That's a bit presumptuous, as I've never been. Blathering on about facts and then regularly citing half arsed economics from such esteemed websites as Swiss Butter Mountain or whatever it was might raise questions about ones credibility just a tad, wouldn't you agree?As I said, he lets you know where his information's from. You choose to deigrate it, which is up to you.There are several millions of pounds in unspoken settlements that indicate that he may be nearer the mark than you, Mr W. and gregnash when it comes to what's happened over the last year or so.As the above looks a bit too much like the innuendo I complained of earlier, let me just confirm that anything I have written is nothing more than conjecture, based on a personal hunch. I can't be bothered to read obscure blogs, or to pretend that I know or knew the mind of any of our departed managers.Everything he had done, or will do, has to be judged against that.

I wasn't suggesting that you don't believe that, only that you might be wrong to see things in those terms. Unless, obviously, you've got any evidence to the contrary (thet he left when he did to be vindictive).Greg, he didn't actually sue Villa - it was a Premier League tribunal. What the fuck are the board doing paying compensation out if he doesn't have a case?

Why don't you just say what you know?I know he left five days before the season started, taking his entire backroom staff with him. What I don't know is why some people seem to bend over backwards to take his side against that of the team they support.
The board agreed with him? I doubt it, somehow.Parties enter into LMA tribunals with a commitment to abide by the findings. To suggest the board agreed because they paid up us to misunderstand the way the tribunals work.
