TRS-T Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Richard, you know I am not going to tell you anything. I will say that the uproar over McLeish is absolutely uncalled for….he certainly has proved he can manage in the big leagues…just imagine what he could do if he was with an owner who supported him. First off, NO ONE is confirming a rumour…I am just stating a belief. You all cling to the fact that he has seen his lads relegated twice…well, the first time he was not with the Club long enough to make much of a difference. Secondly, …look at the owners he has worked for and their support of him monetarily. Then look at Randy and what he provides to his Managers. Third, look at his record with other Clubs…as a Manager and player. Check with Sir Alex and ask him about the man…you will get an entirely different sense. All I am saying is that the fact that he managed BCFC should not be the driving factor. Those fans who X the man out because he managed our biggest rival just seem to miss the point. YES, Randy and the Board understand the feelings of the Fans…we are neither deaf nor blind. At the same time, whether it would be this man or any other, we need to do what we think is right for the Club. NO action is taken without HUGE input from many knowledgeable people. Honest to goodness, if a single man can cause all the fans to abandon ship, that is a sad state of affairs. What you are basically saying is, "Randy, let us pick the Manager…we know more than you, those who are advising you, those who are in the game and know the individuals, those who make a living recommending managers and players, etc. etc" Sorry, that just doesn`t seem right to me. Again, I am not confirming the rumour…just simply stating my feelings…as a FAN!!!!!!!! General Krulak Well well well... :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 McLeish and Krulak are gone now, lets get over it and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 He made that post to me IIRC. Whilst I am not expecting an apology, or feel I should get one , what I do believe is that the assumption then that people at the club knew more about the football side of things than the fans was uterly wrong. I have said so many times since. So no apology but at least a recognition that there is not one person in a decision making role at the club who knows much about the football business would be a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 General Krulak was an AVFC PR puppet show that backfired. Time to move on now and no more shit from spinners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I'm sick of this sanctimonious attitude from some Villa fans. Been hearing it on the radio for the last few hours. Can't people just enjoy today's news for a few measly hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 What he knows about football you could write on the back of a first class stamp. For that reason I'd rather we didn't hear anything from him regarding Aston Villa again. The man spoke absolute tripe and much of it was insulting the fans intelligence.

bred Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Honestly, whats the point of even bringing this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted May 14, 2012 Administrator Share Posted May 14, 2012 That fact the General said that is nearly as crazy as a Villa fan suggesting the club should change its name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oaks Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I think the club statement is as close as an apology were gonna get, and you know what, they bring in a good manager with a fair enough if money to spend I'm happy, and will look forward to next season.

maqroll Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Is Krulak no longer a board member? If so, that's another dose of good news today No more "lads" this and "lads" that....dunno about you, but I saw right through his bullshit from Day 1...

CI Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 As far as I'm aware Krulak is still a non exec director of the club Or has he been stood down ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Very much agree...but that stamp reference is also true of RL and PF. Which is why I am scared of whats gonna happen next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I think the time for sniping and back biting is over. Randy has admitted his mistake by sacking Mcleish. Time for us to move onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
