I'm not sure this Doogan chap is very good at his job. Just a hunch.

He sounds like a bully.

I seem to remember him doing a phone in with Tom Ross last season and making a bit of a twit of himself.  Strikes me as a bit of a yes man.  And I agree, any issue between a manager and journalist should stay there - don't think the head of media should be getting involved, even if it was well meant.

Why is a bloke like Doogan, appointed by the Poison Dwarf, still in a job at Villa Park?

Bit like Lerner & Lambert then - pretty crap at their respective jobs!

I heard "Reego" bitching like the gimp he is about how hard it is to be a journalist and deal with the Villa. Probably has something to do with being a shit stiring fuck.

He could always just fuck right off from our club and stick to covering WBA. Everyone would be happier.

@patmurphybbc: Declaring a personal interest I was pleased for Nigel Clough today after losing his mum & his @dcfcofficial job in the last few months.

@patmurphybbc: Lerner hasn't given a presser since May 2010 or spoken to radio/TV since buying @AVFCOfficial in 2006.So who will give him some home truths?

I suspect Lerner doesn't get home truths and is surrounded by an army of smithers when he does come into contact with people.

Murphy off on his personal crusade again I see.

Yep - but it doesn't make him wrong

No, but you'd have thought after over seven years he'd have realised that Lerner doesn't do press conferences!

Mind you, how many owners do? There are the obvious examples of the likes of PornoDwarf who are never out of the papers but really, how many owners do press conferences?

He's whinging because he's not getting access to people he probably thinks he's entitled to.

Spot on. Good luck getting an interview with the Spurs owner about who actually picks new signings or the Bolton owner about their debt. Both of whom seem to spend about as much time in England as Lerner.

Not many. I suppose Doug would never shut up.

You've got Dave Whelan who rings up Talk Sport.
