Austin MacPhee

I personally think it’s the right time for changes.

Roll on Emery’s Villa 2.0.

[RamboandBruno]

Typical Villa like finishing in Europe every season, CL football, winning a trophy?

Yep year one Emery: relegation fodder to europa conference qualification.

Year two: semi final of conference, champions league qualification.

Year three: europa league qualification, champions league quarter final, fa cup semi final

Year four: europa league champions, champions league qualification.

Its nearly half a decade, nothing is certain in life but at which point do people stop talking about ‘typical villa’ in the negative, or ‘we know how this goes’ . The bloke is a total winner.

[enigma]

This bothers me more than losing Rogers.

This with bells on.
 The last 4 seasons have seen most of us arriving at and leaving VP with smiles on our faces for the 1st time in quite some time. When did we last have such good home records against Arsrnal, Man City, Msn Utd and Livetpool ?

Chelsea have met the clause in Austin MacPhee’s contract allowing 46yo to depart. #AVFC now looking for his replacement and are currently without a set piece coach.

Blimey my mate said it was a clause, I’ll have to tap him up for some more intel.

Ive thought for a long time that if he wanted to be - he could be like an Alex Fergerson or Clough type figure with us - one of the greatest in English footabll

And if he's to do that - hell need to rebuild.  Im excited - were evolving and backing the our biggest asset.  I think in Unai's mind - phase 1 is done - bring on phase 2

And Clough in the seventies had Peter Taylor with him all the time. Ferguson thirty years later changed managers regularly. Football evolves.

[kippaxvilla2]

Look at it positively we will be poaching some other poor teams set piece coach soon.

[Goldenballs]

Bit of a bummer, this.

Should put a 50p offer for Arsenal’s.

This bothers me more than losing Rogers.

Why?

[Nev]

Dear me, the hand wringing over this is something else.
Pako left without a peep and I'm sure he was far more influential.

Emery is the key. Many top managers change their staff over the years.

I never liked McPhee anyway. Status Quo tribute.
