  1. Great ball Delph. Superb. Another good chance goes begging.
  2. I'm liking the look of Charlie in that central role. Like a new signing!
  3. I feel a lot of sympathy for Lerner. I see him as the good-natured homeowner who hired the wrong guy to do the work. O'Neill didn't lack talent, just his methods were outdated. To go back to the abstract analogy, O'Neill put some great stuff in the house - a nice flat screen TV, some water features, but they all had to be sold off when it became apparent that the foundations were knackered.
  4. I can't see why anyone would try to do that.
  5. Yeah, it's business as usual.
  6. I bought it and started a game with Stockport County. Had a dreadful pre-season losing 1-0 a few times to unheard of opposition. Kept tweaking the tactics though and started the season with a 1-0 win. Am 5 games in now and have won all of them, scoring 9 and conceding 2. I'm having problems getting my head around training though. Seems like my players are generally unhappy with the level of training. I've not touched it too much. Any tips?
  7. I don't know how old you are, but if you think Bannan is good you'd have spiffed in your pants watching this bloke -
  8. Because if I'm running from a bear I don't need Barry Bannan pinging 60 yard passes round the forest whilst I'm doing it.
  9. You just paste the full link in (http etc) and Bob's yer auntie's live-in boyfriend.
  10. Dwight Yorke after 13 secs away at Coventry - http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/yorke-pulls-a-fast-one-1575455.html
  11. I didn't talk to NB/Warrior, although Warrior have got a football office just down the road here. Don't think I'd have fancied that. Reebok have an amazing office in Canton. I've been there before, and had a chat with them this time, but they didn't have the right role for me. Great office though.
  12. And Wigan beat us 3-0 so I'm glad we're not playing Bournemouth!
  13. Yep. Can't wait to see Harry Forrester back in a Villa shirt. Champions League here we come!
  14. What Baltimore's like did put me off a bit. I could've gone there right now, but decided to hedge my bets and hope for NYC. If it'd have been somewhere like Boston it would've been a much tougher choice.
  15. Football advisor is a bad turn of phrase on my part. What I'm trying to say is that we'd have benefitted, and still would, from someone in there who understands and has experience of the football industry. I'm checking out of this conversation now. It's become about O'Neill and I'm bored of reading it for the Nth time on VillaTalk. The key point for me is that our board lacks people with genuine football industry experience. Whether that's somebody like Graham Taylor, who is a former football manager AND chairman, or Peter Kenyon who has worked in sporting goods and been a successful football club chairman, many of the mistakes we have made - during MON's tenure and since - wouldn't, I believe, have been allowed to happen.
