General, just seconding 1968's opinion, MON is the MAN!! most important signing of the summer is keeping him on! Great man, great manager. All the people that hammer him will be sorry if he ever left. The fact that we're up there contesting with the top four and reaching the later stages of the cups is amazing. We are a big club with a legacy but we can't compete with the likes of chelsea and man city with money. I'm proud of the season, i love coming to villa park. As long as it's great entertainment and i continue to enjoy the games that's what matters. We can not be expected to win every single game in the league, it's just not possible. Even the likes of arsenal haven't won anything for years now. We got further than them in the cups. This season HAS been a huge success. Those who think not i feel suffer with delusions of grandeur! We fought (and still are) for 4th place, we probably wont get it this season but at least we have been yet again!! If we have hit this glass ceiling that the media go on about then is it really that bad if the ceiling is fighting around for 4th place?? Chelsea have an ageing squad, who know's what state Man United will be in when fergie goes so our time might come, just not this season. Thanks again general for keeping a great club just that.... GREAT! I love the fact you're on here, responding to our comments, giving the feedback to the club. I know we're in stable, good hands with the likes of randy and MON. Long may it continue!!

All - This thread is for questions/comments for General K. not for argument/debate between posters. Please respect the site guidlelines. Thanks, Blandy

Apologies modatators. I known i'm going off topic and you're going to tell me off. I promise I won't continue this on here after this post but I disagree with the notion that because we're season tickets that it gives us a right to demand things. It's nonsense!! You/we have a right to an opinion and nothing more. To demand things from the board such as a statement over MON is just silly. Especially when the general has already commented on the subject on this thred. What more do u need a fanfare and town cryer shouting from the top of his voice? Leave it be. We don't not have the right to tell the board how to run a business. For that right become a shareholder not a season ticket holder. I understand the frustration and I broke out into a mini sweat when I first heard the news. But is MON does leave the club I'm sure an offical press release will be issued pretty damn quick. With regards to rumours then I'm sure AVFC have more impotant things to deal with than issuing statements everytime something just isn't true.

General, I think yourself and the board are handling it right by not responding with a statement. To come out and say something can be seen as stirring the pot for the tabloids. By ignoring it you just dismiss it as the rubbish it is. How many times have we heard the immortal words from a chairman that the "Board has given full backing to their manager." Only for that said manager to be fired within a week!! Even if MON and Lerner are having heated debates over funding isn't that still a healthy relationship? People can argue and still be friends. Look at the tread here and see all the different opinions. I'm sure it can be the same in any boardroom! Until there's an official statement from the club saying MON has left the club then i'll be treating it as complete rubbish!

HEy General... Well what a game last night. Cracking tie billed for the second leg now. Great atmosphere and proves how far we've come as a team to be able to play against and during the second half out play a Champions league team!! Got a quick query too. Both my brother and I have bee awaiting our Yearbooks and claret and Blue magazines. This season we've reiceved nothing all season, yet last season we got them fine (we are season ticket holders). I've phoned the club 5 times now, on each occasion i've been told the problem will be sorted and the yearbooks are in the post but I'm still waiting. This has been going on since the Ajax game (I called up the club the day after because everyone around the pub table was talking about them and we hadn't got ours). So just wondered if you could give me a contact name for someone who i can speak to at the club to get this sorted once and for all. Last season was such a good one and I'd really like to make sure my brother and I get the yearbooks. Cheers General. Think the club is in great hands with you guys up on the board, there's no way MON will dream of going else where!!!! HA HA!

A mate came up with this last night in the pub... To the tune of my old mans a dustman John Carew's a viking, he wears a vikings hat. He plays for Aston Villa, and we're all loving that. He'll score out from the left, he'll score out from the right, And when we play the Cityyyyyy... He'll score all f**kin' night!
