Bears 0 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Frank Rijkaard is taking over at Villa. He probably knows Cuellor from his time in Spain. Where did you hear that? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Sorry just checked again and there has been a later update that Rijkaard is denying it and saying he has had no contact with Villa. Apologies but they were saying it was signed and sealed this afternoon and I have been out since then. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,461 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Birmingham City have refused to accept Alex McLeish's resignation as manager and are seeking financial compensation, BBC Sport understands. The Scot has been linked with a move to Aston Villa but Blues have received no official approach from Villa Park. "Birmingham will hold McLeish to his contract unless a compensation payment is thrashed out," said BBC 5 live's Midlands football reporter Pat Murphy. ALEX McLEISH'S CAREER Continue reading the main story Joined Aberden in 1976 Spent 15 years with the Dons, playing under Sir Alex Ferguson Won 77 caps for Scotland Managed Motherwell, Hibs and Rangers in Scotland Guided Gers to domestic treble in 2003 Became Scotland manager in January 2007, beating France 1-0 in Paris later that year Joined Birmingham in November 2007, saw them relegated in 2008 but brought them back at the first attempt Guided Birmingham to Carling Cup triumph in February 2011, but Blues are relegated on final day of the season Acting chairman Peter Pannu is meeting legal representatives on Monday. Pannu has described McLeish's resignation, via email on Sunday, as "irresponsible". The former Rangers manager has two-and-a-quarter years remaining on the contract he signed at St Andrew's in November 2007. Pannu told the Daily Express: "He is still our contracted staff and Birmingham City FC does not grant him any right to speak to any outsiders until the matter is resolved. "It's about time discipline is instilled into this game and I am not a person who gets pushed about." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/13747057.stm 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Seems fair enough. If managers can receive a huge pay off when they are dismissed due to their contract then it works both ways. He can't just expect to walk into another job without giving them compensation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 PS He also supposedly sent his resignation by email. That's a bit poor. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
