Statement from Pravda


its hardly a vote for the manager though is it

The only thing I would note is that they say they "continue to rely on the manager and squad".

Which sounds a bit threatening.

I've just emailed PF with a copy of that statement saying that its BS and isn't how we feel.
(I know it's no use and it won't be read but surprisingly I feel a little better for doing it)

Fuck them all off! Bastards! Randy is a blithering idiot. He's like a bloody cartoon character. Faulkner is a prick. I'm not alone in thinking that, and always have done since day one. He just comes across as a bit of a pillock who likes the smell of his own farts.


However, doesn't a statement like this in football, normally mean that the manager gets the boot a week later? Here's hoping. Sadly it won't fucking happen.

We will continue to support and rely on our manager and the squad and therefore give them our full support.

I SO wanted him to get it right here. Not just because I've been coming to Villa Park for 35 years, but because I thought he was a decent man who would be able to motivate the players and who would be desperate to show that he CAN produce teams that play good football. I hold my hand up and say that I've been proved wrong. I can't remember the last time I felt so impressed as a Villa fan - even the 86-87 season wasn't this bad - back then, football was different, and for the whole season (starting with a demolition job by Spurs on the opening day) it looked likely that we'd go down.
He has to go RIGHT NOW to give us, the supporters of this great club, the chance to unite behind the team.

Well put, Kevin Dawson. 45 yrs for me. I too hoped & the 'anti' fans can now say 'i told you so' to those of us who tried to give the benefit of the doubt. Decent man ? We hoped - if he was, he would fall on his sword for the sake of AVFC. Sadly, he (like others in his job) are coin-operated & will not go because of 'contractual obligations' (Money).

Same here - I wanted him to succeed, but that wont happen now, so let's say goodbye asap and rebuild....hopefully while the club is still in the EPL.

That statement makes me think he won't be here come the summer whatever happens. It's quite clearly been an unmitigated disaster right from the start.

'Just rolled a four Randy that means he stays another year'
'Thanks Paul love you'

Sod that. Publish it and we'll all have a go. Each subsequent action from the board makes my blood boil. There's only one announcement I want to see now on the OS.
