Everybody in your world Silhill is a conspirator. Everything is so black and baleful. The Houllier at Anfield incident was an hour in 150 years of Villa history not some bloody vengeful apocalypse.
Not really Brian , we were discussing GED and his brief time at the club. Over time I think some see him now as some shining beacon in 5 or 6 declining, wasteland seasons. The anfield night yes was one evening. The comments were ill judged, but it kind of somew him up for me , he never really came across as fully engaged in the job. Someone on here described him as a distant consultant which was quite apt. The results were not great either and GMAC salvaged our league position ultimately not GED. He wasn't of good health and that is somewhat mitigating but I don't see him as this visionary guru some are now portraying him as.

Very well put, I think you are spot on.
Thanks , and that's where we will leave the GED chapter of visionary brilliance .

In the best traditions of Columbo, just one more thing.

You do understand what a vision means in this context don't you?

a. What you see when you dream
b. Jennifer Garner (or whoever tickles your fancy)
c. A medium to long-term goal.
d. Some bollocks I made up to fit an argument.

"...and when we got home, Gerard Houllier would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing You'll Never Walk Alone."

Weird how Gary McAllister, who we all now acknowledge to be the real mastermind behind the 9th place finish that season, hasn't been mentioned as a potential successor.

Which in turn reminds me of the most hysterical thread in even our long history. http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=43016.0

Ha, I'd forgotten about that little gem.
Mind you it wasn't all mass hysteria.

Toronto nailed it on page 1.

Signings don't work out for a number of reasons. It happens, and using hindsight means none of us would ever make a mistake. Doesn't make the thinking behind the signing wrong. As I said, Makoun was getting a lot of praise on here.
So he wasn't "rave"  ;)

At least try and speak English. Some praised him, some raved about him. It really isn't difficult. But as usual you stick to avoiding the points raised that you can't answer, or don't like the answer to.
You've conveniently dodged all the points I raised and are now resorting to personal insults ?!!speak English ? Brilliant, really awesome level of debate.  ;D

Hello Mr. Kettle my name's Mr Pot. My my, you're looking a bit black.

Could it be someone who's got a different user name today, but still has villa as the last part of a one word name?

Without resurrection of a thread from 4 years ago, I stand by my Glenn Roeder comments 100%. It kind of summed GED up .

It certainly sums up the fact that only you could wet your knickers about an experienced coach doing some scouting of future opponents.

Yes it did end well, because our results picked up from then on. And you weren't alone; there were some other idiots on there but you as ever were the most idiotic.
