I am a true Villa fan, but the climate was set by Fitzgerald for this transfer window telling us what was about to happen, ie top class signings etc.a To a lot of Villa fans their expectations were set in motion. I suggest to anyone of authority at Villa, who has the ear of the press and media be guarded what you say in that public arena especially when it concerns or can determine how or what fans think. Next time don't say anything at all, actions speak louder than words. What we don't know won't hurt us. What was said to what has actually happened seem worlds apart to a lot of fans. I myself believe and want for you Randy and MON to be at Aston Villa for a long, long time and I am quite happy to accept the ups and downs that go with supporting Villa. But and it's a big but, do not say anything, deliver first, we do not need to know , just do it, and most fans will be happy when we sign a player we did not know we were going to buy. If the end result is good who are we to argue, but if you tell us what you intend to do and it goes pear shaped then your going to get a gob full. So on conclusion anyone who has got a big gob and access to the media, have a word with them first, make them choose their words carefully otherwise the masses heaven forbid might get it wrong.
PS if the media are telling us crap and you know it, be quick to disclaim it.
