Next Season: Anyone positive

[brentastonb6]

To the 145 ( 29% of 500) who wanted Remi Garde before he was appointed I apologise and did not know that was the case. I hereby correct my comments to the overwhelming majority of Villa supporters did not ask for his appointment......  and bring it back to my post which was a positive one stating there appears to be a growing groundswell of opinion and support for what he is trying to achive and I include myself in that number.

I think its fair to say than the majority saw the appointment as too much of a gamble not least because at the time we still had a chance of staying up.  My hope is that come next season he would have found his feet more and that we will have a decent summer of business.

[PaulWinch again]

I was quite positive, but the way we've handled this transfer window makes me concerned.

[mr underhill]

you mean in the way we appear not to have handled it?

[Des Little]

We've boycotted it

We will start the cycle of despair again come summer 16, Manager gone, players worth anything gone, because them relegation clauses work both ways and are normally loaded in favour of the player, what are we left with, the shit that no one else wants to buy and that shit will not be good enough to get us out of that division, lets hope to god it is good enough to keep us in it. The one thing we do know there will be no definable plan that's for sure, why change the habit of the last 10 years.

He has got us seven results, a win and six draws. If the board backed him big time on 1 January we may well have converted at least one of the draws into a win & be in the mix. besides, the joker in the dug-out before him should have been sacked weeks before he was.

I saw a video of Hollis more or less saying the club's problems have been instability and not lack of investment. The club's problems have stemmed from people who don't understand football making bad decisions: hiring McLeish, leaving Lambert in place 18 months too long, hiring Sherwood 'from a shortlist of one'. Oh, and the main problem has been selling good players like Downing, Milner, Young, Delph, Benteke and not bothering to replace them.

I do wish the people who are truly responsible for this mess would accept responsibility instead of coming out with more bullshit.

Rant over.

Hollis must think we're all bloody stupid if he expects us think our problems stem from a lack of stability. In the real world we all know our decline is down to Lerner not wanting to pay Premier League wages. This is why we have a squad mainly filled with lower league rubbish.

In any walk of life if you start explicitly criticising your boss and owner of the company in public then your next move will be to pick up your P45 which is a self defeating approach. I think he is saying pretty much the same thing but in the context of stability, thus avoiding personal criticism.

In the end though, saying it is the easy part. Doing something about it is where he will earn his corn and how he will be judged and that can only be over a decent period of time.

I doubt if he's there to change anything. He's there to do Lerner's dirty work leaving the latter to become even more detached from the club than he was before.

[martin o`who??]

I'm positive we're in for a shock.

This is the problem with Lerner. He wants a small wage bill, but we still have a high wage bill, yet our squad is almost teetering over with some of the most grotesquely awful players who have ever stunk out this great club. The sadder part is just how many are reeking the ground out in one go. Lerner brings incompetence to whole new levels. He's as thick as pig shit as morons like Dubya and Trump. Lerner is the sort of buffoon who rides an atomic bomb to it's explosion like he's riding a bull.

We don't have a high wage bill anymore though do we, it's lower than the Albions.
