I am all for listening to fans, but this is unprecedented and weak leadership isn't it - whatever we think of the potential incumbent. I really do miss Steve Stride and I never thought I would say that.NB - I am sure it was my wally with the brolly comment that finally put it to bed :-)I've been saying this for some time, they hold far too much store by what about 400 internet nerds say across Villa forums.

Re: Murphy being "sad" "Bitter" and "with an axe to grind" - genuinely don't understand these comments. I've been away from UK for 4 years now, but always remember Pat Murphy being pretty well respected in Vila circles, even since Lerner came in. Have I missed something in the mean time Risso??
I simply refuse to believe that a reporter as eminent (and Maz I am with you reference MO'N and some bile on his part) as Murphy would stake his reputation on a national radio station and say what he did yesterday if there was not some truth in it. McLaren saying that this morning is probably more about damage limitation on his part I would suggest.
