First thought is to defend himself against accusations of over-spending. He really is thin-skinned.

He did come off as quite self-serving yes, but they did open the door for that.  Think he spoke a lot of common sense though, mostly about working with what we have, and just stringling together a few results, because I don't think we will do much business in January.

A striker to support Ayew is a must. Doing none or little business in January would be suicidal. People need to wake up - VILLA ARE 10 POINTS FROM SAFETY!!!

It won't be through choice though I just think in our position its going to be an up hill struggle to attract anyone of any note.  Charlie Austin would be ideal I think.

I thought MON was spot on there in his assessment of events.Interesting that the majority of Villa fans give MON pelters for his departure yet are now coming to realise that the Lerner they sided with is a million times less trustworthy. MON conceded some time ago that his resignation timing was awful and hasn't put forward his side of events often, if at all,so I don't blame him for hijacking this Sky question with a revisit of summer 2010.

Let the record show, whether it suits your argument or not, that under MON we were top 6 thrice and since his departure have stank out the Premiership like a rotting fish hidden in the mother-in'law's sitting room curtain rail (little tip for you there this Yuletide season).

And that's the thing, no matter your feelings on MON since his depature, fact is with our rapid decline history is in his favour not ours.

I don't think it's a case of siding with Lerner over the MON fall-out, most realise how naive our owner was/is. He was dumb, she was selfish

My issue with MON was the timing of his departure. If he had left at the end of the previous season most people would of held him in high esteem and wished him good luck. Whatever his disagreement with Lerner it's the fans that he let down by his walk out

O'Neil doesn't have a leg to stand on, as his refusal to say why he actually left shows.

'Those who stay write the history' did he say? Lerner kept pretty much schtum as I recall, whereas Martin's pals in the media like Olly Holt somehow seemed to know that none of it was his fault and weren't shy in saying so.

Wanker.

But maybe he can't say for legal reasons.  This is an old issue for me anyway, we just need to focus on the here and now.

History will show that after Villa he went to Sunderland followed the same transfer spending and left them in the shit just like us..

Imo with budget he had here 6th was a bare minimum requirement and that's all he achieved ,any other half decent manger would have managed the same.

Ironically structure being put in place now is exactly what was missing when MON walked out since there was no continuity in place.

MON is correct that we made money on Milner, Young and Downing. There are very few others where you could argue value for money was delivered.

For every Milner/Young/Downing there are 3/4 Davies/NRC/Beye/Heskey.

I've spent most of the post MON era thinking he was the villain of the piece. But every year of relentless, consistent Lerner fuck uppery shifts my thinking a bit more.
