The most enjoyment I've ever got out of The Villa were during Gregory's first 12 months or so in charge, top of the league, fun football, supporter engagement and there seemed a real connection and relationship with the players.
Best BFR worst Billy McNeil but there are a lot of the recent managers who run him close.

Just like the managers who followed McLeish inherited a mess. Personally, unlike a lot of people apart from the timing of their departure I don't think O'Neill or Houllier left us in a mess.

We'll never recover from the financial mess O'Neill tactically left us in.
