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 .

cue uncontrolled hysteria from some that the walls of Villa are crumbling around us. Honestly, is this really a big deal?

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.
