Did you turn on Randy like a den of vipers?

[villa1]

There is a snake called 'Malcolm's tree viper': co-incidendence? I don't think so.

in Germany they have vindscreen vipers.

so has Randy done more for villa in 4 years than 'most' have in 40 years?

[villa `cross the mersey]

Perhaps Randy asked MON to leave beceause he wasn`t a very good.....Adder

I don't understand who he means by that. Is he talking about chairmen, managers or fans during the last 40 years? I mean when he starts putting trophies in the cabinet he can start boasting, but until then what he's done so far is hardly worth shouting about.

Remind me again when Randy turned from being the best owner in the country to this parsimonious, bumbling, neo-Ellis figure because I certainly can't work it out.

[hawkeye]

He didnt Dave, he is in charge of the club and the summer has been wasted putting us in the situation we are now, I blame MOn more than i do Randy for what happened but it is pretty difficult to be an absentee landlord and i think losing the manager 5 days before the start of the season proves this. His fault was investing trust in someone who didnt deserve that trust. Some of the criticism of him is completely unjustified and i am still glad that he is our Chairmen and owner.

Dare I say the day martin O'Neill ran out on us.

There I said it

That's the frankly cringemaking thing.

It's amazing and embarassing in equal measures.

I put it down to the school holidays.

The 40 years reference could be seen as a reference to someone else who was involved with the club for very nearly 40 years.

Or it could be him just getting pissed off that Randy is copping so much flak, having done so much in the last four years.

Incidentally, were you saying the same thing about "talk to me when there's silverware in the cupboard" about MON when he was still here?

*wink*

Have you tried hormone treatment? :smile wink thingy:

Houllier wasn't the first name that sprang to mind when MON walked out on us, but the more i think about it, the more it makes sense.

Agreed Hartman, for some reason I am sitting here thinking: "Actually, he's experienced, he's good at nurturing youth talent, he plays counter attack, and had teams with pace, and he's willing to take a punt on a risky player and if it doesn't work he'll admit it, and sell them on, rather than ignoring them... Houllier could work for us, even if for a year/two."

He's won the treble lets not forget! Was it him in charge against us in the league cup - the one where the game was delayed for what seemed like an eternity because villa decided not to send out tickets in the post?

I'm afraid all I recall of that is sitting at home, despite having a ticket, because I was ill, and thinking "thank f**k I'm not there."

Randy has put more money into the club than I have in 40 years but some of our players get paid more in a week or two, without even playing,  than we put in, in 40 years. Are they more valued than us? It isn't all about money.

[Bad English]

All I know is that that Den off Eastenders was a bit of a snake.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I've been waggling my trouser snake at the wife when I come out of the shower (whilst shouting WAH-HEY!) surely Randy can't object to that?
