Before the General left he said we did not have a defensive coach.

West Ham got Wally Downes and have improved defensively, maybe we need a coach specifically for the defence.

[WikiVilla]

Paul McGrath ?

[Risso]

What's racial about it?  He looks look Inspector Clouseau.

[hawkeye]

I do think that criticising the number 2 or 3 defies logic, GH is in charge of the  team and backroom staff.

Yeah, I'm sure that's what he was referring to, his appearance. There has been a stream of "french prick", "clouseau" crap today, and there's no need for it. Or for "bald Scottish mute" either.

As for Clouseau, he could still learn to fucking spell it

So do I.

But criticising number 1 and number 2 but definitely not number 3 because you're sure he "has no input on training" is slightly hypocritical.

Ok chill a bit
i noticed a dumb and dumber pic the other day depicting GH/GM which seemed ok ?
What is the policy ? are we not to knock the management on here ?
I will abide by the rules if you let me know whats ok and what isnt

[Richard C]

I'm not ITK either. I just make it all up as I go along.

And you'll probably get there quicker too.

[Legion]

[WikiVilla]

i wonder what will happen if we get spanked 5 or 6-0 at chelsea, would randy then push the button?

Wouldn't bet against it, push the button that is..........or the 5 or 6 nought come to think of it.

I don;t necessarily disagree with you, but my point was that in that case you either also blame GM *and* GC or neither of them, unless you have a direct input to who does what and where the problem lies, which WikiVilla seemed to think he had earlier today, but now doesn't seem so sure.

It's dead easy to point at someone and say "it's his fault" when it's some surly bloke who never played for us and had a shit time at Coventry, he's an easy target.

It's not quite so easy and convenient when the person is a Villa legend, but the fact they are doesn't absolve them of any blame necessarily.

It didn't stop people criticising the input of Walford and Robertson under the previous incumbent.
