David, it's not that we are fickle, we still just don't like you. Call me a sugarbag if you like but I know a crap, lazy manager when I see one!

We played some nice football in that 2003-04 season, and he got the best out of Angel. But I never really warmed to him, I don't know why. I don't hate the bloke, but he never seemed to get what Villa are about. He seemed to view us as a bang average club, which I found irritating.

Oh well, he's never going to be a manager of a top club again. Interesting read, though. Cheers, Matt C.

I think we went a long way to stuffing up his future prospects with the ''we're not fickle...." banner.  Chairmen notice that sort of thing.

Once he got overlooked a few times he was suddenly yesterday's man, see also Alan Curbishley.

Grade A tosser too.

Record-wise not the worst manager we've had. But you'd be hard pressed to find a more dislikeable one.

Couldn't be arsed with minor details like when we actually last won a trophy when he was getting his excuses in. Combined with the impression he was always doing us a favour just by being there. We've had far bigger, successful managers than him who never gave off that vibe.

Sounds like he has his dream job now. Talking to old Arsenal tosspots about how great he was.

I never liked him

But you can watch highlights from his first season on YouTube and I honestly think some of the footballl we played was first best since Brian little - better than mon's team just without the same cash to back it up on real quality

The only manager we've had whilst I've been a season ticket holder that I've genuinely disliked.

Was always banging on about Leeds. Wake up O'Leary, we're a lot bloody bigger than them!

Most Leedzzz fans can't stand him either.

I agree. The Leicester, Chelsea and Blues home matches, we played some excellent stuff.

It's no wonder he hasn't aged, he probably got a nice pay-off from us and christ knows what he was getting paid in Dubai.

Ten years on and this odious pug-nosed little piss-ant still makes my skin crawl.  Bloody Leeds-this, Arsenal-that.  We can't compete with the likes of Charlton!  Sod off.

The Villa ain't complicated, but this prick just did not get it.  You don't feel like that about Bruce, he seems to appreciate the stature of the club, even when we're halfway down the second division.

Forest v Newcastle  tonight. Forest are capable of a point if not all 3 fancy a draw in this one as Newcastle stutter. Makes villa match for the win tomorrow important.  A performance  like at Brighton would see all 3 points

Am I dreaming this  , but didn't he once say as our manager " We can't compete with the likes of Charlton ."

Even if he didn't , he is still a Gobshite.
