Statement this morning

[Dave Clark Five]

Breaking news from Villa Park!


..............after the break. Followed by longest run of adverts since Pearl and Deane. (not sure about the 'e' at the end).

[JJ-AV]

They're saying it's now. So should be within the next 15 minutes?

Live to the training ground, who's gonna deliver it?

[TheEgo]

Villa 'about' to issue statement regarding reasons for MON's departure. Going live to the training ground apparently....

[villajk]

Here it comes

[villajk]

no longer shared a common view as to how to move forward.

[JJ-AV]

Very none committal.

[Malandro]

worth waiting for

[Risso]

Well, that was dull.

"No longer shared the same views about how to take the club forward"

[TheEgo]

Priority is supporting Kev Mac and sorting out Milner situation, whilst appointing a new manager

[Toronto Villa]

I think the media are still just tying it transfers. It's not. It's partly transfers, but it's the simple fact that we spent a lot of money on players that didn't contribute. I don't Randy is naive and is insisting on a smaller squad. What he'll have asked MON is why have you shelled out x million in transfers and wages on these players if you're never going to play them?

[deero83]

Can't get sound on my laptop at work - is that all they've said ("No longer shared the same views...."!!!!!!

[TheEgo]

Not going to comment further on differences with MON as it will distract from the other issues that need sorting. Diginifed and restrained by Lerner

[villajk]

ahahah

The reporter just said, when asked what about O'Neill's future, that O'Neill doesn't appear to have a Plan B.

Nothing new there then.

You cow Pauline, I was just about to post that!

[Summers]

Yawn. Sheds no light. Oh well. O'Neill is in the past, time to move forward. New manager, new players, new season.
