big mac certainly took the pressure off finding a manager so quicky, with his gutsy and brave decisions today... means we can find the right man to take us forward..

very impressed with todays performance and our attacking attitude.. a stark contrast to trying to "protect" a slender lead of recent seasons...

seemed like there was a freedom and a smile in our play today...

Team played brilliant today General, I think we should keep Kev Mac in his true role that he has done brilliantly for 15 years, that would be a very difficult postion to fill & KD is the best man for that job.

General K, today was a day that comes along about once every couple of years watching Villa.  Hope you enjoyed it.   If the board can somehow make this a more regular thing then the people involved will become legends. 

Milner: it's a shame he feels like he's got to leave Villa to win things and earn more money.  He's a cracking player and it was really cool to see the reception he received. It  put to bed the bollocks I've read about us fans as being 'fickle'.  Just like any other fans we see those who are deserving of respect and those who aren't.  If we could keep him somehow then please do so. If not, so be it and good luck.

For the first time in ages, the Bright Future seems really exciting.

I think they played in their proper positions and I think they all contributed. 

We have a saying here General that goes along the lines of  "it's not f**cking rocket science is it?"

General, I watched the match yesterday expecting my blood to boil seeing Milner in a Villa top knowing he was off to Money City. But I love the fella. He proved today what a professional he is.

Do what you can to keep him. The Ay-Rabs at Man City will be into horse-racing this time next year and they'll be onto yet another set of owners, so tell them to sod off (at ANY price), hold onto James (give him Salifou's wages on top of what you've offered him already) and let's win the league.....three times in a row!

General

Having had time for the dust to settle,I would like to retract my scathing comments that were directed at the board.

I never dreamt that the previous manager could be so selfish without due cause-I now think otherwise.

This has nothing to do with yesterdays events although with the benefit of hindsight,it is clear that a whole dead weight has now been lifted from AVFC-Last weeks events could possibly be the best thing that could have happened for us this season.The team are clearly in safe hands with KM.

General a great performance pleasing to all. that highlighted how much the team depends on Milner now to control matters. It also highlighted that even without him an experienced top manager has a great base on which to work.
As nice and as easy and no doubt as frugal as appointing McDonald would be, it is not the appointment of a club with the stated ambitions we once had. i'm sure all the Board appreciate this.

General, an idiot who calls himself Oliver Holt, who also calls himself a journalist for The Mirror, which calls itself a newspaper, was very disrespectful to you this morning on Sky Sports Sunday Supplement, which calls itself a television programme.

Now, I'm not one to tell tales but if anything can be done to bring this gobshite to task I'd like to think I've done my bit. And if you need somebody to give him a sound thrashing, I'm your man. All I need is access to some fancy hot shot lawyers to get me off the hook.

Hello General. I have a simple but controversial request....Please do not give the Managers job to Kev Mac. My reason for this is as follows;

This guy has some very obvious coaching abilities. The players, kids and fans love what he's done for our club. He has developed our reserves and kids into some of the very best in the country. We cannot afford to lose this kind of employee from our club. Get a proven top class manager that Kev can work alongside. A managers job in the premier league usually lasts no longer than 5 years before he is sacked or resigns! (Apart from ned nose, Arse and Venga and 2 or 3 others). Keep Kev at the club and promote him to first team assistant or demand he has a high profile role alongside the incoming 'proven' boss.

I hope you understand my point, I'm just nervous that talented guys like Kev are hard to find and giving him the managers role may mean his shelf life at Villa is shortened.

On another note, as mentioned before the sunday supplement show this morning was a joke. I agree with the other comments - demand an apology and contact lawyers4u. They may be able to get you a couple of quid for falling off your chair for laughing at the twats in the studio who know FA about you and our great club.

Finally have a great week and we'll catch up soon in the Holte pub for a ginger ale and a bag of scratchings.

General, a very pleasing start to the season. Don't book an open-top bus yet but I hope you and everyone at the club is very satisfied by the result the team achieved for all the work they've been putting in this week and over the summer in general. Thumbs up.

it was disgraceful that those cretins were spouting such ill informed and agenda filled nonsense while actually getting paid to do so... i really do hope that randys legal team take a look at what was said, and bring the morons to task...

Interesting comments re: K-Mac. And something I'd not considered. Food for thought.
