I'm not quite sure why the "f**k me" comment.Do we have to criticise absolutely everything positive that comes out of the club ?
This might not be the popular view but at least he had the bollocks to stand up to O'Neill and tell him the finances were out of control. Play them or sell them. O'Neill told him where to shove it and walked out. It has taken PF a couple of years to get up to speed on running a football club but I think the guy deserves some credit for learning quickly and bringing in a couple of very good deals. The Genting and Macron deals are great deals. He might have helped to pick a couple of dummies as managers in the last couple of years but that blip now seems to have been rectified. Good luck to him, it also gives Villa some publicity. It's about time the F.A. had someone young on their books.
Surely this can only be a good thing for the club. To do this at such a young age, fair play to him.
Hell of a blip Newby. A week is obviously a long time in football.
