The General C. Krulak Thread XV

[German James]

Thank you, General! Your passion for this great club is obvious.

General, (without naming names) are you even allowed to say or can you confirm that the list of managers includes some in existing jobs and if so have any of those been approached as yet?

[mozza]

Thanks General - I'm reassured things ARE happening behind the scenes and we have to
be patient and have trust in Randy and his team-

[andyre]

Thanks for that General,

I think the issue here is the mixed signals coming from within the camp, I know most is just rumour and conjecture, but after the bad old days of Deadly and co. a lot of the fans could see us spiralling to the old ways. Most are putting 2 and 2 together and getting nothing but minuses, me included. I am sure all on these boards agree how refreshing it is for someone such as yourself from within the club to come on here and try and put our minds at rest. Hopefully we will get some good news very soon, I definately think there needs a bit of "Hearts and Minds" activity to win everyone over again but I'm sure you already know that. Anyway good luck, we are all Villa till we die.

General Sir,

What a top reply. Nightmare situation, thanks for putting some of the doubters right.

Come on you Lions!

General,

Is there any chance that Randy could join these messageboards, not to answer questions, but to give his thoughts on the club and how the season is progressing. Perhaps one post a month during the season?

Nothing more,  but it would be interesting and maybe change the perception of him being aloof.

[TheTimVilla]

Thanks, General.

[dicedlam]

Thanks for the reassurance General.
Personaly, I dont think that it was needed. I honestly believe 100% that Randy will get the right manager for us.

General,

I just wanted to let you know how much YOU annoy me!!!

The sheer fact that you come on here spouting your common sense. After Thursday I want blood, shouting at the TV, whinging on this forum and promising myself that I will not watch Sundays game as I am fed up of what the team has put me through.

You come on post a reply that makes me calmer about what is happening. Now I am in trouble with the Mrs as I told her we would go out to the Trafford centre. Now I know I will be driving to VP to watch the game instead cheering on this team that is on a rollercoaster.

As a request could you stop posting rational, sensible and well though out comments please. Otherwise, I will be living alone in a one bedroom flat with newspapers for curtains, fast internet and a subscription for RedHot Dutch after the wife leaves me!

(actually that does not sound so bad...)

Very good post general ! I'm sure you realise football is an emotional game and maybe some of us may have gone overboard in our criticism after Thursdays shambolic display. I think once we have a new manager in place things will settle down much more.

I'm pleased you have told us more about the selection process and I hope in a weeks time we may have our man - please rest assured general we do appreciate your posts on here and I'm sure we all want a successful Aston villa- we are in it together even though we may have different views at times.

Aston villa are a great club general and your support is very much welcomed and appreciated!

[Risso]

Fair enough General.  A decent performance and result against Everton, and you'll have a nice quiet 2 week period to get things sorted.  A repeat of the last 2 games though and things will get a little bit tetchy!

Brilliant post!
My jaw dropped when I read the first paragraph LOL! But you're right. The general has a wonderful way of calming the vast majority of us on here. Talking sense and making us look at this from a business point of view too as well as from a fans perspective. From a business perspective staying as we are without a manager is just insane and pisses all the hard work of the last 4 years up the wall. Of course the board are working hard on a manager. It's just common sense!!!

Brilliant General K, from the heart and as expected.

Just make sure randy gets it right

[Dazvillain]

GK, nothing but the best response yet again. I don't know why we bother with all of the various threads on this site, we just need to communicate with you.
You simply do not have enough time to devote to your other ventures and keep Mrs K happy, you need to be an interactive answer system for us on here !
Thanks again
Daz

We all get frustrated due to massive slump of form and lack of new players and no manager.

We can't see what is happening inside Villa Park and Randy Lerner's life. We won't know how hard he is working or what he have done so far since Martin O'Neill walked out.

The internet and media make us want 24 hours minutes to minutes coverage of what is happening.

What ever happens it is vital to get the next appointment right.
