The General C. Krulak Thread XV

[ckrulak]

General Krulak here:

1.  I have heard all the comments re. the screen and have passed them up the line.  My sense is that it will not be coming back at this time based upon renovations to be forthcoming in the future.

2.  No, I do not think ManCity takes specific actions to disrupt our plans.

3.  ST sales are basically the same as last year at this date...maybe a hundred or so behind.  This is obviously not what we would like but we understand the economic climate and the unrest re. Manager.  At the end of the day, ST sales are important to the Club and we hope they pick up soon. 

4.  Randy was in Italy for a two day holiday with his kids....not seeking players or Managers.

5.  Randy is not picking players...that is the Manager's job.

I have only seen rumours at the moment but the squad looks like we are taking the mickey out of our opposition and the fans who have spent good money on getting over to Vienna. Why don't we just tell UEFA we don't want to participate in the Europe League?

I know he's gone Bob but MON also said he would play the kids, Its a shit competition anyway

What do you think of Oliver Holt?

And don't you think it's a bit sad a 44 year old man thinks he's Noel Gallagher?

Edit: Apart from Percy of course who I think is great.

We don't have a manger, so someone had to make the decision to accept a cash plus Ireland deal for Milner.  Was it MON before he left, or was it rubber-stamped by Kevin MacDonald?   If it's the latter then fair enough, but somewhat strange given that he might not be the manager if a suitable candidate is found.  If it's the former, then I'm not sure the club should be using the judgement of an ex-employee.

And not 44.

Isn't Noel Gallagher a sad 44 year old man?

General, I agree with this post.  We spend our hard earned money and have a right to see big european nights at Villa Park, particularly if we finish in the top six.  We should be taking the thing seriously.

General,are fans allowed to watch the reserve games at Bodymore Heath?  Cheers.

With so much crap posted on this thread and of course the recent upheaval it is clear that the General isn't answering all of the questions put to him.

Please could this not be more closely monitored by moderators?

Moderators - Feel free to delete this post for that very reason once noted.

Quite chilled about the managers situation then General ?
He stated that we would prob have 1 in place by Newcastle game...is he waiting to see how Kev Mac does away in Europe first ?
Have we got the Managers applicants down to a shortlist now ?

[dave.woodhall]

Could we please keep team discussions to the match thread.

Don't you trust the current manager? We all praised him on Saturday. Have you lost faith in him already?

[Toronto Villa]

General, from a marketing perspective, what are now the plans to expand the Villa name (brand) globally. Was MON's insistence on buying predominantly in the UK a hinderance to the board's plans to broaden the Villa name into new foreign markets?

General,

There have been various valuations of the Milner deal reported in the media.  Is it possible to disclose what payment we actually received for James Milner.
