O'Neill talks about Villa

[TheSandman]

Maybe he had a good reason for leaving?

We are all still in the dark about it.

[Bad English]

If there's one thing that really boils my piss it's the urban myth that O'Neill has a law degree.

Duverne fucked up the fitness of the players you know.

[WarszaVillan]

So actually he was attending an official event and was asked publicly about why he left Villa. He revealled little, did not slag the club off, although some on here want to say that he has deliberately surfaced during a difficult time for the club to seek publicity. Some people are so desperate to call MON names. We have no idea why he left but for some reason people have convinced themselves that he chose a moment to harm a club he'd spent four years building. Get a grip

I'd have him back tomorrow - and I'd bet he'd get a huge positive welcome at Villa Park. Won't happen though and nor should it onwards and upwards - or actually downwards and sideways for a while.

Thanks ILITA- looks like a parliamentary committee to me.

I don't get the criticism of MON over mentioning Milner. Seems to me that he did not want to sell him and he did not want Ireland. Seems fairly sensible to me. It should've been his decision. It wasn't, he left.

It's the only plausible and semi acceptable excuse. MON still caused most of the shite we're in.

I think the cause is mostly down to the manager who's only won 6 league games since he's been here, but each to their own i suppose.

[richardhubbard]

No slagging off the club or the fans yeah he a right ******. He wasted money and spent some well blah , blah.

He is my mind achieved most since BFR, what a ****** and then got pissed off for reasons we dont know and walked away, which as we all are entitled to do in a jobs that we can.

I know I left jobs at worst possible time for my employer and bet a few have on here done

He not the guy that won 6 games in 25 and got us to 14th.

That man definitely a ******

+1
For all the credit and blind faith the current manager gets and for his alleged "aura", I can't for a second understand how could he possibly end up with such poor results, so much PR cock ups, so much personal ego demonstrations and so many people turned against him. What really frightens me though is the belief that things will get rosier once he gets rid of 80% of the current squad in the summer, because apparently they are so stupid that they do not understand his genius ideas about playing the football the right way...

[ROBBO]

Some people have very short memories, have him back to get us out of trouble? this is the time of year we died in the arse under ONeill, post Cristmas we were always shit. Think hard about the players he ostracised, one in particular never got picked for months and now is a regular in midfield, he had as many fallings out with players as Houllier. Think about the huge wages he paid for wankers we can't get rid of and who never kicked a ball in anger. The wonderful revelation that our new spearhead to lead the revolution at Villa was going to be Marvellous Marlon Harewood. Giving the game away in Europe which i believe started the rot at Villa. He left because he could see the writing on the wall pure and simple and remember he was all set to ditch us to go to Liverpool.

[olaftab]

He left us ..remember. Let him go.

[The Left Side]

I think it is great that a parliamentary committee has been set up and is discussing the Villa, fair play to them!

[SteveD]

Wasn't the reason for his public appearance today the fact he'd been asked to give evidence to the House of Commons culture committee on its inquiry into football governance? Him and Coppell. To which, when asked by one MP, he pointedly refused to gives the reason why he left Villa. I don't necessarily buy the story he walked, or even if he did that he timed it to maximise damage to the club out of malice - complete nonsense. Unfortunately with Villa, gagging clauses seem to kick in and we rarely get the full picture when a manager goes. What I do know is all round he was a cut above who we have in charge now.

Yes. Link.

Yeah, but you know what these Parliamentary committees are like, they've been little more than MON mouthpieces for decades.

I still shudder at the treatment they dished out to Honest Robert Chase after that little bastard, who hasn't even got a Law degree by the way (Ged may be many things but at least his LLB's bought & paid for), did the dirty on him at Norwich in the 90s.

That Jeremy Corbyn's been making sly digs about Cuellar's injury record all season. And don't get me started on that c*** Michael Fabricant and his Historians FC schtick.

It's an anti-Villa conspiracy all right, make no mistake about that.
