Austin MacPhee

[Small Rodent]

Prog rock wanker.

Hope he focuses on those set pieces where they do all the dummy run ups and then fuck it up.  We've seen them - now time to take them to the masses.

Release clause? 
Who'd have thought?
Smart work, if true.

I bet he’s the only set piece coach in our history anyone could name and that next to nobody can name any other club’s set piece coach. Bit of a shame but it’s hardly the end of days.

Is Jim Walker the only physio people can only name in their time supporting Villa? I can’t recall knowing the name of one since.

[Clampy]

Was Ross McClaren a physio? Think that's was his name anyway

Wasn't McPhees number 2 a Spanish coach that went to be number 1 set piece coach at Sociadad under Plane?

Keith Andrews was Brentfords

[eye digress]

Never got the impression that Unai warmed to him particularly.

It's a key area these days, I hope we don't Rush the appointment of his successor.

Yes!!

[villa `cross the mersey]

Does anyone know how much salary we paid MacPhee ?

[mrfuse]

I'm not sure why so many people are saying this is a big loss?

Is it really as I don't see it myself. Is a set piece coach responsible for stopping opposition set pieces as well?

[kippaxvilla2]

Yes

[Ian.]

I often wondered if he worked on that side, because as good as we have been offensively we always look vulnerable defensively.
