Im sure there have been worse times in The history of Aston Villa,
Before I can remember in the 60's and stuff

But since I have been following Villa from the mid 70's, I can't think of a worse prolonged time of incompetence and general doom and gloom

Like others have said we desperately need a Saunders, Taylor even a Big Ron but we really do need something to change at the Villa for all our sakes

It worries me purely because we need to have a clear direction reguardless of who the manager is.  I don't think it affects what happens on the pitch too much, but for the club to move forward both on and off the pitch we need more of a long term plan.

john the mid 80's were really bad and had the internet existed back then would it have felt even worse. Let's face it having a place like this to collectively gripe in addition to the 24hr reminders via various forms of media make bad situations feel even worse.

True, but this is 4 years of prolonged shitness though,
with no end in sight at the moment
We did go down in the 80's but then had a ball in the second div, came straight back up and I can't remember the fog of doom lasting quite so long back then,
 but like you say I might have my rose tinted glasses on
