The General C. Krulak Thread XV

[Risso]

Risso said the General is daft!!

"like" daft. It's different.

[sfx412]

General K keeps telling me not to take notice of and certainly not to believe whats said in the papers.

Sound advice

[BannedUserIAT]

In fairness Risso I think the General said some fans turned on Randy 'like' pit vipers, which isn't exactly the same as saying they are pit vipers.

Oh that's alright then. In that case, I think the General was like a bit daft for saying it.

There's a rather big difference, as well you know, between "Villa fans are all pit vipers" and "there are some Fans who have just turned on Randy like pit vipers"

PeterW was the General's very own pit viper for a long time. Certainly long before any of this latest stuff happened. Malcolm is a special brand of -wind-up viper. East19 never has anything good to say. This is nothing new.

The General hasn't stated anywhere that ALL Villa fans are pit vipers. Your mis-quoting of him of tabloid-esque.

[Dave Clark Five]

Whoever is saying Koeman...seriously?? Have you even looked at his management track record!?

Of course they haven't. It is just a foreign name so it must be good.

[Dave Clark Five]

Long term is 10 years or 50 years, not just this season or next.

Time to pack in now then.

[Dave Clark Five]

general just a quick note about steve staunton i have seen him blank people when asked for autographs by fans on many occasions and i know of him being rude and abusive to fans,this is not the type of person we want at the villa

Its a wonder we didn't get rid of O'Neill well before he threw the towel in on this criteria.

At last general it seems we have a new manager. Gerard houllier will be a steady hand on the tiller and I wish him well and all the best in his time at our club.

Let's hope we can all get behind him and give him our full support and move onwards and upwards , it will be a difficult season with no transfer window but I'm sure gerard will be impressed at the quality he finds here.

There you go troy - positive enough for you?

Thanks for all your efforts general and hopefully things will calm down a bit now!

[Rip Van We Go Again]

General.
Have you had a sneaky bet on Houllier to be next manager?

I know I would.

For those doubting the intentions, integrity etc of Mr Lerner et al ... thank goodness we are not Blackburn

Or Liverpool

As bad as it seems right now we are better placed than others - Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal have been ahead for a while, whilst Citeh and Spurs are the bright new kids on the block.

We should back the owner and trust him on the new appointment - on the other hand if its Curbishley .......

Hi General

Will AVFC be producing an app for Android phones?

[pauliewalnuts]

I've removed some pretty stupid posts from here.

The people involved know who they are and need to stop being quite so stupid, please.

Agreed with the above.

General,

If Houllier gets the job I will be happy because he is a very experienced manager and in light of the other candidates seems a wise choice.

General

We had a thread running here about the non league day on Saturday. Have you ever taken in the delights of some non league football in England?

Cheers

I think (if GH decides to join us) that the board should be congratulated .

Time will tell of course but his CV is impressive and to my mind it is a step up for us.  We -Aston Villa- have to be realistic about our attraction to managers/coaches with the track record we want. I mean Guus Hiddink would be fantastic but would he come to us?

Villa are not a Champions League Club, and if we are honest since the FA Cup win in 1920, excepting one FA Cup win and of course the Championship/Euro win we haven't done much in ninety years to claim that we are a special Club.  Not for some of the best coaches in the World.

Monsieur H is a very credible and impressive appointment for us. If he joins us he will have my support.
