Kendrick Says It's Time To Ask Questions

[dave.woodhall]

I think this was written by the chap that used to sit in the Directors Box until recently but was removed for various comments he made.  He could have an axe to grind.

He does. But to be fair to him he is a Villa fan through and through.

I dont think his "report" or Kendricks meaningless article achieve anything though.

They boil down to :

"I do not like to see Villa lose and I think the people running the club should fix that or go."

Well gee whizz, it was all so simple!

The bottom line is something I found out a long time ago; the only thing that matters to the vast majority of supporters is how the team is doing. Randy could live on Mars if we were in the top half of the table. None of this week's outpouring of rage would have happened if it was us who'd scored in stoppage time on Sunday.

Sounds to me as if the falling out has come as a result of his opinions rather than being the origin of his opinions.  However, as dave says, that's only one side of it.  I guess we're not likely to hear the other side.

That he says we never had 4 bad seasons in a row under Ellis makes me think he is a prat.

Can this response be verified as genuine?

Because if it is I may have to adjust my position on the Board being in any way approachable and get the bed sheet out of the washing and start photocopying the £ signs...

"The Hodgson Report"

What a self important twat.

Agreed - but did / does it necessarily make him wrong?

I am sometimes bemused by the fortified defences of 'The Board' members on here.

Who are you referring to with that, though? I think he's probably right about the board on a lot of counts, and I personally am hugely sceptical of their inability to distinguish their arses from their elbows in a lot of senses, but that Hodgson bloke is right up there with Fear on the self publicising thing.

Please don't tale it personally.

I think there are a number of people on here who would defend the board for different reasons. I will not. I admit to being hoodwinked into the MON stuff especially as General was saying don't worry about finances- RL is passionate etc....

Since then most major decision made by 'The Board' in terms of football has been very poor. Other people think differently. I disagree,

I think it started by appointing Faulkner to an elevated position - although it only became apparent to me about 4 months later when The Board / his first major recruitment wasn't even available to work. 

We are run by amateurs.

Agree on the later points re this Hodgson bloke and this other Fear bloke.

True. I admit Villa has been very poor recently, I find the getting the knives out by Kendrick & Hodgson a bit cheap.

There is often a jostling for position when organisations are going through a rocky time, with change imminent. Most articles posted with the air of a rabble rouser on Facebook get support from people, just as there are those who keep close to the management. It just depends where people feel comfortable.

Oh goody. I see the Daily mail and the telegraph sports Journos are up Hodgsons arse for his article so it will make the papers and Lambert will be pelted with it in his presser.

I am sure that will help Lambert and the team focus as they train for Sunday.

Jesus.

Interesting how there has become a very strong defence of Lerner the longer the week has gone on but some noticeable shifting of stance on the footballing side and therefore Lambert.
This started after the West Ham game and is now more noticeable. If Lambert does not get sacked soon you can be certain that his future is being discussed and people are being canvassed.

Bin him asap.

"The Hodgson Report"

What a self important twat.

Whilst the 2003 Hodgson Report was a pile of shit, his comments above are more or less spot-on. Very hard to argue with the majority of the article.

First thing that shocked me was why Randy would share with Lambert Hodgson's letter. It seems the monkey controls the organ grinder.

The title may well be a bit up himself, but there's not much to disagree with in the piece itself.

It could be taken a bit more seriously if he hadn't just had a falling out with the board.

He was saying this stuff way before they booted him out of the directors.

Lambert and the team have had plenty of time over the season to prepare. As Matt Kendrick mentioned, those at B6 seem very "relaxed" about our position. Hopefully this will be the first of a long overdue wake up call.

And he wonders why they did?

Sacking the manager is only treating the symptom.

It is so obvious the club needs to change the way it operates.

Tail wagging the dog, sort of thing. I also found that strange. Lambert must be equally seething seeing the slating he is getting everywhere. I reckon Culverhouse will be having words with the crowd again soon as he is bound to get some stick.
