The General C. Krulak Thread XV

[jonzy85]

General,

Thank you for your responses here. It is well and truly beyond the call of duty.

I started a thread and some posters have suggested that I was showing a lack of respect to you and Randy.
That was not my intention and I apologise if you may have perceived it as so.

It is an incredibly frustrating time for Villa fans as we are in the dark as to what's going on re appointing a new manager and the possibilty of signing players before the window shuts.
I understand that this is unavoidable. The only way for you to go about your business effectively is to keep things out of the public domain.

So please understand that everyone is behind you, but until there is a new man in place and we can see what, if any, signings are made, there are going to be concerns. These are unchartered waters for the club in the Randy era and having blind faith is not everyones cup of tea.

Thanks

Hi General,

Apologies, I think my question got lost in the onslaught of comments!!!

I have heard KM state that things are very stretched coaching wise at the moment. Will we be looking at bringing in some temporary coaches to assist KM if no manager is appointed soon?

Many thanks

Adam

General, who's in charge of the reserves?

[peter w]

And who's doing Gordon Cowans's job?

To be honest Mark it wasn't an entirewly serious question just thought it would lighten the 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh' mood regarding mangaers and the like.

General Krulak here:

1.  Do I think that we need to continue to invest in the Club?  Absolutely!  There is no question that, like most Clubs, we have some areas where we could use help.  Anyone who watches us play can come to that very same conclusion.  That is NOT a slam against our players!!  Gabby, Collins and Cuellar will all be back this week...players who can make a difference right now.  Is there that "special someone" out there who can make the "final" difference...I don't know but I am sure that we have people looking at that.  The question is about availability and total cost.  I am NOT in the transfer business so I am NOT able to answer those two questions...and neither are most who post on this thread.  What I try very hard to do is answer those questions that I can answer, pass on to Randy those issues that are of great concern to the Fans, and try to make sense of difficult situations.  Sometimes I succeed...and sometimes I fail.  I recognize that. 

2.  I will be off the site until Friday.  I am going to a Board Meeting in Houston (not AVFC) and will not be able to be on site.  I am not a coward...and I am not skipping out.

3.  We ALL recognize that life is tough right now.  NO ONE is sitting on their hands.

Sir, you are certainly no coward.

General. Can you tell Houston we have a problem?

[peter w]

What you doing for Eid, General?

[ajmant]

Top post Mazrim. Top post.

Brilliant Mazrim. That's probably the first time I've laughed since before Sunday.

General-As a regular reader of this thread (not a contributor admittedly) I feel I have an idea of where you are comming from.Whilst I usually agree with your comments,I think you are way off the mark if you think you have the same feelings for AVFC as some of the fans on here.

As I see it,your support is for Randy-If he were to leave tomorrow,would you still be following Villa & their results in two years time?For most of us,Villa are for life-We have a saying over here:"You can change your car,you can change your wife but you can never change your football team"Nobody expects you to be dancing from the rooftops after Sunday but the hurt,anguish,frustration & uncertainty that the fans over here are feeling is 24/7 in a lot of cases.

To compare every situation in life to the American Marines is very short sighted & the contex you used in the "new recruit/football fan" scenario is completely unrealistic.
