Fuck me, I don't need a fucking dissertation on fucking heart disease.

If his doctors say he can carry on, then whatever the interweb H&V experts say I assume he can carry on, they were the buggers who did the operation after all.

While our lenghty debate about GH's health is essentially irrelevant it does demonstrate how the current period of limbo leads to endless speculation and rumour-mongering. You can bet the players are doing the same. I know they don't care in the same way that we do but they will undoubtedly have an interest in who they are playing for/asking for a transfer request. In light of this I'm not sure why the delay till Wednesday. I'm hoping it is to do with contract clauses kicking in, notice periods or something and that the announcement on Wed 1 Jun will be au revoir Gerard and hello.... someone else.

I wouldn't be surprised at that, they've had long enough to work on it.

That's true but I'm assuming they expected that and were preparing for what needed to be done after it happened.

I'm sure they were, and they have. They've had to balance running the Villa with the need not to be seen to do anything unseemly. I would imagine that if there was the slightest suspicion Ged was being pushed out unwillingly because of illness, they would be wide open to all sorts of claims.

If there is a danger of that then I suppose they'll have to blame the God-awful job he's done. Not many would seriously question that as a reason.

9th place given O'Neill's walk out and the worst injury crisis I've ever seen. Plus the signing of the best striker we could have hoped to get and a pretty decent end to the season.
There you go, I've seriously questioned that Hotlips did a "God-awful job".

General's thread only, please.

I think we all need to be patient - as hard as that is.

I have a soft spot for persons with a heart condition. The atmosphere surrounding them is pretty cosy. And I like the idea of GH glowering at the players in half-time while GM tells them off.
