Nigel Kennedy

[peter w]

he could have been peed, stressed, tired, had a blinding headache, could have been on a huge (natural) high after a performamnce...anything that led to him getting carried away. I bet he doesn't really think this way and I bet he has his season-ticket next season.

I have met him quite a few times whilst selling H&V and he always stops for a short chat. This outburst is totally out of character. He is a 'monster' Villa fan.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

He was very amusing on Saturday Live this week. He wouldn't be the only supporter who has had a dig at the team/management/chair, especially when it looked like we were losing Benteke.

[cdbearsfan]

I remember chatting to him after a game and him saying something along the lines of "they should never have forced O'Neill out". I'd forgotten all about it till reading this.

He's entitled to his opinion but I think he's wrong on this. It's hardly high treason though, I'm sure he wants Villa to do well just as much as any of us.

I have pleasant memories of asking him if he could play the World's tiniest violin to commemorate Small Heath going down after the last day win over Liverpool a couple of years back.

[Ron Manager]

If it's his opinion he's entitled to it. You get the feeling with Nige that his mood could probably swing fairly readily and he'd not be afraid to express his feeling at any given time. Lets face it though last season was 80% frustrating.
I can see why people miss the days when we'd buy players with reputations and largely we've spend most of our Premier League time in the top half. Gregory never finished out of the top 8, MON finished 6th three years running. BFR and BL both flirted with genuine success too, and we had a couple of cups to boot. Even as much as we moan about Herbert being a tight bastard he did allow a lot of managers here to almost completely rebuild squads and spend a fair wedge on players with reputations. Ron did it. Little spent a lot for the time, though not on players with massive reps intitially (and it would be doing that, which ended up being his undoing), Gregory had a lot of money to spend. Even DOL, as much as he complained had enough to bring in some well known players.

I would hope though that with a good upturn next season that Nige will become more enamored with what we're doing and how we're playing.

Very good post that Supertom.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

He has clearly had some sort of breakdown.
He needs our support and got into fanhab.

[danlanza]

He painted his Jag claret and blue, with a paint brush, before we beat Manure at Wembley.
Class bloke and as mad as a box of frogs, in a nice way.
