Blackpool manager has gone to Villa to be assistant manager

Big loss for them I'd have thought

He hot them playing some nice football, he has a connection with Gerard so he must also rate him.

Was the same in 2012, Blackpool hired Paul Ince, Blackburn hired Henning Berg and we hired Sean Dyche. Let's hope we appoint the better manager this time as well.

I would have been happy with him as our next manager

Strange as many assistants move to take the No1 job, as the previous Villa assistant has done, rather than give one up to go back to being an assistant. Can only think he’s getting a big uplift and has taken Blackpool as far as he thought he could, but did a very good job there and undoubtedly could have taken the managers job at a bigger club in the not too distant future.

Phil Bird has tweeted the next Blackpool boss is Simon Grayson

Surprised at this news. I had him down as a possible for our job when Dyche first left. He appears to have done a really good job there. Didn’t expect him to give up a manager’s job to become an assistant.

I’m sure he has but I’m still amazed.
