I might be on my own here, head on chopping block. This isn't ment to provoke, but it's my opinion. I think we're looking back at Steve Stride's time at villa through claret and blue coloured spectacles. I can remember him making some dodgy decissions (please don't ask me to name them, it was long ago and I can't remember them specifically) in his time, and thinking its about time he moved on and out the club along with Doug. The all seemed old school, an not in a good way.
I'd like to see someone like David Dein roll up at villa park than Steve Stride. Someone with more of a vision, it's no coincidence that since dein left arsenal they've not been the fighting force the once were.
I think we need to move forward, not look back. And certainly not back to Steve Stride.
