it was mooted to be about 2 million. Anything was an insult to Villa fans though. Terrible day.

I genuinely still find it hard to believe he was appointed.

I agree. The whole sequence of incompetence leading up to his appointment is so bafflingly stupid it's surreal, like it happened to someone else.

i'll never forget the day it dawned on me. I was in England visiting a friend and so was a bit aloof from the speculation for a few days. When I got back to Dublin Airport and switched on my phone I had a missed call from a villa supporter. I rang him back and I was quite simply dumbstruck. I was so shocked at the rumour.

What were they thinking?!

Taking us down would be the worst thing imaginable. We need someone that can motivate, I don't think he could motivate a suicidal man to jump off a cliff

If you want us to stay up, give the manager your support.


Rubbish. Sack this useless buffoon and the fans will unite. It's so bloody obvious.
Sorry for being thick.

Someone on VitalVilla is saying that Randy has listened and will be appointing Poyet and Zola for next season.  Just passing on, don't shoot the messenger.

Hmmm. So either someone on a fans messageboard knows something the manager doesn't, or the manager knows as well and isn't fussed that he's about to be sacked.

The pay off will probably soften the blow, but yes, I feel that it is utter bollocks also.
