There were certainly some holes in Gary M's cover-up strategy at times. But he gave a good account of himself overall and fair play to him for taking on a difficult interview.  I thought Pat Murphy's approach was excellent - he certainly teased some admissions out of our assistant manager without being overly aggressive or intrusive.

However, the most pertinent comment came afterwards when the panel said that they're reminded of Newcastle a couple of years back. Quite - that's a comparison I've had in my head since the Wolves game.

[Greg N'Ash]

There's no doubt some of them cannot stand GH or GM and they must know that or at least sense it, but fair play to him for fronting up

[darren woolley]

Good of him to come out and talk about what's going on.

Sounds like the death throws of a failed system if you ask me

They both have realised that they are dead men walking in terms of thier Villa futures.

Are you alluding to the dreaded vote of confidence?

Ok lets play Devils advocate here, someone comes into your place of work tomorrow and totally changes your role inwhich you have been doing well at and enjoy, is it unprofessional to question it or to be upset ? no thats human nature, they are not prima donas just pissed off i suspect, its poor management i'm afraid

Houllier and Mcallister are having to manage a MUTINY here, & in that respect I feel for them
Its UNPROFESSIONAL, Its not right, It stinks of modern day prima dona **** & i want it gone from  my club
We'll see this through, together as fans

Poor analogy. Mainly because the players are on crazy wages. I wish the analogies with normal jobs would stop, footballers have a charmed life, its fuck all like what anyone else does for a living.

You know the mere fact that we are being talked about in the media in relation to "Player mutiny" makes me sick to my stomach.

It seems the camp is split into 3 ways

1/ The players who did not have any sway with MON - who are playing better this year (NRC / Bannan / Albrighton / Clark)

2/ The MON inner circle players who did what they wanted to do as long as they performed to his masters voice (Petrov / carew / Dunne / Collins / Warnock /

3/ The generally good players and newbies that their form has been effected by number 2 above (Gabby / Young / Downing)

Either way i hope GH stays and proves a lot of people wrong as i feel long term he has some great ideas - i just hope we can clear some of the shit out and we stay up

There's a big difference between us and Newcastle from a couple of years back, that being that we are much more secure at boardroom level.  We have a person who cares about the club and has a fair bit of integrity about him as a chairman whereas Newcastle had Mike Ashley and his circus.  I think/hope to God that the strength we have in the boardroom makes us a far greater proposition than Newcastle were.  Hopefully strong leadership will see us through and get us back up where we belong.

I agree with all of that Hookey.

thats my reading of it. From what i've heard the new guys haven't exactly be welcomed with open arms by some of MON's pets

[WikiVilla]

Mmm not so sure, eg. I was very surprises to hear Petrov was shedding no tears when MON walked. General consensus was we needed a change

I love colourful throws; they can make an old settee look wonderful and breathe life back into a tired looking lounge.
Don't get me started on soft furnishings, purleease...
