Aston Villa Women - Eni Aluko

[Drummond]

A really positive and high-profile move in my view.

Eni Aluko joins the Villa family

[cdbearsfan]

Yeah, welcome and good luck. She always seems to know her stuff when I've seen her on the telly and hopefully having someone of her stature in the women's game around the place will be beneficial to the players.

Shame she's not playing!

[darren woolley]

I'm really pleased we have Eni at our club welcome and good luck Eni.

[Nev]

I caught sight of this briefly on that yellow ticker on SSPN and nearly fainted, I though she'd replaced Suso.

[Percy McCarthy]

Good luck Eni.

[West Derby Villan]

Welcome Eni to the Famous Aston Villa, the best club in the world

[Villa Lew]

Good Luck Eni

[AsTallAsLions]

Great appointment.

[PaulWinch again]

Good luck Eni.

[rob_bridge]

Brilliant coup - big name so brilliant for profile

[villa `cross the mersey]

Yet more good, positive news coming out of Villa Park ….. I need to go for a lie down
Well done whoever is responsible for this bit of recruitment
Unlike Drinkwater, at least we know she is fit

Give it a few years and I'd be ok with that, she's great, knows the game inside out, is very smart and comes across really well on TV, etc. Fantastic appointment with shows clearly that we're planning on making a big splash in the womens game. When officials, managers and administrators are moving freely between the mens and womens game will be the point where true equality will have been reached, not with what happens on the pitch.

Don't get me wrong, it was more the fact that I thought we'd suddenly replaced the DOF rather than who it was. I ain't no gammon bruv.


Although I could do with a little less Karen Carney about the game.

Really good news for the club, always liked her when she has been on the telly and how she handled the trouble with her douche bag ex manager. Isn't she a local too ?

I understood and in no way thought that's how you meant it otherwise. It was just a good lead in to me pointing out that I think she'll be a great choice in a director style role for someone in a few years, and could easily be a bridge between the mens and womens teams.
