The Martin O'Neill thread (with added sacking #2188)

[pauliewalnuts]

Thanks for the decent finishes.

Thanks for the season and a half of decent football.

No thanks for two years of mindnumbing cack at home.

No thanks for shopping exclusively in the overpriced home market then having the nerve to moan about money.

And no thanks at all for the spiteful way you fucked us up this week. Still, can't have your copy book blemished by having to use your noggin rather than spend your way out of a tight spot, so bollocks to us and off you go.

Let's stop the sanctimony and nit picking over my turn of phrase.

Ok, proud I have always been so don't question that (even through inference).

But let's not forget just how shit and low we were after Pug Nose Twunt departed.  Plus we were (up until a season and a
half ago) a good team to watch again.

He was ambitious, Young Doug isn't as ambitious, so he walked.  Poor timing I will concede that.

For the record I'll remember some great games under O'Neill, and of course 4 derby victories over Small Heath. But I'll never forget how he fucked us over and walked out 5 days before the start of the season, which is possibly the most disgusting thing any Villa employee has ever done to our great club.

Sorry, but after reading that from someone with your name I have to smile.

Well I forgive the great man because unlike O'Neill he won us a trophy or two!

Without a doubt, but THAT's dumping on your club.

I think you'll see a lot more than just nit-picking over that comment and rightly so.

Got to agree with most of that to be honest, although I'd add thanks for the win at Old Trafford.

That would be the 'Young Doug' who has put £180 million into the club and genuinely given us four years of pride has it?

True!

Yeah thanks Martin, thanks for leaving us with Heskey.

Yeah 'Young Doug' is a ridiculous comment.

I didn't say don't nit pick this comment.  Or am I being nit picky.

Young Doug? Christ.

How much did Doug (or his backers) put into the club in his first few years.  This is a genuine question as I do not know the answer and of course the sums would have been relative to the day.

The square root of fuck all, I believe is the phrase.

Nothing at all?  Is that correct?  Or a best guess?

Tommy Gemmell says Villa offered £5m for McGeady.
If that is Lerner's limit then where can Premier League players from? USA? Perhaps? 
Selling the brand abroad is where the money comes from now.
Fallow couple of years ahead methinks..barring a miracle.
