Hi General, What does it feel like to be treated like a Secretary? most of my friends (theres about 8 of us) got our season tickets last week, one of our Friends did not, so he called the ticket office, they had sent it. He was told to wait a few days if nothing had arrived to call back. Which he duly did and his ticket was re-issued and he got it this week, very efficient...so back to my question, do you think as adults people should get on the phone and sort their issues out or are that stupid that they can't? did you know that the post office in the UK has a failure rate, that is not any fault of AVFC? Do you think that people are just looking for excuses to have a go at AVFC? Do some people make your blood boil? Do you wish you could still use napalm?

Hi General, Looking forward to kick off Just wondering how the ground is fairing up after the Take that concert? Would you do it again? Would the groundsman want it to happen again? Like I said looking forward to the 20th, as are my mates

Hi General, Can you urge the board to get a move on with some more good news, it's a daily battle with negative villa fans and it's dragging down my positivity and I'm sure it's also wearing on other positive Villa fans. I would go as far to say that there are a certain element of Villa fans who are desperate for McLeish to fail so they can be proved right...unfortunately these idiots dont see the connection...so to help, the board DO NEED to communicate and take some positive actions sooner rather than later, honestly it's not a time to bury heads in the sand "Don't let the bastards drag you down"

Hi General Can I offer my support...what can you do when a player wants to leave? His decision is indicative of his character rather than Randy's... At least we can boast a world record from this sale...it has to be the highest fee on record paid for a snake!! Good riddance and make us happy with some talent...I really don't think he's hard to replace, does AM think the same?

Hi General, I don't know if this has been answered (can't see it) when's the new home shirt being released?

Hi General, One of my fellow posters mentioned selling a half season ticket from the beginning of the season, I think it's a good idea, what do you think?

Hi General, Completey new question What's happened to American Sports and sports people? I went to high school and college in the states ( go Bama!) and the states dominated in most sports but now you struggle I.e golf, boxing, tennis, athletics etc just interested on your take as to why this is the case?

Hi General, I for one am glad you are speaking to the fans, it's unique and it gives us an insight to what's happening. How's the season tickets going? Are we are on track? As I said before all 5 of us have renewed with 2 new season tickets, these 2 were purchased by some friends who wanted to show Randy support UTV

Hi General I think vital that you understand that there's a lot of Villa fans who are still 100% behind Randy. I have renewed and Alex McLeish is now a AVFC Manager and therefore deserves our full backing My question is however; if this appointment goes wrong (and I hope it doesn't) what can we do differently next time to ensure the next appointment process isn't such a calamity? Was Alex our first choice? Have you factored in fewer season ticket sales? I hope fellow fans don't boycott because that will ultimately hurt the club

Hi General I'm dead against this appointment but I am also dead against the uncalled low life abuse you received, not called for! Can you look at B6Bloke idea, about a half season ticket from the beginning of the season, I think it is a great idea. I even think it would take some pressure off McLeish because if he doesn't work we haven't wasted too much money and in respect, it's a gamble that the board are willing to take but as you see, a lot of fans aren't..therefore we shouldnt be made to pay for the boards mistakes if that so transpires..if he is the manager you believe he is then people will extend. Again I personally don't want McLeish but I don't want Randy to go anywhere UTV

General In the interview can you ask McLeish one question for me Would he Manage Celtic if he was offered the job?

Hi General, Even interviewing Alex McLeish is giving the big bird to every fan! Do you hold us in such contempt? I will wait until anything is announced but if it transpires that McLeish is employed 4 season tickets will be going back. We have to endure GH all year, I saw some of the most boring, toothless football last year and I was willing to stick with your vision, but not if it's McLeish...the board made that appointment and screwed it up, your about the screw it up further but we need to be good little fans and except it? Because you, who have only been in football for a few years, say so? I was born a Villan and I will die a Villan the only experts you need to listen too is the ones who make this club thrive, which is us...go and do what you want but don't go crying about fans not turning up Let me assure you, you have made a massive error of Judgement, I might be insignificant to you as a fan but I am not alone

Hi General if the statement on Facebook did indeed come from yourself can I pick you up on a point. If Sir Alex is being used as a yardstick then please research Sir Alex's stance on Gabriel Heinz moving from Man Utd to Liverpool...then you will see you are breaking the ground rules that even Sir Alex follows

Hi General, At what point do you and the board disregard the Villa fans views? Are AVFC at the point where the board doesn't care what we think? What do you think the general feeling is towards fans and football? I personally think football is becoming detached from it's fans? How important are we? Do you see the correlation between belief and attendences? What do feel is our genuine recourse is, should the club appoint or act in unreasonable manner? You promised the club would communicate to it's fans on a regular basis, why are we being treated like mushrooms? Do you understand that for some of us the season ticket is a big proportion of our yearly income and this amount is relative, it might be Randys millions, but it is all relative Please release a statement that we not after a certain manager I don't believe the latest sky sports news but if there is a modicum of truth, please, please reconsider. This decision, which I am sure is untrue would kill our club, destroy Randy's investment & good name..he is a legend at the moment of which I am very proud

Thanks General for your update Just a quick question, who are the experts that you refer too? I trust you guys to take us forward and I'm assured you wouldn't do anything stupid I.e. Make McCleish our manager from our bitter, hated, low life, scumbag neighbours...no one (including the experts) surely would underestimate the hatred we have for that club and anything or anyone connected with it I.e. Pittsburg is relatively loved by the browns fans compared to Villa and them Anyway, again thanks for keeping us in the loop

Hi General, You must be sick of all reactionary BS coming your way? I must admit over the past few days I have been pulled into the Media merry go round and started to believe their BS. However I had to check myself. My club has acted in responsible and professional manner that I am actually proud of. We as a group of fans are so hypocritical (and I include myself), if you ask a lot of Villa fans what they think of Redknapp, they will say they don't like him because of the way he uses the media to "tap up" players. Yet we criticise the club for being discreet in their dealings. Not once have AVFC stated we were tracking a certain Manager, its all being made up by the media and the bookies..Ive learnt my lesson, in the future I'll be patient and wait for a AVFC statement I just want to say thanks, sorry and keep up the good work p.s. Myself and my 4 friends have just renewed our season tickets and we are looking forward to a good year...just waiting on the news of when I can get my new shirt

Hi General, Can I just say if it's Rafa, then can you ask him to not to refer to Liverpool on a regular basis, other than that I would be a happy fan with his appointment

General, Do you pass our concerns onto Randy and how do you do it? For instance; In my view putting Steve McClaren in charge of Villa would be like putting Benedict Arnold in charge of the Marines. I know in my bones you guys will make a good choice, has you have seen it's vital, looking forward to renewing my season ticket because I think we are going to have a good year

General, Out of interest, do you, Randy and the team take a long break over this period? or has this situation postponed your vacations ? Where do you like vacationing?

I just to echo Big Johns comments...most of my friends including me, believe Randy is the best thing to happen to Villa in a long time..as a fan, no matter what happens I will support the Villa, through thick and thin..what MON did to our team was unacceptable as a man & professional, his timing was severely detrimental to our club and hampered our season, then GH, I really feel for GH and hope he gets better, but as a Manager he has been poor, very poor, Ancelotti has been sacked for finishing 2nd yet we seem to be happy to stick with a manager who guided us to a relegation fight, with the players we have that should not have happened...have people already forgotten Liverpool, what he did was unacceptable, why are we waiting for a drs decision when that decision should already be made. Again we need to detach ourselves from GH's condition and look at his capabilities...that's probably what a lot of people refer to as dithering...remember General, as fans we have seen it all before and we definitely know the difference between good and bad

General, a few weeks ago Stewie Downing said he would play for the villa in the championship, he then has a mtg with Paul Faulkener and almost immediately said he wanted to look at his options, what happened? Is this a ploy by his agent to increase his wages? Please, I have utter faith in the board and especially the owner at Villa, please don't let us go through what we have just been through ever again...

Completely agree on above posts, dithering now on a manager will effect season ticket sales, we need a top manager to take us forward...also agree about those bells, keep expecting Trevor macdonald to make an announcement

To honour our owner what about the Star spangled banner It would go down well in the states and makes us their favourite team

Hi General, My question is in regards to Brad, who has been an absolute professional at our club If his problems are as reported can we not arrange him a testimonial against Blackburn? I know its not the done thing these days and he's not been at the club for 10 years but he has been a model professional and an absolute credit to the game..I also think it would be great PR and would show Villa as that 'Family' that we talk about

Just a thought, as Mr McGregor is one of the founding members of the league I reckon we are in our rights to nick, three lions, changing England for Villa it's comin home, it's comin home, its comin, Football's comin home its comin home, its comin home, its comin Villa's comin home etc Everyone knows that villa will score they've seen it all before they just know, there so sure But Villa's ...gonna blow them away gonna show them the way gonna show how to play cos i remember, One lion on the shirt European cup still gleaming Claret and blue shirts Never stop the dreaming so many cups, so many cheers and all those happy years when you've been, up through the years But i still see that tackle by Mcgrath and when benty scored Withe'y belting the ball and ashley dancing One lion on the shirt European cup still gleaming Claret and blue shirts Never stop the dreaming that was then and its gonna be again!! it's comin home, it's comin home, its comin, Football's comin home its comin home, its comin home, its comin Villa's comin home etc reckon we could get Benty doing the rapping?? Bit of fun anyway!! everyone loves this tune!! UP THE VILLA
