  1. I hope this is nearer the mark! This 'open season' at Villa has to stop somewhere soon before it become terminal (if its not already)! If he don't go this season he will be going next as he doesn't want to sign a new contract and the club would be stupid to allow players to go for nothing. Either way he's going and there is nothing the club can do about it really, only to get the best deal for the club money wise.
  2. General, the only time we would hear from the club if Downing were leaving is on the day the club and Downing would accept a deal, just like Ashley Young, we heard on the day he left from the club. As for you being away for the 4th of July it's only the 3rd of July today....So I assume now you will be taking your break? I personally don't remember reading that you were going off the site for a holiday, not that it matters much as you have other commitments now with the college. Will we hear any news from the club this week, any news which will give us fans a lift? The only thing that's keeping Villa fans smiling atm is what is happening over at Small Heath.
  3. Welcome back General, We didn't know you were on holiday until one of the Mods pointed it out. How did your holiday go anyway? We've been waiting around as fans do waiting for any news from the club....We've had none, are we going to expect any in the next week do you think?
  4. And you know this how ? Do you know who the targets are ? Where they have been the last two weeks ? Do you know for certain who we want, if their club will sell, and if so for a fee we're prepared to pay ? How do I know it's a priority? We have no keeper, you don't need to be a football manager to see that.
  5. Yes that's more than enough time when it's a priority.
  6. I voted no simply because we needed a keeper before he came and he would have known that and we still don't have one in place and he's had more than enough time to get one. It looks like we're no nearer to getting one either.
  7. Hi General, Out of all the premier league clubs Aston Villa are the ones who start their preseason training off last. Why does it look like most clubs will be back 4 days before us, Blackburn who we play towards the end of the month will be back 6 days before us, yet we need this preseason training more than most teams.
  8. It makes me laugh that Mcleish had Bentley at SHA and he played Sebastian Larsson in front of him, he can't be that good if he's not being picked infront of Larsson....I honestly hate the sight of the guy, everytime I see him play he's always touching his hair to make sure it's all in place.
  9. Hi General, You've said a number of times now that Randy will back the manager, but Mat Kendrick the Birmingham Mail reporter who's meant to be the closest journalist to our club just tweeted this. Most Villa fans who follow Mat Kendrick know he's close to Villa and the stuff he reports is often correct, yes he's still a journalist and may get things wrong from time to time, but people will believe what he has to say. So Randy always backs his manager, but we can only buy a keeper. People are going to love hearing that when deciding if to buy a season ticket on top of Randy hiring Mcleish, Ashley leaving the club and now Downing looks likely to also.

  11. The Mirror already has the picture on their website Here
  12. Yeah I've got a bet on us to be relegated. Expecting the odds to shorten up a fair bit and then I'll be able to lay it for a guaranteed profit. I cant see us being relegated even with Mcleish in charge. Luckily there will be some poor sides next season. I would be amazed if provided he stays at the helm if we finish in the top half. We certainly wont get the gates or shirt sales as previous seasons which will unfortunately hurt the club. Brad gone, Ashley gone, Reo gone, Downing will go and whoever else wants to go. Our team don't look that good after they leave, we have no replacements as yet and other teams will already have had a few weeks to speak to targets, some targets which may have been ours, unless they've gone for Houlliers list of targets and they were just trying to find a manager that would accept Houlliers targets as his own.
  13. When Randy/Paul appoints McLeish at 6pm and this thread gets locked....How long before the next manager thread will open....3 months? 6 months....Later today?
  14. This is exactly how I felt too General. What sort of fool does this to a club they supposedly love? My greatest fear now is that Randy will pack it in. Please, try and see through the disgraceful behaviour and see the passion of the supporters. Randy will make the right choice of manager, I am sure of that, whoever that is. Here is a post from West Midlands police on twitter. http://twitter.com/WMPVillaFC
  15. Hi General, I was in work today and some of the office staff there started talking about Aston Villa even though none of them support Aston Villa, seeing as they knew I'm an Aston Villa fan they decided to call me over and question me.....Some of the questions I had no answer for and standing in front of them trying to make things up to save face isn't my thing so I didn't answer some of them, questions like what are your club thinking giving the job to Mcleish? I couldn't answer that........ Why have so many managers been linked with your club and then the media reporting they've turned you down, to which I said that's the media just making our club look like a joke, but it seems like the club is making themselves look like a joke now. So what our club looks like a joke?..It's not like the Board, Randy or Paul who will have to listen to people say that daily to them. I can handle the club being called a joke, but it's real sad when you find yourself agreeing with them even though it's MY club they're talking about. "shakes head"
  16. Hi General, I have 3 questions 1: Does the club have any plans to lower the seat prices to try and entice some of the fans back that will be staying away from Villa Park if you employ Mcleish? 2: I don't know if you watch much Scottish football General, but would Rangers appoint Neil Lennon as manager if he left Celtic? 3: How does the club intend to stop our best players leaving?
