General I wouldn't dream of telling you how to run a business or for that matter telling GH how to choose his coaching staff. I simply wish to use this forum to bring to your attention that, in my opinion, both Mr Southgate and Mr Staunton have treated Aston Villa Football Club without the respect that it deserves and would therefore be left with little alternative than to request a refund on my families season tickets should either gentleman be invited to return to my football club. This the club that they have both expressed previously to not be good enough for them.Wishing GH the very best of luck; I commend you on a very brave appointment.Eddie.

We'd be furious if we thought the board was trying to select new players or the team for a saturday. The same should go for the managers back up staff.Furthermore, there are lots of views about Staunton & Southgate and not all are in line with yours. Some of us (maybe with a bit more perspective) realise that both gave us excellent service over a number of years. Neither did a 'Steve Hodge' on us.
Questions only, please.Can we try a bit harder not to let it descend into anarchy again?Much appreciated

Staunton and Southgate both considered themselves to be 'above' the club, and could not possibly expect support from the section of our match going followers that includes myself.
