As if the club are going to say "we've discounted manager x" halfway through talks.

I think I really dislike Paul Faulkner
Me too, Paul Faulkner is Jez Moxey light.
It never ceases to amaze me why some people take umbrage that just because it's a football club, they should be told on a blow by blow basis, about the intricacies of commercially sensitive deals before they've been concluded. Yes we're all interested, and we all want to know asap, but just because the club can't/won't/don't tell us, or don't do the media's bidding by responding to every bit of tittle tattle, does not mean that the club, the chairman or chief exec are a bunch of tossers who couldn't run a bath.

That nasty man Paul Faulkner is the reason Snow Whiter than White Martin left us.

We still have the makings of a good squad and just need somebody to get the best out of the players.

Because our Club isn't deemed big enough or geographically located well enough to attract the bigger names?What Irish villain said aboveGo back to 2007-2009 we were on a real roll. We were real movers in the PL. You could smell the burning ambition at Villa Park and we weren't just knocking on the door of the CL places, we were in amongst those places. Somethign went very badly wrong from early 2009. You could even sense it at the time.

You could even sense it at the time.I doubt you were saying that in April last year when we were challenging for the CL and about to play Chelsea in the semi-final of the FA Cup.Sure, Moscow and the subsequent 2-2 at home to Stoke fucked-up 2009 for us but the following year, only last year in fact, we were on the brink of even greater success.
