It’s a shame that another Villa man is leaving the club.
Thanks Mark for your work.

Sad to see him go - because he’s villa and also we seem to be progressing players well through the setup - but likewise don’t know enough to make a judgement

Two thoughts - do you think it might be so one of our huge back room staff can take it on (maybe Banks)

The other being that SG said at Liverpool Klopp had more involvement with the U23 and wanted them to play like the first team - maybe that is another factor maybe they want someone else in place that SG feels he can work with better?

Obviously these are completely my thoughts and not based on anything and probably completely wrong

Maybe Gerrard doesn't feel like the players coming through are ready enough.

Can't Purslow be asked about this at supporter meetings? The continuity thing and possible discarding of it cos of being too starry-eyed by the newly hired manager and his entourage is...a little concerning.

They tend to skirt round playing issues at the meetings although I do agree with your second point.

They're clearly not going to discuss staff employment matters with supporters, and neither should they.

Where the CEO has previously made a thing about implementing a Villa way of playing/being coached, it seems fair to ask him if that approach is still in place.

Hmm less - and full marks to him if he answers with a straight face

Does this mean that the U-18 coaches will have to be sacked as well? After all, this team only came twelfth in its league this season.

Sorry, had already posted this in reserves thread……

MARK DELANEY “ It’s with a heavy heart that I’m leaving”

Story on AVFC website
Not won enough games this year ?
Weakened squad with the better players loaned out……. Club going in new direction ?
SG quoted several times that he wants to recruit seasoned pros to balance and add average age to first team
Has SG got more backroom team lined up to succeed MD ?

Thoughts ?

Do wonder why he's been potted. Maybe the players going out on loan weren't arriving at the cubs ready for football straight away and needed some adjustment time? Think that was mentioned of one of the players we sent to league 2 ... Aaron Ramsey? Barry? I can't remember

Somewhere they love stripes, still point at planes and think people from Wolverhampton are a bit flash, would be my guess.
