General Charles Krulak says Aston Villa will summon the spirit of the US Marines to escape the dropHome Garde told: Don’t panic!GENERAL Charles Krulak says Aston Villa will summon the spirit of the US Marines to escape the drop.The rock-bottom Midlands outfit are marooned on eight points — a whopping 11 adrift of safety.And they have had more managers than wins this season!Tim Sherwood at least guided Villa to a 1-0 victory at Bournemouth on the opening day of the Premier League season.Following Sherwood’s sacking, new boss Remi Garde has picked up just four points from nine games. But board member Krulak — reclusive owner Randy Lerner’s right-hand man — claims Villa should draw inspiration from his own glittering military career.The 73-year-old was a commander in the first Gulf War and also served in Vietnam.He told SunSport: “I faced way bigger 'losing battles' than this — and won them.“You can’t tell me this is impossible. Three wins in a row and we are back in the mix.“That’s what Randy believes and what everyone at the Villa believes. The day you don’t believe is the day you quit. “Let’s just look at Desert Storm. It was 4am and we were standing next to minefields separating Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. There were trenches filled with gas, massive artillery ready to rain down on us and the threat of chemical attack.“My next in command looked at me and said, ‘How are we gonna get through this?’“I said, ‘We’re gonna do it, we’re gonna go through this like a knife through butter’. “It’s easy to give up but you can’t do that. We fought our way through those minefields and the rest is history.“Never forget that Randy’s father was also in the US Marines and he shares these values, these beliefs.”A belief in miracles would probably be handy right now.Villa have gone 19 games without a Premier League win and still need four points to pass Derby’s record low of 11 points during a Prem season, set in 2008. There are suspicions Villa will keep their powder dry in this month’s transfer window and save their money for the Championship.But Krulak added: “I speak to Randy almost every day.“He is a man of high values and integrity — the equal of anyone I have ever known.“His word is his bond. Nobody has their sights set on anything other than staying up and Randy is backing the manager 100 per cent.”

What planet are these Villa executives on? Really?
Quote from: Deano's Mullet on January 06, 2016, 12:06:02 AMWhat planet are these Villa executives on? Really?It beggars belief. Just when you think it can't get any more embarassing, Villa's very own 'Uncle Albert' pops up with one of his war stories. Is he even still involved with the club in any capacity?
