The General C. Krulak Thread XV

[aldridgeboy]

General thanks for your reply. It came from the heart and thats all we can ask for. Personally I am worried at the moment about whats going on but I would rather the club wait to get the right man than rush into getting the wrong man which would put us back years. With the squad we have KM could cope until Xmas if it came to it I m sure. I trust you and Randy 100% to do whats right whoever you choose. Whoever comes in I m sure people will get behind 100%. A lot of people did nt want John Gregory when he came in but I remember he got a lot of backing once in post.

I think that the big issue here is although Martin O'Neill moved us forward, we ultimately still didn't make progress in certain areas. To change some of those issues appears simplistic enough with the addition of 2/3 players. Of course, with the transfer deadline fast approaching and no manager in place this could be YET ANOTHER season of season Petrov run out of legs on 60 minutes and Heskey and Carew fighting it out to be the most ineffective striker ever.

I feel this will be a big test on the fans loyalty, as realistically it could well be another season of little change. I think it would be helpful if Randy was a little more vocal at present, because when he does speak - people listen. He also needs to in England for the foreseeable future to help move things along quickly in the transfer market if need be.

This is just another instalment of of the ups and down of Aston Villa.  We will survive this time as we have survives all other times.  We should trust in Randy as he has never done anything to give us any reason not to has he?

I think it would be nice/positive if you responded to those who praised/supported Randy's activities/initatives at the Villa and not just to  those who critizise this current administration.
I believe Randy is doing a great job, as indeed you are.

General Krulak here:

1.  Please know that I understand the frustration...and confess that I feel it too at times.  It is painful to wait...and painful to bear what has been placed on us.  I absolutely pass on EVERY comment made on H&V...positive and negative.  NO ONE has ever asked me to "tone down" a post and if they did, I would tell them to stuff it.  Randy wants to know what people think and Randy needs to know what people think.  I have NEVER seen him back away from a challenge and he won't now.  There is no question we need to make some decisions and I can tell you, we will.

2.  I absolutely recognize that there are a legion of fans who are supporting and have been supporting Randy and the Club.  It is GREATLY appreciated!!  Again, there is no attempt to portray the Fans in ANY light other than caring folk who want nothing more than the best for the Club.  Being frustrated and venting does not lessen the belief of the Fan or his/her concern for the Club.


3.  KM was a man in his comments....I have a great deal of respect for his stance.

General, I would simply like to echo the sentiments of those above and thank you for taking the time to post candidly. It genuinely helps sooth the apprehension I feel about the present season.

Heartfelt words general,but do you think it is now time to see if further investment in to club would be right thing to do as it seems we are at a level and if we want to be serious about champions league aspirations ,we will need to invest more.
maybe a dubai billionaire or chinese billionaire will take us to next level.
