hate to spoil it VH but I reckon US fans need to come here to get lessons, a packed villa park like against chelsea and nowhere is better ...

Truth; hard to beat the Holte, though to be fair, the Redskins in their glory years at RFK Stadium where the bleachers literally bounced up and down was fantastic...

Why is Randy Lerner being blamed for MON's shortcomings? It has been stated and stated time and again that MON has money to play with. He has not chosen to do so for reasons none can comprehend, yet this is Randy's fault? You apparently choose not to believe the General nor the MANAGER who have both stated that the owner backs the manager. Why? They are liars, I presume? Randy does not drive personnel acquisition. He never has nor will he ever do so. You are misguided in whom it is you choose to fault; the blame, if there is any, lies solely with MON...

If the CEO is discussing marketing strategies and the opening of new Villa-related shops, lend him an ear. Otherwise, heed MON.

this is NOT a thread for discussion between posters. GK will have a lot to look at when he comes back. if you want to discuss with other posters there are numerous other threads on exactly this topic. This one is for the club to communicate with supporters. ta. blandy

I'm sorry, Hippo, you will have to remind me of January's window and how cheap MON was then. That was a pathetic little display, wasn't it? All that money shelled out for BH and the "130 capacity holte hotel" (as if it is the fault of the owner that those who constructed the Holte back in the day did not make it a more spacious structure) definitely demonstrates how parsimonious the chairman is. It has been my wont to look at those things and think we have been spending money, but thankfully, you have cleared the mists and I now see the club for what it is: a load of cheap bastards. Well done, hippo and many thanks.
