The General C. Krulak Thread XV

[Lowendbehold]

General,

No disrespect to your countryman but; will you please tell Randy that if he appoints Bob Bradley, the USA coach at the World Cup, who is currently the bookies favorite and the Sun's prediction, that the stands at Villa will become deserted and we will be relegated.

[Arsey]

General Krulak here:

3.  These are always difficult days for our Club.  Randy is in the UK specifically to be with the Villa at this time.

I take it the news today wasn't all that shocking

[Villafirst]

Sky Sports News suggesting that MON has gone because Randy won't let him spend any of the money we're getting from Milner on new players. If that's true then I'm very upset with Randy Lerner.

I'm upset with Lerner for not backing his Manager. People on here scoffed when I said Lerner will sell up sooner or later. He won't put any more money in, that's crystal clear.....Bright Future? What a joke - clear off back to the USA!

No shit Sherlock?

We have the same old children with the same old pathetic attempts at humour on this thread don't we?The "will the pies be hot"/"can we enter the Birmingham Cup" brigade.

Well, if you knew he was joking, why get so het up about it?

Not sure why you are so interested in what I get het up about but here goes:

If we are at such a crisis point with funds for players,a new stand should not enter the equasion-it's hardly going to help balance the books is it?

You can't plead poverty on one hand & then sell your best players to finance a new stand on the other-This was not mentioned in the "5 year plan"

This scenario has been brewing all Summer-I don't feel any other emotion other than anger that the people running our club have allowed this to drift untill 5 days before the season kicks off-unless something drastic is done,our attendances will drop at a rapid rate so any talk of a new stand would just be silly.

As I said-I don't feel like playing along with the childishness that the Dave Coopers of this world seem to think passes as humour.

There has been so weird quotes knocking around this evening, and the above is probably the worst I've seen. What's good old Doug doing with his £25M these days?

Shut up you moron.

It wasn't a sacking MON resigned.  If he is upset because of a change in policy on transfers, he should have left at the end of last season, not the beginning of this.  He has rsigned now to cause the maximum damage to the club and to us the fans.

Who will the next manager be?

Completely unacceptable. Shocking. General I hope you realise that this individual does not represent many Villa fans.

[Fergal]

General, who will be advising Randy on the appointment of a new manager?

[Irreverent ad]

Hi General,

Has the need for Villa to become more self sufficient become more urgent due to the fact it is an uncapped year for the Browns in the NFL and the CBA has not been sorted?

Many Thanks

[Kevin Dawson]

Can I just say that I'm sad that he's gone.
I understand why some people think that it's a bad bit of timing.
I understand that some people think that he had no plan B.
I understand why some people think he should have gone 12 months ago.

However, thanks Martin.
For 1-0 at Mould Trafford,
For 5-1 against the Blose (and several other wins),
For 3-2 at Everton,
For 2-0 at Arsenal,
For 3-1 at Anfield,
For two trips to Wembley,
For that moment when you walked into Villa Park and the first home game against Reading....
And thanks for getting us THIS far.........I hope that your successor can take the next step....

[levico]

The silence is deafening.

I think the US military term is SNAFU.

Ya, thanks for all those results Martin. And now for the next step.

Outrageous and unacceptable. We're all concerned about whats happened - and what will happen next - but there's no need for that.
