Fecking Sawiris.
Anyway, Fayed was pretty shite for Fulham and so is Assem Allam for Hull. They benefited from these clubs names more than benefiting them. I'm expecting no difference. Just another business and money source for him.
Fecking Sawiris.
Sawiris family is hated here, especially his brother, Nagiub Sawiris.Ah not a fan then?
People on our forums predictably excited about him being a billionaire so character refrerences good or bad welcome.
Really? Is he still at Aston Villa? WTF!?Just realised Agbonlahor has scored one goal in each of the last three seasons.
Dunno if I'm more astonished that he's still there, or that he's only 31.
He left this summer. Was here for first two championship seasons though. Total of two goals.Really? Is he still at Aston Villa? WTF!?
Sure, no problem at all. Good luck btw.Cheers mate, will have to wait and see as Lerner and Xia were also lauded at the start.
Do you mind if I use your comments on a Villa forum I post on to add a bit of context.

So do you still have to sell Grealish because of FFP? I read somewhere that you do, or at least need to raise a lot of cash from player sales quickly still and he's one of your only real assets to do that.We put that game out on DVD a few years ago....yes I have it. They certainly don't allow challenges like McParland anymore.
I think you'll be fine, we must've put two of the worst FA cup final displays ever seen in 2000 and 2015. Hardly had a shot on target in either game.
My better half is a Villa fan and she's made up
It's been coming.
Scraping a draw against the worst team in the league (at home) probably didn't help?It's been coming.
Perfect example being Neil Warnock. How the feck is that guy managing a PL club? I mean, granted, they won't be a PL club for long, but still...Brucie is just a terrible manager, but he'll be back managing another championship team soon. These English managers never run out of jobs.
Bruce to United?It's been coming.
He's not terrible, he's just not good enough for the level that Villa aspire to and should be.Brucie is just a terrible manager, but he'll be back managing another championship team soon. These English managers never run out of jobs.
He's terrible just like all English managers.He's not terrible, he's just not good enough for the level that Villa aspire to and should be.
Because he has a very good record of getting sides promoted.Perfect example being Neil Warnock. How the feck is that guy managing a PL club? I mean, granted, they won't be a PL club for long, but still...
Not as good as Super John McGinn.So is this Grealish guy I hear about any good?
Ah ok.He's terrible just like all English managers.
I wish he would go and manage Forrest - I would to see them back in the prem again.Because he has a very good record of getting sides promoted.
He isn’t a terrible manager at all. He’s won four promotions. Took Hull to an FA Cup final. His tenure at Birmingham was probably their most successful period in 40 years.Brucie is just a terrible manager, but he'll be back managing another championship team soon.

English managers keep getting and rotating jobs nonstop at the bottom half of the premier league each season. Only the top 10 teams stay away with foreign managers.He isn’t a terrible manager at all.

‘English managers always get jobs’ is a weird thing to say given English football probably have the most foreign managers of any league in Europe.
There’s nothing unusual about indigenous managers taking jobs at domestic clubs. It’s just weird to think there is. Given Bruce has won four promotions, it’s perfectly understandable that Championship clubs give him a job.English managers keep getting and rotating jobs nonstop at the bottom half of the premier league each season.

Regarding Bruce, he's good for bottom half table teams but you can't consider a manager who's good only at this level to be generally "good". The level he's good at is pretty low. Not to mention his extinct football, as much as all English managers anyway.
Well, there's. Instead of keep hiring the same managers with their extinct football for 1-2 seasons then sack, rinse, repeat, it's better to improve more with better style of play. That will overall benefit the league in the long run and make the quality of the teams better, instead of parking the bust against every decent team.There’s nothing unusual about indigenous managers taking jobs at domestic clubs.

He's had his high spots, but he's been sacked numerous times now.He isn’t a terrible manager at all. He’s won four promotions. Took Hull to an FA Cup final. His tenure at Birmingham was probably their most successful period in 40 years.

In fairness, he has taken tonnes of clubs up, so it's only right he gets to have a few months there before the inevitable sack.Perfect example being Neil Warnock. How the feck is that guy managing a PL club? I mean, granted, they won't be a PL club for long, but still...
Who are these managers then?Well, there's.

Not sure how Big Sam is average. He has a fantastic record as a manager. 95% of managers get sacked a lot.He's had his high spots, but he's been sacked numerous times now.
He's a classic average manager on the merry go around, with the likes of Pardew, Fat Sam and many others.
He'll keep popping up somewhere, get sacked and go again.
As a Wycombe fan, I loved Martin O Neill, who had success most places he went. I find the lack of appreciation from a lot of their fans about how well he did finishing 6th 3 years in a row there incredible.I have a really unreasonable hatred of the Villa. Not that I hate them per se, as they seem a fine old club.
Nope, like all weirdo irrational football fans, my VERY FIRST conscious competitive match was the 1957 FA Cup Final watched in my mate’s back yard shed in a terraced house in Salford.
United couldn’t lose according to everyone, so disappointment all round as the cup was gifted to Villa by virtue of loads of luck, decisions etc.
I know I should have gotten over it by now, but.....Villa at that time had won the cup more than any other english club 7 times. How I envied them, little knowing we would blow them away over the next 60 years.
And I still don’t want them to win it again on my watch.
Foreign managers with new ideas to pump to the club.Who are these managers then?
Like foreign managers don’t play crap football and get sacked as well.Foreign managers with new ideas to pump to the club.
