If the interview went as well as reported, he isn't going to say no.

I think that’s quite harsh tbh, don’t get me wrong he wouldn’t have been my first choice but he managed 139 games for Villa, so I don’t think you can base your opinion that he’s not an upgrade on Farke purely on his last 5 games. For the first 3 seasons there he was a massive success, even up until a few games ago he was still doing brilliantly, they were 8th in the league after beating United at Old Trafford at the end of September.
I think it’s worth remembering that Villa aren’t a comparable club to us really. They may be 15th but I don’t view them as a relegation rival. They’re a huge, really ambitious club, who finished 11th last season and were looking to improve on that again this season and assert themselves as a top 10 Premier League club. That’s why just because he was deemed not good enough for Villa (and even then his sacking was deemed harsh) it doesn’t automatically mean he’s not good enough for us, as football clubs we have very different expectations and ambitions.

She's deleted her account.
Said 7pm to get everyone looking, then put a joke pic up at 7.
Shortly after deleted her account.

I wonder if it is someone at the club, and Webber laid a trap? Caught her red handed, and she now has her P45?

I don't know her but there's been some quite public chat on pinkun about her messages, maybe she decided to get out of the public eye before she got any problems.

Aside from having 24 months of Shakespeare quotes, I'm hoping we'll see Todd & Billy reaching their potential now with some sensible tactics to keep us in games.

I think if Billy Gilmour doesn't start on Saturday, a lot of people will be disappointed. I still maintain that he could well be a bit of a luxury player, maybe suited to when we are a bit more dominant in games, and also that international football is well below the standard of Premier league (for another example see Adam Idah) so he can't really be judged on it.
A clean slate for all players though, Saturday's lineup should be interesting!

Yes even Kenny gets in the Scotland team!
I read that Dean had a thorough in depth knowledge of our players which impressed the board.
Also, his Villa team played Southampton last week?
So although many fans wouldn't necessarily expect us to beat them 5-0, I'll be looking closely at the team selection and overall approach to the game.
Wouldn't be very impressed with a loss, a draw and logiical tactics would be a starting point.

I propose that Number 9 should change his User Name to The Bard. Send Idah out on loan asap or get rid, as for the rest Mr Smith, all yours.
