I think you will find that Lawyers advising clients that are having problems with thier employer are told to make a note of every discussion and all behaviour of thier bosses, there is no law that says you have to share that information.

If you don't share how it can it be proved that it is factual and accurate?

Because it may well be a factual and accurate recording of what took place and the other party are not able to rebut (for want of a better word) your record. The truth whatever it is will eventually come out.

If true it again just shows up how amateur Lerner and Faulkner have been to allow MON to run rings around them in this way.  They are after all suppossed to be professional business executives.

As I mentioned on the post-match thread he couldn't resist getting a bit of self-promotion in on the Villa related questions on the Sky interview.

Said claims that he left Villa in the lurch were false because we got 6 points from our first 3 games after he left???!!! Talk about selective history.

ALan Pardew has done in one season, with far less money, what Martin O'Neill failed to do in 4 seasons, yet gets far less recognition for it from the Martin-friendly media.

He looked one nervous bunny yesterday .

Did anyone see McLeish applauding the Villa fans before and after the game? Reminded me of the trained sealions you see at Sea World or perhaps more apt, the Ginger Walrus .....

So, what kind of reception did the wee, four-eyed, turncoat, pubeheaded walking-sack-of-shite get?

Was it terrific, absolutely terrific?

From your roving reporter (behind the 'DougOut' )  8)

I think he got off quite lightly, personally. Probably because of previous 'hero' status when he was here.
Comments (well, shouts actually) included :
"Judas !"
"We used to hero-worship You"
"Did you bring your Lawyers ?"
"Did you bring your Cheque Book - please buy Heskey"
"Surprised you're still here, - you usually go before it's finished.."

I know much has been written about him here - and I know not everyone will agree with me, but ...
I have lost ALL respect for him. The timing / manner of his departure. Then, an already wealthy man shows he's coin-
operated by taking legal action to f~~k OUR CLUB for more money after the event. But the final nail in his personal coffin was yesterday... not his words in interview (typical of him) but his ACTION (or lack of). He didn't clap for Petrov.  Says it all - self absorbed LITTLE Man.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear Pat Murphy throwing him some searching questions after the game.

Following the total lack of respect by MoN in the 19th (for Petrov) ~
I might add (because only those in the immediate vicinity heard it)
I suggested to McLeish, to win over the fans, he might 'nut' MoN...
He didn't - of course , but it raised a laugh... ;)

PM has always been scathing in his assessment of MON because of the nature of his departure. I still think there are some legal ramifications that are preventing a true picture being painted about that situation though.
