First loyalty to MON, not the club.
There are one or two supporters that are very much the same.

So where are the supporters of Aston Villa who left after MON resigned? Or do we all have to follow you  in your Doh'Neill crusade?

Whilst I agree, it's not as if people have stopped supporting us, but there are plenty who have taken the side of the former manager against the club the last few weeks,.

Absolutely.
There are two non internet supporters in The North Stand near me who reckon that we
'Shat on O'Neill and it's all the boards fault'

Another one in the Bartons once said to me

'If O'Neill leaves, it would be the beginning of the end for the club.'

And there were plenty of people who took the side of say Big Ron against the club when he was sacked. What is this not allowed now in the Randy era?

Big Ron vs Ellis - No contest.

An honest board who have granted the manager and supporters virtually anything they've asked for vs An ego-maniac who's bizarre transfer dealings led him into having a hissy fit and walking out - No contest.

The fuckers, how dare anyone have a different opinion.

I think a few people have aired genuine concerns about the way the club have handled finding a replacement, the delays in GH taking up the post, the General's needless comments, our lack of spending, the kit cock up and the  Kevin MacDonald will he won't he affair and others have decided that means they've taken sides.

I'm still behind the board, think that they've done a good job to date and hope that they continue to do so. I'm behind the new manager and his team. My only concern with our ex-manager is when people try to rewrite history to suit themselves and pretend that they know exactly what happened to cause him to walk out.

Nobody is saying it isn't allowed. I was just pointing out that it has happened.

Although if we're comparing Randy to Doug we've got short memories.

I've often thought the same when making points against Mon. Did you think that then ?

I couldn't agree more.

MON is'nt the first manager to walk out on a football club and i'm pretty sure he won't be the last. We're in danger of making ourselves look silly if we keep harping on about it 7 weeks after it happened. We'll probably never know what happened until he writes his autobiography. Until then, can't we just get over it and support the new regime?

On topic, I really rated McAllister as a player and Sid is a legend - a true Villa legend.

Thus, I am looking forward to the 'new regime' with much positivity.

OK, these guys won't be pulling n the shirt, but they will be a massive influence on the way we play; the structure of the team going forward.

Vive le difference.

There's nothing wrong with discussing a previous manager.
We still sometimes discuss O'Leary even now.

You're coming across as a bit obessed if you don't mind me saying so Mark.

Anyway, O'Neill did a good job. O'Deary was a waste of space. I've moved on from both either way.
