This makes less sense than anything I've heard for a long time.

Money to spend - doesn't look like it.
Autonomy - I doubt it with that lot.
His brand of football - definitely not.

Most of all, he's lining up to take a job before the current incumbent is sacked. That's not on and will lose him a lot of respect.

It's a strange one.

Empathy with a general dislike for the Villa hierarchy. Will be seen as the saviour again if he keeps them up.

David "Pigs in mud" Gold and O'Neill can have a right good bitch about a certain General Charles Krulak as well.

Before today I really wanted West Ham to get relegated. Now I desperately want them to get relegated. The big question is, who do I want to win the League Cup semi now? Tough call.



How ridiculous.

Not really. Even if you take MON out of the equation, it makes sense for Villa fans to hope West Ham get relegated, as it is one of the relegation places taken.



I think Clampy was referring to the Cup. I think most Villa fans would prefer West Ham to be relegated than us.

I wonder about some of them, to be honest.

I had been reasonably confident that West Ham would fill one of the 3 relegation spots. I'm now reasonably confident they won't fill one of the 3 relegation spots. I was already worried about relegation for us, this makes our prospects bleaker.

How sweet would it be when we stuff them at their place - O'Neill shaking Houllier's hand with a shit-eating grin.

Doesn't fill me with confidence. A couple of years ago most on here thought they'd be in the top four for the next hundred years.

it's what I was thinking. It's almost exactly the opposite model to which he had with this, it's not at like him to do the last thing either. Why wouldn't he just sit out the season. I'm sure there will be some decent jobs in the summer. And surely, there are better employers to pin your flag to than Brady, Gold and Sullivan however much you might miss the game. Bizarre.

Yes, i was referring to the Cup. I find it odd and a little sad that a Villa fan can hate a previous manager of ours so much that they'd even contemplate wanting Blues to get to Wembley over him. I'd even want DOL to beat Blues if he was West Ham manager.

I don't hate O'Neill.

I resent him for the way he shat on my club, though, and I wish him ill in his future endeavours.

Me too. Don't know for sure what went on, but I'd have a lot more respect remaning for him if he'd have gone in May. Still think he's a good manager though, obv.
