He's trying to get a new 'business' off the ground in Aston Villa, so for the time being that IS his day job. That's my take. On a much smaller scale (obviously!) my business more or less runs itself now and we've only 5 employees and a couple of contractors. Get the right people that you trust and they're pretty self sufficient, I spend maybe 10-15 hours a week working on it whilst dedicating the rest of my time to other ventures* *Mostly VillaTalk and Twitter right now! And business hours in Asia are in full swing while you guys are asleep. Blokes like this tend to work 16-18 hour days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about the Adebayor saga. I recall him scoring on his debut and thinking how blinking typical, we missed out and now he's going to be a revelation. Checking back now he made 7 appearances and scored 1 goal last year. I think we had a lucky escape as he would more likely than not have made no impact on our disaster of a season whilst sucking the kind of money out of the club that Nzogbia and Gabby combined could only dream of.

Oh yeah he would have been a disaster for sure but, because of us having no other targets, it was obvious we were after a striker but had put all our eggs into one Adebayor-shaped basket. If our preferred no.9 is a difficult target to land, I'm more confident this time around that we'll actually have an alternative in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolutely right that Tony focuses on long-term planning and investment - RDM and the players job is to focus on Derby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry wasn't disagreeing with you, just some musings after being reminded about Adebayor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
