The Holy Trinity

[Steve kirk]

I really enjoy his videos, informative and entertaining.

[darren woolley]

I watch his video he's really good.

I like Max Stokes.  He’s usually quite insightful.  And he reminds me of when all I had in the world was drink and following the Villa around the country.  And If you look back at his videos you can see how he has filled out with the effect booze and crap food has had.  Happened to a lot of us!  Max if you’re reading I’m only kidding.

I think, unfortunately, he has a point when he says we haven't recovered from Grealish leaving yet. A made with hindsight point maybe, as mentioned earlier, but a valid one. The point about needing some kind of director of football also, instead of chopping and changing styles when we get a new manager in, is one well made. Again nothing revolutionary which makes it frustrating that it doesn't seem to have occurred to anyone in the Villa hierarchy.

I agree with you, but the practical implementation of an all-seeing DoF is more difficult than its concept: will top managers be prepared to cowtow to a DoF? How many managers out there would fit the necessary profile as established by the DoF?.

I like him.  Shame he doesn't release the shows as audio podcasts but I guess he's trying to build his YT channel.

Just watched - made some excellent points about the appointment of any future manager.

Like the Villa Podcast (very funny, but not for Children's ears) and the Paul McGrath podcast

[Billy Walker]

I enjoy this and the Paul McGrath podcast - two very different approaches to discussing all things Villa, but both very engaging and thought-provoking.  They're both firmly becoming part of my weekly Villa routine.

'The Villa Podcast' is by far my favourite audio podcast out there.  If you haven't listened to it give it a try.

[eamonn]

Love this guy. Professional but with a dose of humour and it's a nice change not to hear a British/Irish accent wang-on about the Villa.

[Rico]

His YouTube shows are brilliant and sadly absolutely spot on. Best analysis I've heard of Villa's troubles I've heard in a long time.

[The Edge]

I'd like to echo all the above. I subscribe to his channel, I think his names Phil. I love his enthusiasm for the club and he's very easy to listen to.

[Scott Nielsen]

I'd like to echo all the above. I subscribe to his channel, I think his names Phil. I love his enthusiasm for the club and he's very easy to listen to.
