Quote from: LeeB on March 05, 2011, 07:27:47 PMI quite like the thought of having a manager who is willing to make decisions that will make him unpopular, if he feels it is the right decision for the club.Some have labelled him a coward for Wednesday, on the evidence seen so far I would say he is quite the opposite.he is completley mad, he is unpopular because he is making stupid decisions like Wednesday and after todays result he now looks a even bigger fool, Coward, Brave, i think he just doesn't know what he's doing, in a world of his own, shocking manager for us
I quite like the thought of having a manager who is willing to make decisions that will make him unpopular, if he feels it is the right decision for the club.Some have labelled him a coward for Wednesday, on the evidence seen so far I would say he is quite the opposite.

There was no sign today that it was the right decision anyhow.

One of the board's mistakes since they took over has been to be too close to supporters, particularly those who are online regularly. This has meant amongst other things that we somehow feel entitled to explanations and apologies every time something goes wrong or a decision is made that we don't agree with. It would be nice if every club was as customer-friendly as ours but they aren't, and this is why.

It would be nice if every club was as customer-friendly as ours but they aren't, and this is why.I agree entirely with that Dave, and very much appreciate the efforts the club make.But I do think it is important that the top people at the club get the message and understand how fans feel on such a major issue as the other night. I didn't realistically expect a club apology, but I raised this thread two days after the initial outcry to show that it is not a knee-jerk reaction and that there is genuine anger out there at what happened. It's not something to brush under the carpet in a feeble post-match interview.I said right at the start I'm not anti-Houlllier, and for me this has never been about sacking the manager or people resigning, but the most disappointing thing is nothing seems to have been learned from the Moscow experience.An injustice was done to Villa fans and the FA Cup the other night I just want to know that the people who run our club can see that and can understand the anger it has caused.
The Generals thread in particular got totally out of hand.
