Talksport 10.15pm talking about Lambert and Hughton.

Recommended Posts

[quote user="paul moy"]Well, on Talksport yesterday Keys and Gray said that Villa should act like a big club and pay us compensation. Gray is ex-Villa so the fact that he is unimpressed with his club speaks volumes. Villa are indeed acting like a very small-minded club IMO. [/quote]
Martin Samuel (lead sports writer for the Daily Mail) has got it spot on (IMO):

''Aston Villa believe they can exploit a clause in Paul Lambert’s contract to avoid paying compensation to his former employers, Norwich City. 

No doubt Lambert believes he has joined a much bigger club. The fact that, as an opening gambit, mighty Villa are attempting to diddle Norwich to get him on the cheap makes this doubtful.''

[quote user="Bryangunnshairline"]Ewan Chester on his way umm interesting. Also that coz we get hughton in and his back room staff then villa see lamberts bathroom staff as surplus to requirements so they get them cheap. I''m sorry but that aside villa can''t have a lot of cash ?[/quote]

 

Blimey - has he become a geriatric since he left? :-)

"makes them look even more cheap that we''ve stumped up 2million no problem for Hughton in a matter of hours.

"Maybe.  All that we know is that we''ve agreed a compensation payment.  We don''t know how much it is.  If we ever know, I''d imagine it will be in next years accounts for those who care that much.

widely known the WBA were put off by 2millionish compo, so the fact we''ve been granted permission indicates that''s the rough figure.

I would like to know what fool pays for something he does not need to for appearences sakes? And since when is the size of a club measured by how much compensation is paid?

If Norwich or Liverpool could have got their new bosses without paying then they would, no matter what some bearded cockney spiv writes in a column.

If you think scraping around to find any loophole to avoid what is morally (and quite possibly, legally) due makes Vanilla look like the big club you claim them to be, you really are an idiot.

What it does is signal that you either don''t have the money or that you are ready to tap up and rip off other clubs, who will thus be far less prepared to do business with you.

Nursey is a Norwich fan, I believe. It was interesting how he couldn''t stop himself from throwing in the odd sly dig at Villa during the course of the conversation. He''ll not last along on that patch with that attitude!
