That's a bit like your wife or husband maxing out the credit card, remortgaging the house and spending the kids' birthday money on foreign holidays. Still, at least Magaluf was nice.

Yes - that'll be the reason - not the overpriced signings we are still lumbered with and shite home form.Oh and the way he left - that's the one - you recall the way he left?

Scotland are on a massive high at present and will come out of the traps buzzing . When did they last beat us ? 77 ?

What a wasted opportunity.
O'Neill failed. He did no better than Gregory, but spent more than any manager in our history, bringing the club to it's knees financially, which is also Lerner's fault for handing the cretin the cash so readily. The summer he said hang on, the bellend walked out on us to cause maximum damage.Wrong manager, wrong time. Somebody with a more progressive approach to football would have won us the home games needed to qualify for the champions league. The home form under O'Neill was disproportion8ately 5poor compared to our peers because we were so one dimensional. Now we're lacking dimensions of any sort when we attack, so of course the O'Neill years look attractive.What a wasted opportunity. Lets deal in facts;1)Gregory inherited a decent Villa team , MON did not.2)MON worked to the budget and plan provided, he didnt set it.3) The club settled out of court with him when he left. If they were in the right they would not have settled.4) Every manager has a style of play he favours.Its usually to get the most out of the personal he has at his disposal.We had tremendous pace in that team, it made sence to play the way we did.MON is held in high regard in the game, there are however a small minority of Villa fans who continue to peddle nonsence about his time at the club.A wasted opportunity ? We have form for that as a club and usually it involves a talented manager walking out the door in dubious circumstances followed by years of mediocrity. Thats the wasted opportunity.

I'm wrong, Marcottis right, your right.As long as we keep ignoring the facts.
