Like Gregory and O'Dreary before him, he won't get a bigger job again and he'll have plenty of regrets once he's finished managing.

O'Neils image is tarnished, maybe not in the media, but in football circles he will no longer be seen as the messiah. Grieves me that the club had to pay anything to the fucker. Wouldn't be surprised to see him roll up at QPR.

Aye, QPR might be a good shout. If Colin Wanker has a bad run in the lead up to Christmas.

Rumours going around that McLeish is to quit the Sty. MON and the Rags are made for each other.

I wouldn't go that far, or anywhere near. At the time he was the perfect appointment, but his limitations were found out.

I remember discussing with you that there wasn't a chance MON would consider joining us Dave. I wish i'd been right.

He would never have considered joining us. Until it became apparent to everyone that we would have shitloads of money as Randy Lerner was on the way. He buggered off as soon as it became apparent that Villa Park wasn't built on a bottomless pit of cash and he would have to start getting involved with boring things like 'scouting' and 'coaching'.

With the exception of Graham Taylors misguided England appointment, like every single ex Villa manager in the last 41 years. They never get a bigger job.

I remarked on this in my first fanzine article of the season, if I remember correctly. I honestly believe that some of our fans just don't get how big a job the Villa managers one is.

That would certainly make for an interesting return on SHA's next visit to the Premier.

I suspect it's true that the promise of Doug selling the club and him having enough investment to compete at the top of the PL was the big attraction. I don't think he would have thought for one minute that the investment in the squad was going to be withheld at the point we were competing for CL qualification and trophies with teams that have invested AT LEAST double the amount of money in their squads. Then again, neither did I.

So you expected to see Villa bankrupt themselves trying to spend as much as Man City? I'm glad you're not Chairman.

He seems to think there should be a bottomless pit of money. As did Martin.

In fact, come to think of it ..... surely not?

If Randy Lerner (personal fortune $1.5bn, family trust $5bn according to Forbes 2010) can't afford it that's fair enough. The owners of those other clubs clearly can.

In that case. what he should do is try to set supporters expectations accordingly. I believed them when they said they were going to invest enough to make us competitive in the PL and Europe
