  9. sky sports said last week he had offers from 3 prem clubs.
  10. can see moyes to villa actually. would be a natural move as he would have a pretty similar situation to where he is now (league position, well run club) but with a shit load of money, whcih he'll never have at everton.
  11. equally, it is easy to comment when you dont see it every week Granted, but I'd give owt to be in their position ah aye! i'd swap them anyday! And I understand that sentiment, but from the inside looking out, it isn't quite so simple. agreed.

  14. I dont want him to be replaced, in that I think he has earned the right to carry on. The problem is, I don't trust his ability turn things around. We are now in the position where we absolutely MUST push on. I've been watching Villa since the early 1970s, but yesterday was one of the more depressing experiences, as I realised that, actually, nothing has changed since the end of last season, and despite him having months and months to replace Laursen and Barry, let alone strengthen the squad, he hasn't even begun to do it. He'll pay the price, and it will be all his own fault. i echo others sentiments that this is very much like us under bobby towards the end. our shortcomings were so obvious the season before we sacked him, yet the summer didnt see us adequately remedy it. having said that, i remember being pretty happy with the butt signing that summer (if only i knew).
  15. i do think he fucked up with cahill mind. i also think shorey was a poor piece of business, but that aside, from the outisde looking in, he's done a good job.
  16. Neither would I. The animosity towards him yesterday was really surprising. He's lost the spine of the team (not his fault) but failed to even begin replacing it (entirely his fault). Yesterday was a performance straight out of the O'Leary era. Absolutely and utterly lacking in art, in skill and in cohesion. Seems like a victim of his own success to me. Sacking O'Neil now could come back to haunt you in five years time like sacking Sir Bobby did us. O'Neil isn't perfect, but you don't go sacking a manager unless you have reasonable expectations of appointing someone who can do better. maybe, givent heir resources, they feel they can appoint someone to do better though? and for some reason, i would back lerner to get it right, or certainly more so than freddy did.

Yesterday was a performance straight out of the O'Leary era. Absolutely and utterly lacking in art, in skill and in cohesion. honestly?? villa appear, to me, to be such a well run outfit. young, predominiantly english players, with plenty of pace and a real hunger. considering where you came from, he has done an outsanding job imo. the animosity surprises me. but then again, i dont watch you every week. it could be 'scott parker/kevin nolan' syndrome on my part. THe football last season was pretty awful. Well, the football at home was very awful, horrible to watch. He's screwed up every transfer market since he has been here, and now we're starting to pay the cumulative price. yesterday we were looking for a break from the last part of last season, but what we got was actually much worse. Even the basics, we are lacking in. He will be gone by Christmas, I genuinely believe that (and have stated that here before). We're very well run at board level, but shipshod at manager level. No excuse for it. If you'd seen us yesterday, you would understand it. It isn't just about one game, it is about the cumulative effect of the last 7 or 8 months. fair play. as i said, it could be the media syndrome which makes others think you are doing well (scott parker syndrome). i know you have said that lerner is frustarted at how little he spends given the resources. who would you like to see replace him?
