I do not doubt they have injected money into the club and general facilities. It makes it a better place to go to. Youth team has always produced the goods from way back before Randy's arrival.We are looking at a few years of dearth in the wilderness while he gets that investment back.Ashley Young is only the beginning of the exodus.I will deliberate when I see who we replace him and others who will undoubtedly go, with.Randy runs the whole kit and caboodle and we pay him for doing so. He better have some success or the Holte pub will be as forlorn a place when saturday comes round as it is on any given weekday evening.Randy is of the Puritan ethic and the Villa were always dashing Caviliers...I'm not sure what sort of plough he'll have us pulling next...but I can see the shires being groomed right now.
It is the same old song and dance as far as I can see.
Time will tell..CD. Time will tell.I want to think the best for the future. I do not wish to continue seeing half-arsed attempts at being merely adequate any more. I want the Villa to be the best team in the land..I always did and always will.We had a good run under MON and then it went to pieces. Houllier was a gentleman manager and got torn to shreds by the pressure to a point where his health became endangered. He did well in the short time he was there.Now I sense a new order is coming to fruition and I have a sense of trepidation about what I envisage and what may transpire. Maybe it is fear of the dark syndrome? I certainly do not see top 4 challenge for a good while.If it works out well and we do not get relegated I will be happy with reservations.I do not see dynamism as in the several top teams who dominate the PL presently.It is only football eh? 'not a matter of life and death' is it?I will never hate the Villa and my outlook, as you seem to feel is dubious, results from my concerns for the future our great team and the return to greatness that the greatest fans in the country deserve to see back again.This appointment still has to be seen to be an astute move.I'll give it time..it is all we have. Long live the Villa..it will be around for a lot longer than any of us and when the dust of old arguments has settled and wiped away.Prozac.?.Villa is the Prozac in my life and it ain't doing the trick just now.
