Never Blue 0 Posted June 6, 2012 Just in case it has been missed:According to the Birmingham Mail, who had a reporter at the press conference for that Scottish bloke earlier, there is no news on whether Culverhouse and Karsa are going to be joining ''him'' or staying with us to work alongside our new manager (presumingly CH). Do you think there is still a chance that they will stay? For me personally I think it would great if we could keep hold of them in order to cause as little diruption to the team as possible. Also, Culverhouse is said to be a real driving force on the training field.Source: http://www.birminghammail.net/birmingham-sport/aston-villa-fc/aston-villa-news/2012/06/06/aston-villa-live-updates-from-paul-lambert-s-unveiling-as-manager-97319-31123913/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,828 Posted June 6, 2012 Oh goodo yet another Culverhouse/Karsa thread [:''(] but i will respond.Surely it is not about whether lambert does not take them to Villa but more about would Hughton want them to stay and be part of the new set up ?

Nuff Said 5,281 Posted June 6, 2012 The conspiracy theorists on here have suggested that Villa are waiting for Hughton to join and bring his team so that they can then snap up Culverhouse and Karsa without paying compensation - and we would have to pay them off to go if they''re on rolling contracts like Lambert.Sadly it does sound plausible. [:(]I guess if we do pay them off there can be a compromise agreement that states they can''t work for Villa, but the only way I can see to get compensation would be to hang onto them even if they''re surplus to CH''s requirements.

yellow blood 0 Posted June 6, 2012 They all said that Lambert''s contract expired on 31st May too as they couldn''t grasp the concept of a "Rolling Contract". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legend Iwan 30 Posted June 6, 2012 Bit dubious about that ending. I thought, like Lambert, they were on one year rolling contracts. We shall see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Griffter will undoubtedly come back if the above happens and expect that we bow down to his demi-god greatness and hail his brilliance. [sn] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,757 Posted June 6, 2012 ...it was mentioned a whole ago that Drury was offered a ''role'', presumably coaching, so it is not too big a guess to think that offer is still valid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crab man 171 Posted June 7, 2012 spill the beans.I think we need to do all we can to hold on to Culverhouse and Karsa. The players are familiar with them and their style of training and they both know the players well, hopefully Hughton will realise their importance rather than bringing in his own team not that i''ve got anything against Calderwood etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The 12th Devine 0 Posted June 7, 2012 Let''s all move on ... send Culverhouse and Karsa to Brum and get a new backroom team in for a new manager. Not thrilled about Hughton but the man will need complete control and a team of staff he knows and trusts to do the best job possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted June 7, 2012 Hughton will know Culverhouse from his Spurs days in the 80''s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
