Is there any point in bring back the past? I was not alive during our biggest period of modern success. I am sick of seeing us milk the success of the early eighties and the constant referral to the players of that era.

We need to create history for the younger generation of Aston Villa supporters! I thought we had a bright future?

You are right to say we have to create history for today's generation but worng to deny those of us who were around to witness those heady days of the Saunders era.  What you have to be aware of is that my generation had far much worse shit to witness than what you think you are seeing today, ask anyone who stood in Rochdale, Bury, Halifax and the like.  I'm sorry but for the rest of my life I will be grateful to Ron Saunders and his players because for once in my football following life I was top of the tree and damn proud of it! Any time anyone wants to remind me of those time they're welcome.

[Iago]

Do not misunderstand me. I appreciate the legacy Saunders created at this great club and I am also fully conscious of the depressing days you witnessed in the lower divisions. But surely the climb through the divisions excited you? And the utter delight when you saw us lift the League Trophy and the European Cup suppressed the disappointment of the previous years?

You must ask yourself what have the younger generation at Villa Park witnessed? When is our romance going to begin?

Ron Saunders has maintained a dignified silence on a number of issues over a number of years and has chosen his moments to emphasize his enduring affection for Aston Villa FC with consumate aplomp since his departure.

Don't drag an elderly and revered man into your petty propaganda wars, Lerner.

Yes the climb through the divisions did excite me but not the descent which is why I'll always give the Saunders memories priority over all the others to date.  I think that everyone supporting Aston Villa will agree that it is one hell of a roller coaster ride.  Paradoxically the future that you and I crave comes out of the past, history of the club and so on.  I've posted on here during the AM thread that he's not my first choice and that neither was Ron Saunders at the time.  How wrong could I have been? We have no choice but to give him a chance.  Football has a funny way of balancing itself out, mark my words the day will come when the likes of the Ipswich's and Burnley's will again rise like the Phoenix and disrupt the perceived order.  I'm sorry to say that it won't happen in my time now but I sincerly hope that it happens in yours and you get to pass on stories of Villa success and bore your grandchildren like I am doing to mine.

'Petty' best describes the way some people are looking for every possible reason to criticise the board at the moment. Petty, and pathetic.

What you have posted here is what makes this football club special and more attractive, IMO of course, than the likes of Manchester United and other perceived "top" clubs. I want there to be a struggle and a low point, it makes winning much more sweeter. Unfortunately we seem to be locked in mediocrity and lacking imagination at this moment in time.

We can only hope and dream of success for the future. But I have an inkling we will win the FA cup this coming season  .
