The General C. Krulak Thread XV

General

I realise that there are some more important things happening at the club, but I thought you might appreciate a breather and have something a bit more mundane to answer!

I like the new website, but they insist on continuing with the stupid idea of not letting news stories be cut and paste in Internet Explorer.  You can get round by this using Firefox, but it's just inconvenient when you want to reproduce (and fully credit, naturally!) a story from the official site.  And of course, Firefox is for lentil-eating hippies and commies, so I wouldn't ordinarily be seen dead using it.

All the best!

Little trick for you, Risso - click the refresh button then quickly right click and highlight the story you want to copy and paste. Works every time.

Unfortunately (from his perspective), no. Much more mundane tasks ahead, but it is on TV here, so it should not be a problem for him to see it!

General I hope we're looking at some big names for the Villa job. The story that's just broke about Bob Bradley quitting the USA job has sent a shiver down my spine.
He's not the man for Villa!

[Moorski]

General I just hope the Club can get an inspired choice of Manager as there are a lot of depressed Villa fans atm, Can the club at least rule out some of the names being banded about?

I concur with Saunders. Please God, not Bradley.

Pelty here. As most, but not all, know, I am the General's son. He was at my house and did not realize that my PC was logged in under my name so he posted without logging me out. The post is from the General not from me... Sorry for the confusion. He has since caught a plane out of here so I would expect all to be back to normal next time he posts...

Parents eh?  My four year old daughter is more computer literate tham my mum.

I know that there are a few fans who are upset with me for some of my comments.  I regret if what I said has embarrassed anyone...fans or the Club.

Not at all Sir. You feel free to shoot from the hip.
I dont speak for everybody but I much prefer the candour. It's refreshing.

Hi General,

Please take note of this,  and PM me if required.

I hope i speak for all us villa fans.

I have been a season ticket holder for 13 years now and i heard this morning that there has been some strong betting on steve "wally with the brolly" mclaren.

I hope i speak for all us villa fans.

IF THAT BLOKE EVER BECOMES ASTON VILLA MANAGER I WILL NEVER SET FOOT IN VILLA PARK AGAIN !!!!

[Malandro]

General,

Will we be signing players without a manager? If so who chooses them, Randy, caretaker coach or Martin's old targets?

McClaren wouldnt exactly be my first choice, but I can think of less competent, less accomplished, less qualified managers who have filled the post before. They also succeeded in taking us places that admittedly we havent been during the last 13 years that you have had a season ticket .
I fully intend stepping inside Villa Park whoever the manager is.

PS. Why would the general reply to someone threatening to do an `O`Neill`, let alone send a PM ?

[Moorski]

I would rather Mclaren than some of the dross mentioned General

[Concrete John]

General,

With all the press coverage we're getting it's sometimes difficult to decode what is fact and what is a journalists reading of the situation.  We originally heard that the board wanted a manager in place by the Newcastle game, but later press stories suggested it may be longer with Kevin Mac having an slightly extended run.  Can you confirm what timetable the process of finding a new manager is working to?  I appreciate that this may be a bland "we won't rush finding the right man" sort of answer, but is their a target date in mind? 

[Dazvillain]

General, in  amongst all the manager discussion, you may have missed a couple of people asking what level the Season Ticket sales are at ?

Couple od newspaper reports suggested that we were 40% down on last year....that would be catastrophic surely....can you give us an update please ?
