Not the best timing is this General?
And do you think we could take David Moyes from Everton?

There are worse than Curbs about (not that I want him at all). SGE anyone?!?!

General, do you think anyone internally has the skills to take us forward (we don't have an excellent youth set up for no reason - their coaching and man management skills must be ok)?

I'd agree with Jol though if we get the chance.

    General,

    please can the club guarantee that we won't go for a 'cheap' option when appointing a new manager? Ie not bloody Curbishley. Ta.

General.  It is urgent that Mr Lerner makes as full a statement as possible regarding the position on a new manager, our transfer strategy for the remaining 22 days of the transfer window, and his future involvement with the club.

General - good luck with everything that is about to unfold. I trust that you, along with the board will make the right choice to move this club forward. We've come a long way since Randy arrived, and MON was a major part of that. I will never dismiss his role in getting us to this point. But this will be Randy's first proper appointment and I hope the new manager and philosophy pushes us on again.

General,

Over the past few years,you have preached to us on here & on other boards how we must trust MON & back his judgement.

This will all come out in the wash but for now,you have a lot of anxious,worried Villa fans-Our transfer window is as good as ruined - Its like the Ellis era all over again.

People have the right to know-what is going on at our club?

How many more stars are we likely to loose this transfer window?

Will transfers be put on hold untill the new manager is in place or does Randy intend to do an Ellis special & make the decisions on who can go?

General, will the pies be warm on Saturday?

General, Dave is obviously slipping. Any chance of having a word to Kevin McDonald about the Birmingham Senior Cup? That O'Neill character  seemed to enjoy us missing out.

My choice is Martin Jol then Joachim Low for Aston Villa hot seat. Make sure we appoint someone who can make us play attractive passing football.

Wouldn't like to be Randy's shoes today.

How is he at the moment ?

General

What is going on? I won't claim to be his biggest fan but the timing is terrible. Is this to do with money and him being told he has none?

I sincerely hope not. I thought we were making strides forward. I will try and not to jump to any conclusions however I think we need a real statement soon

I'm disappointed, as we all are, primarily because the timing is lousy. I supported Martin and am shocked and gutted by this. But what is more galling is that four years ago, the optimism at the club suggested that the days of hiring and firing managers, having them walk out and being told the kitty is empty were over. And now it appears, despite Randy's wealth, that nothing at all has changed. I don't see how the club can have no money - surely when buying the club Randy knew what it would take to make Villa Champions League material and that it wouldn't happen overnight? I find it difficult to believe the money has run out already, so what the hell's going on? One side of the dispute isn't telling the whole truth and it's wrecked our club's summer and probably the new season too.
