Calderwood to Villa

[sir albion]

Ironic indeed. It's as if Sky are showing Brighton Vs Villa tomorrow night and the hacks need an angle and a story and are prepared to make stuff up?

Yeah seems it's defo a load of bollocks

Not much good if under those circumstances Calderwood is unwilling to continue working for us, we would need to put him on gardening leave and get a replacement in anyway.

If that was the case then we'd consider disciplinary action against CC. If you are under contract to do a job, then you are obliged to get on with it. The only way out would be for Villa to stump up a compensation payment that we accept. Considering our stance on players this season I think that a payment of over £5m may be the starting point! What AV must realise is that we won't just roll over. They aren't a superpower anymore. The only concession I can see to this is that we understand CC wants to move closer to home for personal reasons...but letting him go to a potential rival for promotion (which they probably still are, just about), I doubt we'd entertain it.

Good luck with that then Colin.

Playing a game like this with Bloom invariably only ends one way.

 

[Easy 10]

The best defence in the League was bound to attract some attention I suppose.

Hopefully CC's working relationship with CH, the relative prospects of the two teams this season, and the whatever cash renumeration he's on here here will outweigh whatever Villa are throwing at him and the Northampton family aspect.

Villa also have one of those chinese owners. They blow with the wind - half a dozen bad results, and the manager is immediately under pressure. He's started alright, but if Bruce doesn't have Villa AT LEAST challenging the Playoffs this season, then a run of bad results could see Dr Tony getting an itchy trigger finger there before too long. The expectations there are MASSIVE.

Calderwood is onto a good thing here. Lets hope he knows it.

Lives in Northampton apparently. The bloke also said 'at least wants to talk to villa' - Vila bigger blub but BHA much better ran and have better facilities. Also BHA look more likely for promotion than Villa.

Slightly off topic but is always baffles me the commutes that people in football are prepared to make. A 258 mile, four hour round trip (without traffic) 5-6 times a week.

You could hardly blame him if he wants to work closer to home - that would kill me.

The timing of this is particularly shitty given we have just had an international break, seems like it has been timed purposefully to have the most unsettling effect.

Really REALLY hope we stuff them now.

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

If this is all just mind games then it's a massive compliment. Rewind 5 years and you would never think that Aston Villa would have to resort to stories about their players not playing, being after our players and now our assistant

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Do we think Brucie is trying his old leader, Bacon Face's tactics?

Andy Naylor just tweeted

"Confirmation Villa-bound Calderwood has resigned as Albion No.2. Was placed on gardening leave Saturday to serve notice period. #bhafc"

 

[Deadly Danson]

Already resigned according to Naylor.

Normally it's a case of your family members moving with you as being involved in football normally ends this way....Maybe he's in the wrong game or needs a job at Northampton town lol

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Resigned.

 

[sir albion]

Well that's him gone then lol
Onwards and upwards

 

[Driver8]

Resigned.

Great timing. ****.

 

[Sheebo]

Annoying and odd but replaceable I'd imagine. An annoying disruption to the team though. Extra Incentive to win tomorrow for me

He's on gardening leave for his notice period - however long that is.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

I'd love it, love it if we were to ......

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

WTF

What a ****.

Surely must stay down here in the week and just go back certain times. But yes, even footballers in the pro game moving all the time must be so hard - yes the money makes it easier at top level but I wouldn't like to move due to work every 3 years or so...!
