Francesco Calvo - President of Business Operations

[Monty]

Everything about him just howls 'stronzo'.

My God...he has not even got the role yet and already he is considered an asshole?

What on earth do people expect to be the candidates for a role like this - Robin Hood?

More than that, I can dislike people who not only haven't yet worked for Aston Villa, but even likely never will.

[Hookeysmith]

If he is the candidate to take over surely we cannot condemn him before he even starts!

Is my point

[Sexual Ealing]

Yeah, let's extend the same welcome as we all did for Marcus Rashford!

We were right about Steve McLaren.

Juventus and Barcelona on your commercial cv is not to be sniffed at.

Welcome Francesco, to the greatest club you'll ever hit revenue targets for!

[Monty]

I hope he does well, but the only question to which the answer is 'move to Milan' is 'what is the only way Juve could possibly be any fucking worse'. Throw in working for Big Baccy and you haven't exactly got a CV to put in front of St Peter come the moment of truth.

[edgysatsuma89]

Well, I look forward to calling him a ****** at some point, anyway.

The difference is we have all seen what Marcus Rashford was like as a player and in his own time in Vegas , Functions , writing off cars etc and we knew what a shitbag of a club he came from.

I am happy to say that after seeing him play in the flesh i was wrong to say i did not want him so feverishly (i still may not like him) and his performance for us actually made Amorim and them look even bigger knobs that they are.

Other than a few hours a go i had no idea who this fella was yet people are calling him an asshole and i do not know why?

I think you might be taking things too literally.

It is football fans doing their legitimate duty and regarding everyone involved in running football as twats until proven otherwise.

Lots of us were pleased about Rashford coming here. Some were unsure, and some lost their shit to such an embarrassing degree anyone could have been forgiven for thinking they'd stumbled into one of Kelvin MacKenzie's cheese dreams.

Still, though, give the guy from Philip Morris the benefit of the doubt. It's a shame Bernie Madoff's carked it. He would've found a way around PSR, and he had none of that ugly 'feeding hungry children' shit on his CV. RIP Bernie.

Is he the new Chris Heck?

I think Heck will take care of pints and crisps and this chap will make money from livestock.

First the points, then the pints ?
