Reality Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 It also can be unsettling to a team who have an FA-Cup semi to take part in, and also will upset potential summer targets... Not denying or confirming a manager going has serious implications for the club as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Or am i being too cynical? It wasn't quite the response I was expecting either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Top Class: Ashley Young, Richard Dunne, James Milner. Good Solid buys: Carew, Collins, Warnock, L.Young, C.Cuellar, Reo-Coker, S.Downing, S.Petrov. Potentially very good: Davies, Delph, Guzan. Average (have done an okay job but not really good enough): Heskey, Sidwell (potentially good mind!), Beye, Harewood, Knight, Maloney. just poor: Shorey, Carson. Does it really matter:!? Routledge, Salifou, Sutton, Agathe, Marshall. So thats about the best part of £30million on poor to average players... Nothing to worry about then!.. £25 Million out of £130 Million gross spend isn't that bad. It's all about opinions, for example, I know some people don't like Reo-Coker or Davies. I do.

dudley_villa Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Something has definitely happened, going by the Generals post. He hasn't confirmed or denied anything. A simple "He isn't going anywhere" would suffice. People can clutch at straws, Mantis likes to do that and think nothing has happened, but there has been confirmations and denials about other less serious things. I think he has handed in his notice and will stay until the summer. I heard he offered his resignation letter in on friday gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I also don't see anything wrong with General's comments. Didn't the rumour about O'Neill come from like a VillaBlog rumour or something? not actually any sort of information/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are overly cynical the General's post made it pretty clear MON isn't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then says he is upset he won't get money for the sale to replace James?? Oh and how hes really upset he had to sell Craig Gardner! :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :?

AVFC1874 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Every year MON has been in charge we have stopped playing well from march til the end of the season pretty much. I keep hearing this. Not sure its actually true or its something people are clinging onto now we've had a bad week. Can't help but thinking we could well win a couple on the bounce and suddenly everything looks different Bit of a positive stat anyway considering all i have heard is how shit we are in March and generally - April under O Neill - 14 games and 1 defeat. His first season we won away at Blackburn, Boro and Man City in April. In 2008 we beat Blues 5-1, Bolton 4-0, also won 6-0 at Derby in April. Last season in our bad run we had three draws and lost last minute at Man United. Seems its usually quite a good month for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heskey - £3.5 Million Sidwell - £5 Million Beye - £2.5 Million. Harewood - £4 Million Knight - £3.5 Million Maloney - £1 Million Shorey - £4 Million. Scott Carson - Loan Wayne Routledge - £1 Million Salifou - £0? Agathe - £0? Sutton - £0? That's £24.5 Million. We also have made £7 Million back from these transfers and most likely, Harewood, Shorey, Beye will also be gone. Possibly Heskey and Sidwell.

Sorry lad but your blind. All he had to say 'he isn't going anywhere'. Job done. Not some shite about Elvis. Yeah but he can't say 'he isn't going anywhere'....football is a weird game but he's pretty much stated he's not going anywhere by saying, hey Elvis is still dead despite people seeing him in tesco's. I.e despite rumours, he's still here! General cannot say he isn't going anywhere because he simply doesn't know what O'Neill feels, so he's just basically saying the rumour that O'Neill has resigned is wrong which is obvious by now anyway.

O'Neill hasn't resigned, no, but i'm sure i speak for a lot of people who saw Generals post in saying that something isn't right at VP and no amount of politicians answers will cover that fully.
