Paul Trollope, new Albion assistant manager

[Braggfan]

Excellent appointment. Exactly what we needed in a replacement.

Was slightly worried that Gerrard might have been considered, delighted to see him nowhere near the club.

Great news, very happy with this.

Yeah, there'd have been hell to pay at the Christmas disco

 

[Machiavelli]

I'm also happy with this, but even more so given that alongside the announcement it was indicated that PT coached Wales in the Euros. Hopefully he'll bring a similar out-performing of expectations to us.

Trollop , for the city street
Trollop, for the hip hop beats,
Trollop, I still believe
Trollop is all we need

Seems like a good appointment, happy days...hopefully!

agree and to hear Colin saying he is loving his new role at the villa after 3 days and it was right decision for him tells me his heart wasn't with the albion so good luck to him and let's hope Paul is more committed to us

Agree in that Paul Trollope is an excellent appointment, but I think that the chances of Steve Gerrard ever coming to this club were less than zero! A fine player in his day, yes undoubtably, but he has no experience whatsoever in coaching.

Firstly great appointment, but what seems to have been a case of tapping up for our assistant manager, is now almost confirmed by Calderwood himself. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/spo.../aston-villas-colin-calderwood-gives-12221888

Tell them, Mr. Bloom - Villa can do one!

Tony may well have already done just that. Just that he doesn't like washing his dirty linen in public.

That's just easy journalism though anyone of us could write the same on here

he's been missing part of the season when we had his op or whatever it was so I think we have gained much more than we lost

Aston Villa slightly desperately coveting two Albion midfield stars, in order to try and bridge our 13pt lead over them, is a situation I would have settled for at various points in the past 40 years ...

Trust in Bloom to get us up. Hopefully this season.

At least 2 of those players arn't for sale in January.

Exactly... Villa can **** right off...

Welcome PT... you have joined a great club at this most vital and exciting time in our history. I'm sure you will bring great things to our club. CH obviously has great faith in you. That's good enough for me.

 

[Marshy]

Good stuff all sorted

 

[Steve in Japan]

Very good news and swiftly done.

They seem desperate, to get anything that can be conceived as a win, both on and off the pitch.
