That club statement has made me feel even more sick than I did last night! For the love of god...............

[VillaAlways]

I think I'm going to vomit

[Rip Van We Go Again]

What a meaningless, patronising load of bollocks.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Around this time he also came out with the classic 'we'll finish 4th...er, i mean 5th, my hand slipped' comment and as Risso might recall, he more or less offered somebody out on VT.

My opinion of him just went up

Yes, but it WAS Risso.
He threatened to shake him about like a rag doll.

Did he threaten to kick him to the kerb, like a filthy dog?

He threatened to rip his arm off and beat him to death with it.

He also stated 'I will beat you so badly that by the end of it, we'll both be crying.'

[VinnieChase84]

I made the fatal schoolboy error last night of somehow watching on with no booze. Tonight however (especially after reading that bs statement from our bollockless board) I am going to make up for lack of booe last night. All of this is like a nightmare. I hope to wake up with a hangover tomorrow and realise that all of this has been a terrible terrible nightmare

Its time for him to go. When we still had an eleven point cushion I was posting on here that we were in serious trouble and got flamed for being a doom monger and exaggerating the danger - we're 11 points clear!!!
I take no consolation in the perspicacity of those predictions - the end is indeed NOT nigh - and still think that we will actually finish 17th, but F'eck has got to go.

what a load of crap

[Dr.Feelgood]

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).

Right now everyone connected with Villa is hurting badly.

A win was in sight last night against Bolton after a strong start and the tenacity the team displayed, although ultimately we weren't able to hold on for the points.

We very openly acknowledge the frustrations of Villa fans and share in them completely.

What matters to us and the Board at this moment is how we, as a Club, handle adversity and the pressure it brings.

Our horizon is the next three games and we continue to be in control of our own destiny.

Young players side-by-side with more senior players are fighting hard for the Club.

They are now preparing for West Brom followed by Spurs and Norwich.

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

We are totally conscious, as is everyone at the Club, that this is a very trying time for those who love Aston Villa.

We know that the team will continue to fight through every minute of the remaining games and we hope Villa fans will continue to show their great support.

An example of saying something when it would be better to say nothing.

Yup.

[garyshawsknee]

I think after the reaction last night,he'll be gone in the summer,but it may be too late for our season,they should've got rid of him today,gave the job to Kev Mac for three games,the youth would respond to him much more.  I didnt think it was possible for me to feel as bad as i did last night,but i do after reading that.
