So after Hollis said we will appoint a British manager in the next week we are sat waiting for Di Matteo, everyone in football who has commented has said we need British yet as usual Villa love to set themselves up for failure! Hope Pearson does well at Derby after he was messed around by us.

What the hell are you on about .
Poor old Pearson; being messed about by us?
It's called the job application process and the bigger the job, the more convoluted and drawn out the process is, particularly if you are in the middle of a takeover as well.

Let's all hope Di Matteo is a massive failure and that Pearson is a huge success at Derby. That way some of our fans can happily bleat on about how they told us so.
Apologies if I seem a little curt but the whole negativity of my fellow fans is really getting on my nerves. I'll be better after a lie down.

Pearson wasn't messed around, he just wasn't happy with the transfer budget and the transfer restrictions imposed by Xia.

RDM is much happier with a hands on chairman.

I agree with Mendax, some people seem to be forgetting what supporting a football team means and hoping for the people at the club to fail isn't what it means!

Didn't say anything about hoping people fail at our club, no matter whose in charge I'll back if you look at my reply to an earlier post you'll see my season ticket is brought and I'll support whoever's in charge. But when polls of who fans want are 75% Pearson with over 2000 votes, yet the club tell him they want him for him to be then told his third choice you can see why he moved on and hence the frustration!

If the large majority of footballing people are saying Villa need a British manager I really do question why some people think we won't make the same mistake as every other season if we go against the grain. Hey ho Mendax let's just reappoint Remi Garde and you'll be loving life again.

Not to worry - if your set on getting a British manager, Brian McDermott has just been given the heave-ho by Reading. I assume we are waiting for the dust to settle on the Mourinho circus before making any announcement.

6.) 27 May 2016
27 May 2016 18:49:48
Also it's not negativity its frustration at the continual failings of our club and the fact some fans think it's good to keep making the same mistakes over and over and can't see why we ware where we are!

Mate, i agree we don't follow the norm, like him or loathe him you can't say pearson would have done a job for us, but wishing him well on here, you're asking for pelters.

Wow fatdave is really in the know and extremely negative to boot. hope his "contacts"are as reliable as Kingvillas!

9.) 27 May 2016
27 May 2016 20:13:14
Where have we as a club said we want him? Or any one else for that matter?
Oh yes I forgot, in the press! Must be true then!

Get real guys! We didn't want him. If we did, he would be here.
Now just watch the negative impact he has at Derby. Then ask your self if you really want that at vp!

Our new owner has said that he has his guy in place, we will find out when he is given the green light to take over.
What ever Hollis says is irrelevant, as he works for the old regime, and has been told when it's done to leave.

Why listen to what Hollis says? (as the old regime was so successful. )

All these negative posters, and serial Ranters are not fans, and certainly not supporters, as they are so desperate for everything and everyone to fail, just to say, I told you so!

All of them, in my opinion of course, should do one, and follow the blues noses, as let's be honest, your all so blue and desperate already.

Yes Flackie! Again spot on mate. The only people in the know are the good doctor and his advisors. How people like fatdave and Kingvilla can claim to know what RdM and Pearson are thinking and what player's are staying or leaving is beyond me.

11.) 27 May 2016
27 May 2016 21:13:20
fatdave I don't know where you get you info mate but Pearson did not turn us down. he was hollis choice not the dr s. once the takeover was happening he was no longer first choice. it was nothing to do with budgets mate. we will spend at least triple what derby give him next season

12.) 27 May 2016
27 May 2016 22:00:13
Pearson withdraw his interest in the Villa job. that's turning the job down, even if you think it's semantics. Pearson rejected the Villa post even though no formal offer was made. It doesn't matter. Move on.

RDM is in pole position but for what it's worth, Warnock registered an interest as well. For that matter, Peter Reid was keen ;)

As for budgets, I fear you are going to be disappointed. That £100 million people keep talking about has to include wages, bonuses, agents fees etc as well.

13.) 27 May 2016
27 May 2016 22:06:04
And you know he withdrew, how?
Because he was never offered it, as he was not wanted!
NOT BY THE NEW STRUCTURE!
The press put a round peg in a square hole, and he believed it!
Apparently he is not the only one!

To save face, he says now he is withdrawing!
Only as he knows he was never getting it!

14.) 27 May 2016
27 May 2016 22:22:11
And just to clarify, dr tony actually said he has a maximum budget of £50m to spend on transfers.
Never once did he say this £100m was for this, I assume this was put in this account to cover the sale of the club.

Scare monger, talk rubbish, and heaven forbid blindly lie. But if you do this, at least try to engage your brain.
If not it's embarrassing.

Fatdave - you have got it wrong mate and to be honest you sound like another blue on here! Pearson didn't turn the Villa job down at all, more like he got fed up of waiting in 3rd choice spot and moved on, I can't believe all this negative rubbish! The owner wants Di Mattio and that's a fact so why all this spinning negativity?! Dr Xia will spend everyone
Else out of the water pal, its in his best interests to do so otherwise his investment will stand still or sink. I don't think he's daft do you! Come on Villa!

16.) 27 May 2016
27 May 2016 22:31:00
Well said Flackie bang on the mark! Its not rocket science.

17.) 27 May 2016
27 May 2016 22:33:03
Pearson had agreed to take over until the takeover happened at that point he was no longer the choice. villa pulled the plug not him. and he will not get no more than 10 million at Derby so even with agents fees and wages as you say we will spend at least 30 million. move on mate this takeover is happening and Pearson is now a rival manager so get behind the club insted of all this bs. the way you and a couple of others on here go on you sound like noses.

18.) 27 May 2016
27 May 2016 22:33:39
Fatdave are you sure you don't work for St Andrews Times?!

19.) 28 May 2016
27 May 2016 21:36:43
All of us are right, all of us are wrong, on here all the colours of the villa church come to worship and find solace, what you call ranters and negativity, others call passionate, cautious, so we're all doghnuts and we're all shrewdies, but bottom line is, we're all villa, the enemy is not knowing, the uncertainty, drives you up the wall, but the only answer is little victories, be it waiting to announce new manager, getting paddy reilly out the door, dr. xia almost home and dry, rdm close behind, under 21's doing brilliant, nzogbia slinging his hook, gabby down the road, and finally on the first home game of the season, the upper stand being re-opened by dr. xia under the name of"Kingvilla" a worthy recipient, happy days!

Very disappointed that Pearson has gone to a play off championship club rather than Prem League! Lots on here wanted him because of how he got LCFC up but diidnt care much for the baggage. Now he has a real chance to get Derby up and makes it a little bit harder for villa! Let's hurry up and get Di Matteo in now to start the road back and our full backing behind him and the new board VTID.

Flackie, you sound hysterical. Which is fine because we know that some fans allow emotions to drive their behaviour.

But you are largely incorrect. And you are being subjective, not objective.

Much of my input here will be proven mostly correct but no one can guarantee 100% - it's a rumour site for that reason. Pearson turned down the job even though it was never formally offered. Move on.

As for the "I don't agree with you, you must be a bluenose" post later on from someone. come on, that's a child's argument. I am not even a soccer fan. I just don't like chav sports but I do have sympathy for the Villa through family connections.

28 May 2016 09:52:39
Again Rubbish fatdave sorry mate - Pearson would have loved the Villa job . how's Small Heath mate you don't fool me?!

23.) 28 May 2016
28 May 2016 09:58:00
Move on? Why because I didn't agree with you?! You say he turned it down, I say he didn't, as was offered nothing to turn down!

I didn't call you a blue nose! However since your 'soccer' reference I'll accept you do know very little, and move on.

And I'm being subjective, as opposed to objective!? Why, because I find what you write uneducated, not thought through and argumentative?
And to say I'm hysterical! Lol ok! I'll accept that! If you mean hysterically laughing at the dribble and useless rubbish an over weight poster wrote?
But yes, we finally agree, as a FAN and a SUPPORTER i do let my emotions run, and at certain times, I'm sure they drive my behaviour.
But sitting here, on a FANS forum, no, I allow my self to engage my brain, and post accordingly.
Can I suggest that you do the same?

28 May 2016 10:54:19
Fatdave, if you have no intrest in football how is it that you are engaged in detailed conversations with your so called source's at the club about all aspects of recent events. Surely if you're not interested in chavvy football you wouldn't be commenting on a football related website. You claim to know why Pearson wouldn't become manager, why di matteo will and which player's are leaving. I love this chavvy game and great club and have none of this information. None of what you say makes any sense. Absolute rubbish!

25.) 28 May 2016
28 May 2016 11:10:18

Normally I agree with everything you post Flackie, in fact i think we had a 100 percent record. But now you've spoilt it by posting that rubbish. To me it is and always will be football.

27.) 28 May 2016

It was meant to be? Think everyone got that, this post for very entertaining very fast, my original post was out of fustration that we'd missed out on Pearson which in my opinion (which everyone's entitled to) was the best man for the job and we was chasing another foreigner who to be fair when you look at his record isn't all that bad after looking into it but I was just hoping for someone who would know just how big Villa are and came with a reputation where they won't get bullied by the players something that happened to Di Matteo at Chelsea with the likes of Terry. It has been a good read tho and whoever comes in I hope they smash the championship, 7-0 the blues both legs and make us a strong prem team once again so onwards and upwards.
