If this is true, he is employed by Villa, oh fair play to him? He has a job to do here at the most important time of his job. I wish I could step away from my job to do something else for a bit.
Although, perhaps he and the club know we are not going to do much this window so he can stay in Spain

Are you never allowed leave then? 

It is also a weekend or do we expect them to be working 24/7 365 days a year?

So, he is leaving Villa?
You know how employment works?
If he is doing it in his spare time and not being paid, then ok, go for it. But, he is employed by Villa and he still expected to do his job with no adverse impact from this new activity.

I'm talking about holiday from your job sometimes called Annual Leave and shortened to leave. It can also mean sick leave or maternity/ paternity leave, bereavement leave etc. Not leave as in not coming back. If you aren't allowed any time off to do anything outside of your job, you need a better job.

In this instance he seems to have flown back to his home town for the weekend to protest the owners of his local town team, and have a chat with the local mayor. And tbh, with tech of today where zoom / teams, email and phones mean you can be contacted at a moments notice, I doubt him being over there for a few days is hampering anything for the Villa anyway.

Err, as Somniloquism said, you've misread what he wrote.

Everyone is allowed time off. Everyone can do what they want in that time off so long as it doesn't prejudice their job.

I don't think for a nanosecond he's getting paid to do this.

I think my conclusion from all of this is that Monchi = good guy.

Totally fucked up this window, and a litany of underwhelming purchases.

I’d just love it if Emery answers all post match questions with the word “Monchi” like he did with Bizot for his pre-match interview.

And what exactly was he meant to have done? It’s easy to say he should be out but it’s not rocket science to understand he couldn’t just lash out money when we had to cut just about everything first. And every fucking club knows it too. So what would you have had him do? And on top of that when it comes to incoming players you must also mean Vidagany and Emery out also. Because they buy players as a committee.

Spent the 400m better would have been a start.

Monchi signings

Bizot
Cisse
Ozcan
Guessand
Malen
Illing Jr
Argentinian midfield guy
Onana
Maatsen
Garcia
Barkley
Rogers
Nedeljkovic
Gauci
Diaby
Torres

A litany of mistakes, over paid fee's, massive undeserved wages, kids signed and spat out in some attempt to make pennies and ultimately 1 player who get's in the first team. All of that for over Ł250m. We enter the last day with massive holes in the squad, unrest and a stale unprepared atmosphere of defeatism.

This guy ruined Roma, he's doing it here. He isn't good enough. He must go.
