  1. Hollis is a weird one, I am completely in support of him doing what he does, and it is needed at this shambles of a club. As much as anyone though, he knows the remit of Lerner wants, was employed directly by him and there were long discussions before taking on the role. So unless Lener has completely overruled anything Hollis had put forward as well then he is part of this situation too.
  2. I've been fine with him playing the dross that we've had all season up till the point of guaranteed relegation. Now it has happened for the remaining games any bad apples and players we don't want here or won't be here next season should all be left out. There have been some first team players that have severely been let down by there teammates. I reckon there's some in there who would look like better players amongst a different group next season. Hopefully this is obvious to the club who they are, because I guess to fans, most appear as bad as each other. So ultimately the remaining games should be those who have given a f**k behind the scenes and some of the promising youth players. If this were happen I'd love that team to embarrass those that are not there, first of all in effort and passion and then if we got some good results it would be a bonus.
  3. That's spot on. I don't really have an opinion on who is next manager, well that's not strictly true, but there's no one I can say, yes that's the man I want in charge! Most my opinions of the candidates are negative ones. Of course there needs to be knowledge, leadership and motivational skills but a football manager's success is so much reliant on luck to do with the right man, right time, right club, It just needs to all click. Probably all experienced highly rated managers have failed at one or more clubs. Anyone one of these candidates could be the right man at the right time for us, so I'll just wait and support the new manager when he arrives. Whoever it is has got enough to deal with without fans questioning him from the start.
  4. Think it was Sharps that did a Cornish lager called Storm. I think they stopped doing it or at least rebranded it as I can't find it. It may because of being on holiday etc but it was lovely. Tonight I have been drinking Rogue 7hop IPA, The Kernel IPA (mosaic) and Left handed giant USPA
  5. Its an awful situation that is made worse because of the football side of it and its very difficult to make an argument when you've got employees of the club on ridiculous high wages and others about to lose their jobs. As it stands, it appears we have been run in a terrible way from top to bottom, on and off the pitch, in all areas of the business. Relegation or not I think it really needed someone like Hollis to come in and assess all operations and make sure they are being ran correctly and money isn't being spunked up the wall. When it comes to operations, I think you have to view it as a seperate business, you need to be making money and keeping costs down. Having one less player earning £50,000 a week might effectively help the books but it doesn't mean the business is being run any better. It probably isn't just the football side of things why we last so much money last year, we are a mess throughout. Redundencies should be a last resort, I hope Villa are doing everything they can to avoid it, and aren't just trying to take the easy option to cut costs. It needs to be right for the business, too few stewards, catering and retail staff etc and they are going to have shot themselves in the foot.
  6. Went to this today, I actually got on with her alright. It was a complete waste of time though, the salary is going to be less than what was advertised and less than I am currently on. Good job I didn't have to go far for the interview.
  7. I let my brother use my Spotify account. He has ruined my suggested artists section, with the fact he mostly listens to a load of shite. It is now suggesting artists similar to Adele, Craig David, Bieber, Ne-Yo and Westlife that I might want to try
  8. I've worked in places which have got rid of people easily but now working at a University it's a nightmare unless, it's a straight forward gross dismissal case. Even then it has to be done textbook. I suppose it is a good thing that workers rights are well protected, but you always have that waste of space that takes advantage and drags out the inevitable for as long as they possibly can.
  9. It's my Grandads house, the brother of his next door neighbour said he was interested a while ago if we were going to sell if my grandad went into a care home, which he didn't end up doing. He apparently is still interested but nothing more than that currently as there hasn't been an offer I haven't got a value on it. I also have no idea what his situation is, whether he owns already and needs to sell or any other possible factors.
  10. I have just started arranging a couple of valuations, but that's as far as I've got.
  11. Anybody have any advise or information on selling a house without using an estate agent? Having never bought or sold a house before, I don't really know the ins and outs of what an estate agent does, but say I had a potential buyer already how easy is it to avoid paying estate agent fees?
  12. Just been offered an interview, only to find that the potential new boss used to work where I do currently. I never worked directly with her but my overall opinion was that she was shit at her job.
  13. I like him and think he has the potential to be a good manager at the right club. Though as I said a couple of weeks ago, we need to have as little as possible of this season hanging over us next season, a complete fresh start and Remi going is needed for that fresh start. It doesn't matter who is next manager unless off the pitch is sorted as much as it can be under Lerner. Hopefully the things that are happening at the moment is the start of this.
  14. More or less wrote my Grandad's eulogy today. The funeral was delayed as it went to the coroner, although in the end they said there was no need for it to of gone to them. I've made it hard for myself but as long as I get through the first bit ok I should be fine. The final bit will undoubtedly be hard as well but it won't matter whether I keep it together, so much. On Friday I'll finally be able to say good bye to him.
  15. Or Plan B just spend the bulk of the time at The Gully or The Blues (unfortunate name aside)
  16. My description probably wasn't great I just tried to describe various dairy products. Surely they can't be vegan if they eat eggs. To be honest I find it weird that vegetarians eat eggs unless they are vegetarians because they don't like the texture of meat.
  17. That would be my issue. While I'm a meat eating, slightly ignorant bastard. I appreciate others think differently but but to try and categorise yourself as a vegan but you'rebasically a vegetarian is just taking the piss.
  18. I learnt a new dietary requirement yesterday. A lacto-vegan, a vegan who consumes milk by-products. Oh F**k off!
  19. After a shit day/week, nipped into a pub on the way home and a refreshing pint of Wild beer, Fresh. Now off till Wednesday!
  20. I hired a Mustang when I was in Miami. A lot were probably rentals like mine but they were very common on South Beach, much more so than a fiesta here. Although it was also cheaper to rent than it would be for a fiesta here. As for the car itself, I liked the Mustang but I don't think I'd get one if I had the choice.
  21. I'm in a bit of a tricky situation as I'm at the stage where I'd like to move in with my girlfriend and she wants me to move in too. Currently financially it is not realistically possible, as it would actually cost me much more to live with her than it does now. Things hopefully will be changing soon, I just don't have a timescale. It could be 3 months, it could be a fair bit longer. I just feel a bit shit that I can't be more definite. We've not even been going out a year yet so it's not like I've been putting her off for ages. It is the only option as it would put the relationship under too much pressure if I moved in and had no money. Hopefully it's not going to be an issue but it is a concern I have.
  22. Had a couple of bets on Diego Du Charmil, which saved the day.
  23. My bus is late and the girl next to me sounds like she was taught to speak by Stephen Hawking.
