That looks a decent summary although I'm far from convinced in Chester.The problem is that the signings that look dodgy are in areas where we were desperate to improve.That's why after spending £50m we still haven't got a half decent team.
"They've so overspent on players," Murphy said."Some of the money they have spent on average players is ridiculous, absolutely ludicrous."Sad to say but these are looking more and more accurate with each game ...
Since Houllier left up to the end of last season, how many players have improved at the Villa besides Delph and Benteke? We must be talking about 50 odd players in 5 years and I can think of 2 that improved. No matter how bad you think our transfer policy was in that time, it shows there has been something fundamentally wrong with the coaching for years regardless of who was manager.
And to someone who mentioned before about swapping Bayern, Barcelona or RM into our environs, I'd like to add that were they managed by Guardiola inhabited by the ghosts of Paisley, Shankley, Busby, Saunders et al, we'd still be shite. I don't know any more how it can be stopped.Human sacrifice is all I can think of.
