a “track record” now according to her on Twitter.
