Or he was perfectly happy at Wigan at the time and didn't want to leave. He loves Wigan
The rot set in when I started my current job in April 2010. The first game we played after that was the 3-0 Semi Final defeat to Chelsea and things have deteriorated ever since. So if anybody fancies saving the Villa, then please feel free to offer me a job (though I'll clearly spend the majority of my time on the internet instead of doing any work).
I can't stand O' Neil as much as the next Villa fan but we can't blame him for the last 5 years. There's been to many different managers, a lot of money has been spent on lots of players, even a different owner to say it stems from him. Apart from McLeish, we have all been relatively happy with the appointments as they have happened, both manager and player wise but for whatever reason they have just not worked out.
It all goes in circles. I'm sixteen, and went to my first match in March 2007, after years of hearing my Dad's tales about Brian Little. My first season ticket came a year later. I grew up on the O'Neil side, and thought that was just pretty regular. My mates all supported Manure so if anything I was embarrassed we couldn't manage more than sixth. Perhaps me going to secondary school (2011) caused the change?! Ah well, thankfully I'm leaving in June so we might start winning again soon!

He loves Wigan Surely you can apply the same to Eddie Howe then even more? He is Mr Bournemouth given his playing career and been their manager now for about 8 years bar a little gap year in Burnley...

Its one thing to start supporting the club when times were good (like I did and most folks here) its another to start and keep at it when it has been one disaster after another year on year.
