yeh but its a untrue statement when we've finished 6th for the last 3 seasons and above his old club liverpool last season i may add.

i have gone from been pleased hes been appointed to unsure after his "we belong between 7th and 12th" we've finished 6th for the last 3 seasons. Or maybe hes just trying to downplay expectations?

someone send a email in to sky sports news and tell em to get there facts straight please, it reflects bad on all of us.

do you think stevie g might want to end his career playing under his favourtite manager? :winkold: lol

welcome gerard.. im quite happy with the appointment his record speaks for itself. Well done randy!!! Just hope Macdonald is his assistant or first team coach at least.

:notworthy: The lack of respect for Mr Lerner and the General by certain contributors on here is quite shocking. It appears that the tabloid press journalists and that font of all knowledge, Sky Sports News, are far more believable than a couple of people who have brought so many positives to our club and never given us any reason to question their honesty and integrity. If Mr Lerner were to just appoint KMac after putting up a pretence, why is he staying in Birmingham and travelling up and down to various European destinations in his search for a manager? All he would need to do is sit at home, make the 'pretence' that is described above, and appoint KMac. And on the subject of KMac, a great Villa man, some of the comments about him on here are disgraceful. He has been thrown into the lion's den merely by stepping forward at a point when the club was in need. He has been at our club for 15 years, and deserves far more respect than his detractors are showing him. well said mate. now who are you putting your money on? :winkold: lol

im sorry but theres some right idiots on here, thankfully our 36,000-38,000 attendences are not all villatalkers. As for the new manager still think we could get Jol if ajax go out the champions league tonight.

lets hope we get through first but if we do im sure they will.

im hoping but may be way off the mark that we may be able to get Jol if ajax go out the champions league tomorrow night.

good read that was and i agree with everything said in it.

MON left because he didnt get the money he wanted and didnt trim the wage bill, MON has now gone yet the wage bill has not been trimmed. why does everyone still think were gonna have money to spend? especially if we have to pay compensation for a new manager?

Hi general, first of all i want to say how proud i am of the lads that Kev Mac took to vienna and produced a battling performance the futures definately bright. Secondly am i right in thinking our deal with nike ends this season? if so are we looking on extending it beyond this season? UTV!!!!

and during the match after they scored 1-1: And yet we manage a good away result, thus achieving a lot better than this person have been expected. Then you should expect some happiness. No **** way. Then it is: my thoughts exactly, some people are never happy on here. Im extremley proud of the lads this morning for that battling performance and a good result. Did some people really expect us to play a weakened side and still batter a good rapid vienna side?

hahahaha tell me about it, ive had bluenose mates txting and ringing me today laughing saying bob bradleys our new manager. No thank you. im with a few on here i'd like to see kevin Macdonald given a chance, hes well respected knows the club inside out and its about time good coaches like him are rewarded for the job they do for a change.

i agree with this. cheers for replying general but its pretty obvious whos side your gonna take. you said MON didnt do nothing to help the wage to revenue costs? what can he do if other clubs are not bidding for players we want off the wage bill? and i take it because of the wage to revenue issue we are not able to offer new contracts to our best players, which will see them leave in the not too distant future.

I think Ireland is a very good attacking midfielder who is clearly surplus to requirements at City. Milner is a more rounded and more hardworking player but I don't see it as an either / or for Villa. Given the choice I'd have Milner every time but I think Ireland could be a good signing for us but with us keeping Milner! aqree with all of that mate.

what a joke, think it will be the first time in 17 years of having a season ticket that i wont be wearing the new home shirt on the first day of the season.

its amazing how a lot of people now think ireland is a better player than milner, bet few would of said that a few months back. Im not saying i wouldnt want ireland hes a decent player but not as good as milner in my opinion.

wish man city would just hurry up and pay the money. i feel like im having a deja-vu from 2 years ago, just waiting for the News of the world article blasting MON now.

surely at least the home one is gonna be out before the start of the season.

people will moan about anything.. if we'd kept it similar to last season everyone would be moaning saying its just the same as last seasons with a new sponser on. it is pre-season though and i understand that people cant moan about MON's tactics and players selections at this time of year :winkold:

i do actually like to get the goalkeeper shirt because i play in goal sometimes. please tell me there going to be another one?

i really like it, i always get the new shirt anyway but i think this is defo the best home shirt nike have done for us.

yes ive been impressed with him, looks quality and also looks a bit like albrighton lol.

just been watching sky sports news, alan shearer was saying theres no need for him to move because hes playing under a great manager in MON who has developed him well and he dont see man city as a step up. nice to see him saying nice stuff about us.
