TRO Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I'm stuck between a RO'K and a hard place. ....seriously, I have no issues at all with Richard. I feel he has a amiable exterior and a hard interior. He can look after himself and him and Dean gel perfectly. The trio for me are a perfect fit, all having different attributes, but the same philosophy ...... it reminds me of Saunders,Barton & McLaren Richard is not one to seek the limelight, in the same way Tony Barton didn't, down to Earth pragmatic sorts that when you speak football to them they just leave you in awe. When a man has a total grip on his profession as Richard has.....Young Millionaire footballers will tap in to that not take the ****......The majority who have reached this level are on a mission to be the best, they are students of the game not free loaders like a few we have parted with. Richard will be just fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Just watched the interview. Comes across as a very humble and a genuine nice guy. Like him a lot! Edited July 14, 2019 by PieFacE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard will be just fine. It also helps when you place such sharp focus on character in both your players and your coaching team. Hell that goes for Purslow as well, as much as I've learned not to trust CEO's he is built to win. At the very least I trust his desire to achieve that. I liked the honest from RO'K. Players love a moan, they're human beings, but they still crack on regardless which is far more important. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 If he had a foreign accent he be labelled a guru. Very sensible guy and can see why Smith has him on board. A good assistant manager is so underrated. No surprise MON did **** all since Robertson retired 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khizzy Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 He's brilliant, just love listening to him and hearing that lovely accent that I've been deprived of since I moved to Sheffield last year! Talks a lot of sense, you can see that everyone on the coaching staff believe in each other and in the players and they all know what they want to achieve and how to get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 He carries off that training kit like a high class, turtlenecked art dealer. So metropolitan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted October 29, 2019 Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2019 He's got a look of mischief about him. I would bet good money that's he an hilariously imaginative swearer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hails from West Bromwich as does the manager. It's more a posh yam, yam, accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I love that he's here so much. Great contrast to the superstar John Terry in the coaching team. Said before I think Bruce was missing a guy like this. Proper training ground grease monkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Good article about O'Kelly, Doesn't get exposure he deserves like JT and Shakespeare but massively important to our progression. The inside story of the ‘unsung hero’ helping Dean Smith transform Aston Villa https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-news-richard-okelly-20195633?fbclid=IwAR2qD5DLLLbWARHlDyC_zL0hW4ofl4zblTjHOqL1fMNV2j0swpL9DCB3LtA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
