This is going to be my only post on this biased thread.
GH took ever from our former manager, who resigned with 5 days to go to the new season and dropped us totally in the fertiliser. That manager spent a fortune on average players. When Lerner did not want to fund him anymore unless he did something about the high wages and solvency, he didn't want to know.
GH was brought in to sort the issues out that Lerner wanted from our previous manager.
He was faced with an incredible injury period. He had to deal with player power and players that did not want to give their best for our beloved club. He maybe tried to change the style of football too quickly for players who were too thick and lacking in technical capability. However under all those issues, he managed to get players to pass the ball to each other and retain the ball, instead of pumping the ball up the middle and losing possession. He suffered very badly from not havig a good goalscorer for half a season. He got Bent in on the first opportunity to buy players. Bent made a big difference to the team. He got Walker in and he did a great job for us. Makoun is a very imtelligent player who is too good for some of the average players that are now being shipped out.
Had he not had his illness, I am convinced that Lerner would have spent the money on players for him, and I am certain, he would have got us some excellent players in. I am convinced that if he was well enough, he would have got us into the top 6 next year.
I am a Staunch villa supporter since 1956 and I feel ashamed that so many Villa supporters are so blinkered and so vicious about the man. He did a very good job under very difficult circumstances.
Enough said and I certainly do not agree with the moderator who started this thread, who I think is biased.
I genuinley wish GH good health and am so sorry that he has been forced to leave in such a difficult situation for him. I think Lerner had no choice but relieve him of his duties for health reasons and I respect that.
I support the club and all who sail in her. That includes the Directors, Manager, Players and whoever is involved in our beloved club.
Anyway. enough said and you can now say what you like, but I will not be posting back on this thread, but I feel it is only fair to put my side of the coin. I just hope whoever comes in as the new manager, you do not treat the next manager in the same disgusting way.
UTV and remember Randy is the person funding our club and you should be supporting him and the people he employs.
