Quote from: Villanation on June 16, 2011, 08:40:29 PMThe first game needs to be a very well played win.The minute we go a goal down the atmosphere will turn so dark it doesn't bear thinking about, you'll see thousands of Villa fans standing rigid, arms crossed and stoney faced, real grim, from there on in its over for him.Yes, well there's nothing like giving him a chance is there?

To be honest, I've mellowed a hell of a lot in 48 hours. I really can't be arsed to mope about the appointment because it's done now so let's get behind him. As others have said, let's give the bloke a chance and see how we go. Up the Villa!
Haven't read every post so apologies if i'm repeating anything.Our new manager won shed loads of medals and caps as a player under Alex ferguson.He took Motherwell to second place in the SPL.He took over a Hibs side heading for relegation, brought them back up as champions then took them to a third place finish.He won 2 titles and 5 cups in 5 years at Rangers at a time Celtic had more money.He won 7 out of 10 games as manager of a limited Scotland side including some notable wins.He took over a Blues side on the way down, brought them straight back up, took them to their highest position for about 50 years then won them their first meaningful trophy ever. He also then got them relegated although he did have an injury crisis.I didn't want him mainly due to his relegations in England but he's our manager, he's obviously got some bottle (I don't buy the sugestion he's taking the job for a quick pay-off when it goes wrong) and I want the club to do well so he has my support. The fact that if he is a sucess with us it will stick in the throat of every Bluenose for eternity also appeals to me.

I hope you are not disappointed.I see that you have listed all the successes. It is all about reading between the lines, however. If you spaced out each of your lines and filled in the gaps of what happened in the intervening years you would not have a quite so rosy picture. I suggest you go back to Wikipedia and fill in the blanks.By the way, Celtic didn't have more money for all of the time, only the later years.If you are going to quote facts to demonstrate a view, it would have more credence if you didn't try and hide the negative aspects.
This will never work, no one can say what will happen...
