Surprised there's not been a thread started on this.
Anyone see it today. More uninformed drivel coming out of Mr.Holt's mouth. You'd think with his surname he might actually like the Villa, but every sentance he utters about us is an attack on the club and the Chairman, or praising MON.
There were 2 other guys on there, but Holt hogged the Villa chat. Claimed the purchase of Bent was"'an admission of defeat" by Randy. He also said that "Lerner and his henchmen" lies had been "blown wide open" in their statemens about salary to turnover ratio needing to be reduced because we have signed Bent and Ireland. Holt makes no allowance for the fact that we have got rid of Milner, Sidwell and Carew in the same time frame, with more likely to go this month.
Another journalist said that the £30million GH has spent (interesting that Bent is a £24m player now and not an £18m player) this transfer window is more than MON has spent in "a couple of seasons".
Generally they concluded that Lerner had got it all wrong, MON was totally justified in walking out and that we will survive this season because Lerner had learnt his lesson "the hard way"
Oliver Holt is supposed to be a well respected journalist, yet every time he talks about the Villa his views are biased (he is clearly one of MON's mouhpieces) ill informed, and his arguments are lacking in logic. If i did my job as badly as he did, I'd be out of work.
The guy is an odious smug little creep
