I can only think he appointed Mcleish to spite the villa fans. For that he cannot be forgiven.

I thought he was better than Houllier?

Really? It's time to step away from whatever tipple you are partaking of my friend. Houllier at least had an ethos of playing football even if it fell away at times, McLeish was the very definition of negativity.

I think you'l find Monty is referring to Sihillvilla's suggestion that McLeish was better than Houllier.

Meanwhile, pour me a glass of whatever that is you're drinking.

Whoever thought of wine out of the Box is an even bigger idiot than our last manager (that being Fergie's mate not MON2.0), I am always spilling the damn stuff!

Indeed!  Also, unless you are a posh twat, the only time you are ever going to have wine in a box is on a picnic or at a dodgy music festival.  Sorry to the posh twats on here, am sure you are just really friendly people :-X

I open the box, take out the bag, hang it on a stand and then have it intravenously fed to me. I'm not a piss head but I do like the odd drink or two. ;D

From an article in the FT:

Premier League pay hits new high

Quote
The advent of Financial Fair Play – new rules from governing body Uefa aimed at making clubs live within their means and limiting a new owner’s ability to come in and spend wildly – was labelled “a change potentially as profound as that brought about by the Bosman ruling [which let out-of-contract players leave a club for free]” by Deloitte.

But the effects of previous big spenders are still being felt. Chelsea-owner Roman Abramovich has loaned just under £1bn to the club since buying it in 2003.

Chelsea and some other clubs, such as Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Queens Park Rangers, benefit from so-called “soft loans” from their owners. This meant that despite combined net debt of £1.4bn, the four clubs paid less than £1m in financing costs for the 2012/13 season.

He came and had a go.

Man City joined in, he gave up.

He tried to sell up and it took a long time.

He gambled on free transfers and loans to protect his investment.

To be continued.....
