When a club is in a mess it needs strong leadership. That's the root of our problem. It's not wrong for local journalists to dig for answers and keep on digging. In fact, that's exactly what they're supposed to do.

Why is a good relationship wih a parachocial outfit like WM necessary? Especially when you consider the utter contempt they hold us in and we as supporters, likewise feel about their output?Maybe "Reego" might not get an absolute bollocking off our press officer if he next time doesn't spin a lie?Lambert wanted to win the game yesterday and picked a strong enough side to do so. If I were the Villa's press officer, I wouldn't renew WM's contract to cover our games and I would deny them any access to BMH and Villa Park. They don't like the Villa, so they can whistle.

However, a week before the Albion game when we were level on points, you get the head of their sports dept asking ridiculous questions like 'how many villa players would get into the Albion side'. They're wasn't asking that last week when we were three points in front of them. They shouldn't have hidden agenda's just because they can't get interviews from our directors.
Why? They need Aston Villa, what on earth do we need that shower for?In any event, they won't exist in 10 years.

Also the same Mark Regan who re-tweeted what Rodney Marsh said about us the other day.
