Sorry I am wrong , MON a cowadice traitor for take us to sixth and pissing off when he is unhappy.

He pissed off because he couldn't get his own way and was totally unused to being told what to do, something he hadn't experienced since Cloughie in the 70's.

My ex-manager knew him reasonably well at social functions from his time at Leicester.
I asked her what she thought of him.

'Very opinionated, never wrong and refuses to take anybody else's point of view on board.'

I understand how he polarises opinions though, a friend of mine who I drink with post matches approaches the realms of violence if you dare to say anything negative about him.

Burn him at the gates of hell

Lerner and Faulkner are perfectly fine was running up huge losses year on year .

All is well with  the villa hierachy.

Would Faulkner be in charge of say Tesco's if they had multi million pound losses on his patch? if he was in charge

What the fuck are you babbling on about? Perfectly fine? I said Faulkner and Lerner share the blame did I not? I couldn't have been more explicit.

Your gripe is about running up huge losses. Well who chose the players that have cost so much? Who was the visionary that spent so much on average players he hardly used on massive contracts? Many of whom still haunt us or have proved expensive to rid ourselves of and with little return.
Sixth, big fucking deal. It should have been better with his resources.

Even then, you just have to accept he wasn't up to it and that's life but if you're happy with the way he left, at the worst possible moment, taking his staff and coming back to drag the club who backed him so luxuriously through the courts, that's up to you. I am not. He made a mess and saw no profit in staying and cleaning it up. So he ran away like a bitch.

Put simply, the bits that faulkner can control such as sponsorship, kit deals etc have improved significantly since he joined.  I'm not sure he should be held accountable for contracts that were signed before he was promoted.

Didn't someone say yesterday that his previous job at the club was specifically involved with agreeing contracts?

MON wanted them, the board told him he could have them

My son wants every toy he sees on TV, if I get them for him and he turns into a spoilt brat and screams "You dont love me anymore" if I then refused him another toy, then who is to blame? me or my son?

And look what happened the first time they tried to stop him.

Tell him I said O'Neill is a poof's drink.

I agree with Mark that the board freely let him sign any old arse wipe on huge contracts, that was rank stupidity.

O'Neill still has to take some of the blame for the whole sorry mess, his transfer record is pretty woeful.

if you dont drink or eat you die in due coarse
so taking anything except cash,cards to tesco(no gold or football clubs ect.)is a waste of time
if R.L.could find a buyer he  would be gone, now that the oil money has changed the road map
still it would be like steven segal winning an oscar forR.L.to get his money back

Will do

My ex-manager hasn't seen DOh'Neill since the Leicester days, she knows fuck all about football and didn't even know he'd managed Villa.

Gandalf who sits in front me at VP would crawl 100 miles over broken glass to wank over O'Neill's shadow.

I'm not sure.  I thought someone said that when he was promoted he became "director of football" and started to negotiate the contracts thereby justifying the constructive dismal theory.  That happened in May, whereas MON quit in August.

I don't think MON did the right thing by us or the club.

But he is not totally to blame for the debts and huge player wages etc... just cus he wanted them doesnt mean that the board had to give them to him

We need to stop moaning about Martin Nodeal and worry about the situation we find ourselves in. I blame Ellis for ripping apart the European Champions but I had to let it go. Were in a mess this season and need to get to 37pts asap or we really will have something to moan about.
