The General C. Krulak Thread XIV

[Toronto Villa]

Generaal Krulak here:



4.  Isn't it just possible that he is 1) developing our young lads, 2) bringing our reserves along well and 3) running the first team pretty successfully!  Let's finish the next two games...be supportive and give the man a couple of weeks without busting on him.

I know this is questions only for the General but those are thoughts exactly and i just hope that Randy, MON and the General realise that it is only a very small minority of the fans that aren't behind him

1 I think that has more to do with our excellent youth set up and coaches to be honest, perhaps you do them a disservice.
2. Really how many have featured regularly in the PL this season, or even looked to be able to in the near future.
3. Is that why we won  so few games from Xmas until the easy teams like Portsmouth came along away from home ?

3 wins instead of 3 draws would have seen us on 70 points.

Time people learned having an opinion that isn't in total praise of a manager and player does not mean they don't get 110% support. If he is so sensitive to criticism, especially on sites such as this, then Heaven help us when matters really do go pear shaped.

Even if we lose both of the remaining games, its been a decent season, but it wouldn't have taken much to have been even better.

regards, the small minority

unbelievable. You can't let it go can you?

The majority.

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

4.  As I look at our Club this season...

You could well be right General. But this will be the first season in 50 years that I have not set foot inside Villa Park. More than anything, it was the quality of football on offer that made me reluctant to renew last May.

Which would you rather have - my arse on a plate in a debate, or my money?

If ever there was a post on your thread General worth investigating further, it is this. Whether you choose to wait until the end of the season or do it via PM, I leave in your capable and trusted hands. For all the focus groups, dialogue with the fans through the forums etc, it is in my humble opinion, the views of life long, dedicated fans like Steve that should not be over looked. He's not alone, my father is of the same opinion. Steve is extremely modest when describing his support of our Club, as I'm sure you'll find out.

There are so many positives to be celebrated since Randy took over and your contribution can not be ignored, it's been massive. Long may it continue. We couldn't have wished for better owners.

[OldUser]

Steve, massive respect for you, but are you really saying that in 50 years this is the worst football you've seen? Come on, that's nowhere near true.

Are you really saying this is the worse football you have seen in 50 years? I thank God every day I no longer live in Birmingham and retain at least a modicum of joy and optimism in my life.

As this is supposed to be questions to the General can I please ask how he is viewing our election process as an outsider and how it is being reported in the US.

I think there is far more to this than you're letting on.   The football we have seen last season and this is not that bad.  More often than not it's been good with the likes of Milner, Young, Gabby, Dunne performing at their best.  You should have just said you are bored with it all and that I think would have been nearer the truth.

General Have you tasted a SUNDAY roast in the  holte hotel?
Top notch ...
Are you pro or anti  yorkshire puddings ?


Well it is as we keep being reminded...
 QUESTIONS TO THE GENERAL....

I'd be inclined to take his explanation of why he doesn't bother going any more over anyone else's, to be honest.

Perhaps we could do that, and let the General get back to him, though.

[Steve R]

Mark - Thank you for your words.

Ian, Montague, Bren - this is a questions/comments for the general thread and does not need yet another side debate. I deliberately kept my earlier post short rather than go into the whys and wherefores.

It may be a very personal take on things, but it is still the point of view that I have. Yes, it is the quality of the football that was uppermost in my mind.

No, it is not the worst football I have seen - that's a toss up between what was served up circa 66/67 and the dross offered by McNeill's team roughly 20 years later.

I would echo Mark's coments regarding the stewardship of the club. The best we have had by a distance in my time, and the one big advantage we have over our rivals today.

It really is down to the quality of the football.

Montague - It's ok, you are safe enough in Birmingham, I moved away in 1970.

Evening General Sir

Another season draws to a close.  We've come to within 140 mins of champions league football and kept our season going almost to the last game, had a couple of good days out where, with competent refereeing, things could have ended in Glory.

I personally am pleased with the season, BUT sadly not with the "same old same old" in relation to formation/personnel being turned out game in/game out.

My questions are:
1.  Is the board happy with progress this year?
2.  Will we take the Europa league seriously this time or should I keep my cash in my pocket rather than waste it travelling to watch meek surrender, (as the Jam once said...)???

Like I say, despite the disappointment of today I really am proud to be AVFC, and for that I thank Randy, yourself and the board.

[eastie]

Mon has said he will blood the youngsters in the Europa league general, please can you tell us how fulham manage to compete in this this and reach the final and yet we have to approach it playing youngsters.

Surely we should be trying to win everything we enter and a run in Europe would be great for the clubs profile?

Please general could you let us know if we intend competing to win the Europa league or will use it to give youngsters experience?
