Ash has got what 9 games tops with us left (assuming he doesn't get suspended / injured)How committed will he be between now and his big money move ??
Quote from: hawkeye on March 04, 2011, 02:25:10 AMThe people on here that are trying to justify our managers decision just dont get it, he killed a lot of supporters rationale for supporting the club, there is absoloutely no justification for Aston Villa to act in this cowardly and disrespectful way. You should read again what VCTM said, why on earth should any one comit to a club that is not commited to the majority of it supporters. Yesterday was one of the darkest days in our history and what is so sad about it was the fact that it was self inflicted.No, no over-reaction here either.

I really can’t see how MON surrendered every other cup, Dave. We got to the final of the League Cup and had a decent pop at Man U who, notwithstanding a ludicrous bottling decision by the ref, were just too good for us, especially once Wazza came on, and we were Chelsea’s equals too until that poor header by Dunne gave Drogba a goal. Chelsea fans I know told me they were really worried until that goal as our team and fans were growing in confidence – our 5-6 minute version of “My Old Man” had them pleading with each other to make some noise. We lost both games but we certainly didn’t surrender them. Europe was a different matter, mind. A day of venting our spleens is fine but now we need to focus on supporting the team tomorrow. I fear some venom if we go a goal down, though.

The reason that it was one of the darkest days in our history is that not did we only let our own supporters down, we let every neutral football supporter in the country down particularly those who can't afford Sky who want to watch a decent game on terrestrial TV. Beyond that we let down the FA, the sponsor,and ITV. In essence we let the entire game down and it was an absolute disgrace.
And we're the only club who ever put out a weakened side?

Very true, but we made a final and a semi last year. Achieving this once every 4 years (ie, MON's tenure) would be a good step towards a decent cup record for me.
