Absolute bollocks! Just like your claim that all the staff had a party when he left.

How do you knows that they didn't?  We were given that snippet by a very reliable source.  Some of the staff had very good reason to celebrate the back of MoN.

I was given a snippet from my niece who still works there.  If the staff had a party she wasn't invited and knows nothing about it.  In fact, she says the mood was quite the opposite when he left.  The people she works with had a lot of time for him.

Believe what you will. It happened.

Maybe it did, maybe it did'nt.

Have'nt we done well since then though?

The thing with O'Neill was that we could have done a lot better with  the squad we had. He thought he was bigger than the club. One mistake he made was being very aggressive with a high profile member of staff before the Valencia game. His card was marked from then on. I could never understand why the General denied that O'Neill had his own private family room in the Trinity. I saw it but nobody was allowed in.

Where was the "party" and which members of staff organised it?  How many people attended?

That's true, I agree on that, but if that's true about MON, it is utterly written in stone for the current manager. I honestly don't see how you can criticise MON for that, yet be so supportive of a manager who has made a decent squad look utterly wretched so often - not because it's not coming off for him, but because that's what he does - negative, and unambitious.

I'd have a lot more time for McLeish if we could at least see what he's trying to do, and that he was trying to win games, but so many times, he does not do that at all.

In fact, I have seen plenty of shit Villa sides over the years, but I genuinely can't remember feeling embarassed by the way we play as often as I have this season.

That's the really depressing thing for me.

Well, I imagine the international scout, perhaps the physio in charge of treating player fatigue, the youth coaches, the club accountants (etc, etc, etc...)

I can confirm what DC5 has posted. The majority of the backroom staff at BMH were delighted when he departed.

One mistake he made was being very aggressive with Sharon Barnhurst before the Valencia game. His card was marked from then on. I could never understand why the General denied that O'Neill had his own private family room in the Trinity. I saw it but nobody was allowed in.

It isn't just players and coaching staff down there either.

I know that. My use of the word 'backroom' might not be the correct one.
