I can't remember where i saw it but the most accurate criticism I've ever seen of Ellis was the difference in non-playing staff between us and the sky clubs, we were still largely run like a team where the fanbase lived within 10miles of the ground when the teams being run properly were selling merchandise all over the world and had huge staffing of vast commercial teams to hoover up as much money as possible.

There are so many things that could be said about that time, and so many people still think he's Mr Aston Villa, a man who loved the club and did so much for us.

it’s pretty amazing that this myth of this generous patriarchal figurehead still exists, even on here.
