0% Villa: Benitez sacked (Confirmed p.6)

[old man villa fan]

For clarity, and this is my last attempt, but this is what I'm saying...

I disagree with them.

I do however think they believe what they're saying, and they're not just saying it for effect.

For example, I'm not disagreeing with them because they're being arsey, or because I think they're doing it for the sake of it, I believe they genuinely believe what they're saying (which is what the original point was), I just believe they're misguided (ie wrong, but with honourable intentions).

I really don't see what is so condescending about that (certainly not when compared to the original post which suggested that the people who moan about MON now will just moan about the opposite if we replace him).

And the whole "most condescending thing ever" point is somewhat lost in any case, given that - as I pointed out - I wasn't actually referring to those who think MON has done a reasonable job.

To bring this to an end with my final comments.

It is unwise to generalise as you end up with two perceived sides - the pro MON and the anti MON, rather than debating each issue on it's own merit.  Things are never black or white.

Our manager is not perfect by a long stretch but neither is he as bad as some posters make out in the ridicule and scorn written in their comments.

Let's just all hope that it's the Managerial Selection Team at Liverpool is the same quality as the Public Relations Team.

To watch these pompous pricks drown in the sea of their own debt whilst the team struggles on the pitch will be wonderful. Just wonderful.

MON still 9/4 for Liverpool but not getting much cash on it apparently.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Quite possibly, but I remember when you thought that the 'Big Four' would automatically qualify for the Champions League for the next gazillion years, while I was predicting that they wouldn't all qualify soon, and that a takeover for a debt-free big club like Man City was more attractive to the type of backers Liverpool so desperately need, and you thought I was a nutter.

I remember you saying that we were the club that would break the top 4, we were best placed due to MON and his backroom team.
You couldn't have been more wrong.

Liverpool will be taken over soon enough, don't worry.

Apparently Hodgson fancies the job. I have a feeling if he takes it, he'll surprise a few people, including the Scousers and still be there when they eventually get new owners.

if o neill does not want the l;iverpool job , he needs to issue a statement saying so otherwise this speculation will carry on and on all summer, i think if offered the liverpool job he would take it!

That's not the way Martin does things. He's not going anywhere, so why worry?

Cant Imagine Liverpool liking the idea of Robertson Walford etc and not their own back team.. And thats what MON would want.

I cant see it happening.

rumoured £5 million to spend.

The owners.

Managing these prima donas.

More pressure at 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' than Villa.

[Small Rodent]

More pressure at Liverpool than Villa.

But they are a huge club despite their failings. Could MON resist having someone as big on his CV (we could argue about Celtic being huge until the cows come home)?

And all that might - only might - be outweighed by the opportunity to show the world what a great manager he is.

O’Neill doesn’t have to go to Liverpool and be great to put us at a disadvantage.

[Greg N'Ash]

Depends how much MON wants it if he's offered it. Last chance of a real traditional big job i'd say now his standing has dropped. neither MON or Hodgson would be in the running if they were top4

I'm sorry, but exactly how has MON's standing dropped?  I think the fact he's favourite for a job like Liverpool would say that those outside of Villa percieve him to be doing a good job here!

[PaulTheVillan]

If MON wanted to go to Liverpool, I'd happily help him pack his bags.

He'll then sign a centre back who looked good in Scotland and play him Right Back.

No, he just has to stay here.
