Secretive meetings have raised a few eyebrows
Former Villa boss Martin O’Neill was spotted having secret talks with club chairman Nassef Sawiris in a service station car park last night.
The meeting fuels speculation that current Villa boss, Steve Bruce, could be sacked, following a run of poor results.
The two sat together, in Sawiris’s grey Range Rover, for 45 minutes. A spokeswoman for the Republic of Ireland team had confided O’Neill was in Birmingham the night of the meeting, but O’Neill refused to make a comment about this.
Sawiris was asked about the comment Bruce had made about the events that had passed. He said “I know nothing about this. The chairman has backed me and as far as I am concerned, I am the manager of Aston Villa Football Club”.
Yet again like O’Neill, Sawiris has nothing to say and refused to comment.
People are starting to question the Sawiris loyalties towards Bruce. Even though he said “we back Steve Bruce. He is the Villa manager. He has the chairman’s’ 100 per cent support”
Because of this Bruce being sacked is starting to become a topic of conversation and Sawiris’s name keeps creeping up in conversation.
O’Neill isn’t the first time Sawiris has been talking to other members of other football clubs. For instant Claudio Ranieiri, the former Chelsea and Leicester City boss.
