You'd have to be on crack to think that he was a better manager for us than Brian Little.

Ok 19 fucking years.

I think you need to do some work on your 'fucking' maths.

We finished 5th in 1997 under Brian. Keep fucking trying.

[dave.woodhall]

We finished sixth under David O'Leary.

[LeeB]

4th, 5th and a cup. Three things O'Cuntychops didn't manage, and all inside the the last 20 years.

Not to mention a team actually worth watching.

[saunders_heroes]

Atkinson was a better Villa manager than Little. Best football I've ever seen at Villa was under Big Ron.
O'Neill was top notch though and he built a bloody good team here, and I loved the "never say die" attitude of his players. How many games did we get late winners or equalisers? Pity it all turned sour when Lerner bottled it and gave up. I'll never forgive him for what he's done to our club since O'Neill walked.

[LeeB]

But Lee, if Champions League Football was the mandate, I'm struggling to see how Marlon Harewood and Zat Knight, amongst many others, were the kind of player to take us there.  Good enough to come second in the "sub-league" outside the big four, which was a sea of mediocrity, but in my view there was never serious chance of them making the CL.  And even if we had scraped 4th, I couldn't have seen us even getting through the qualifier at time when we were being comfortably beaten by the likes of Rapid Vienna.   

I agree. I think he made some shit signings, in fact I think he totally blew the fantastic work he did in the first 18 months.
He'd turned the juggernaught around with relatively little outlay, a few really good deals (Petrov, Young, Carew) on key players that improved the team, and then suddenly all we seem to do is buy loads of squad fillers to sit in behind his favourite 11.

No, I think it was doomed to failure, but I do recognise two things.

1: He did a good job in the first place. There are many, many managers out there that would have fucked up the opportunity he was given.

2: The owner was massively culpable. When he was making us that big fancy slap up meal, he neglected to tell us that was the last of the food for a month.

Maths you reckon? I started by saying that in my opinion, Oneill was our best manager in 20.years. Well since 1995/6 we are in the 20th season So you do the fuckin maths. Yes Sir Brian won us the league cup and finished 4th but O'Neills team was robbed of a cup against man u. Plus 3 top six finishes for good measure.

I'll never forgive him for his timing either. And BFR was a top manager till Deadly pulled the trigger.

No denying our managers since MON make it hard to judge him properly, as they have all been, in their different ways, shit.

Please don't swear so much. It isn't big and it isn't clever.

John Gregory managed sixth as well, and he'd had to sell our best player after the season had kicked off.
Didn't make him strop off though, probably because he wasn't a spiteful ******.
