morty 0 Posted June 3, 2012 [quote user="Dibs"]Has this got anything to do with Fox,Jackson & Ward signing contracts knowing that Culverhouse isstaying.Yes I know 2+2=5. just a thought.[/quote]I think I heard they were just automatic clauses that were triggered.Good lateral thinking though.[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,224 Posted June 3, 2012 Yeah, they are automatic clauses installed in contracts that the club can activate and of which the players have no say in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harry 0 Posted June 3, 2012 Thompson was at Villa for 2 seasons, he was also playing for Celtic at the same time as Lambert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 27 Posted June 3, 2012 If Culverhouse stays here it won''t and indeed shouldn''t be as manager, big difference between being a coach and a manager and I can''t see Mcnally taking any risks. I would imagine he''ll be following the traitor to Villa Park anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted June 3, 2012 Just announced. I notice that he used to play for Villa and played under Martin O''Neill. Just got me thinking ........ 2 + 2 = ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted June 4, 2012 I didn''t realise Molby was at Celtic. You could tell he had quality when he played for us, but unfortunately he was very fat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
