Lilly gives advice to MON - I agree !
« on: August 01, 2010, 10:25:11 AM »
"It's not been a great summer so far for another of my old managers Martin O’Neill.

He had a great season last season with Aston Villa and in my opinion, they should have beaten Man United in the Carling Cup Final and who knows what would have happened if they had been given that penalty in the FA Cup semi against Chelsea?

Martin must have been hoping to build on that success this summer and instead he’s not signed anyone.

I’ve read the stories that Martin is unhappy with what’s going on and could quit.

Knowing him as I do, he is very much his own man. He won’t stand for anybody going over his head or interfering.

One thing he isn’t, though is a quitter.

He will want to see the job through at Villa, even if it seems tough at the minute with his rivals eyeing up his best players.

If I were him, I’d want to keep Milner. Although I think £24million is a lot for a player like James Milner, his value to Villa is greater than his value to CityI think he should be looking to try and sign Craig Bellamy. Spurs want him and I think he would be great for Villa if City don’t want him.

I don’t know what money Martin’s got at Villa, but Bellamy is the sort of player who could help turn things round again.


Whatever happens, Martin has proved he can deliver success and I wouldn’t bet against Villa having another good season."

Savage, Robbie. aka Gobby Cabbage.

He likes MO'N and (I think) is not a great fan of Mancini given his brief spell at Leicester at the end of his playing career.

Did anyone see yesterday's Mirror which had a huge 2 page spread interview with Savage? There he was sitting in his vulgar living room overlooked by a massive picture of himself looking mean moody above his sofa.
The man has as much taste as he has talent. Zero.

there was a picture of him and his wife in one of them. He's basically married a lookalike of himself without the stubble but with breasts.

Yep, me too, or at least as a pundit as I don't know him personally. How many times now have we done the 'do/don't like Savage' debate?!!!

Me too, and we could have done with him as a player in his day, he would have done well at the Villa at the time. Also think he is an excellent pundit.
