General, the last year in the life of a Villa fan has been truly miserable. And so it continues.

Splendid!!

Rabbit out of the hat, potentially.

General, this is bad. I like GH, he seems like a well educated guy, but the lack of respect he has shown to AVFC thus far leaves me dumbfounded. If he stroked the LFC sign, applauded the Liverpool fans, ignored the Villa fans and really said what he is quoted as saying after the game, then the man no longer has my support as manager of Aston Villa. For what it's worth, I was a staunch MON supporter and was bitterly disappointed when he left, yet I understand this was beyond the control of the club as MON is his own man and chose to leave us high and dry so close to the season that it gave us no hope of really achieving anything this year. The AVFC board has shown that it's amongst the best in the league, so we have utmost faith in Randy, your good self and the whole crew to get the house in order. But for his conduct this evening alone, GH has sealed his own faith.

GREAT idea!

It's ok General, I'm thinking about BUYING my first ever season ticket Swings and roundabouts.

G'day General, let me see if I can raise a minor issue regarding the official site. There was some discussion a while back about attendances for certain games and I'm assuming the life blood of AVFC is to get bums on seats regularly. Surely we could simplify the Online Sales process, for the 'newbie' visitor to avfc.co.uk, to make it ridiculously simple to purchase tickets without having the Sales page 4-5 clicks away from the initial splash/homepage. I guess I'm talking about a big, unmissable "Click Here To Buy Tickets" somewhere on the homepage permanently. I understand registration is essential to vet fans and ensure no away/troublesome fans get access to home areas, but if the club is trying to attract new fans to go with the new Villa then perhaps we could make it as painless and user-friendly as possible? You never know, you might get some ticket sales on impluse (like most of mine) and before you know it, there's another Villan born. Just a thought!

General any word on when we can expect Kaka at Bodymoor? In all seriousness, what do you make of the figures being quoted, considering it's nearly double what Randy paid for the entire club!!!

Great to have you back General.

General, wow. Just wow.

General this isn't a question on the forbidden subect, but is there any chance you could shed some light on the Shaun Maloney situation, we all rate him very highly despite his well documented home sickness. His absence from the action lately has started the chinese whispers. The guy is an absolute talent but has struggled to settle since his arrival, if he was to find his feet we all know we'd have one helluva player on our hands.

General please be reassured that it's not Villa fans perpetuating this £30m crap, so god only knows who those articles are aimed at :shock:

General you have to love the rollercoaster ride of life as a Villa fan

And similarly we hate to see public bashing of the Manager! General do you see a way back for Gareth after all that's been said and done or is it generally accepted within the club that his eventual departure is inevitable? If the protracted move should fail to materialize for whatever reason or the asking price isn't met, what then?

Right anyway while that storm in a tea cup is brewing, General can I just say Sidwell is a great addition to AVFC, he single handedly tore us apart 2 seasons ago.
