Brian Little Speaks

[dave shelley]

And me.

After the last few posts we should probably point out that the #Me Too movement has absolutely nothing to do with Brian Little.

Yes, I'd like to point out my earlier post was in no way accusing Brian of sexually harrassing me.

I'd love it if it's not already taken?

What was the view when he became WBA manager in 1999? Just seems a bizarre move for them to make when you consider his legendary status at this club. He hadn't done much at Stoke who were a divison below WBA at the time so seemed odd they wanted him.

Lasted just over half a season and was sacked when they were in the bottom 3 (Townsend was also there at the time). Megson came in and kept them up on the last day of the season and then got them up to the premier league two years later.

It was the only time I've ever wanted them to do (reasonably) well.

I had a bit of a row with one lad in Torquay about it at the time, he didn't rate Little and subsequently I told him he was wasted on his poxy club, or some suchlike.

I remember being extremely disappointed when I heard he was going to SHA as a player.  I was never over fussed that he went to the Albion.

When Little took over Albion it had been over a decade since we'd been in the same division. Few cared that much about them. It would be nice to hear the story of that 99/00 season in Smethwick. I believe certain promises about funds and the sale of players were made and not necessarily acted upon. Little, never the most open and outgoing character with the press, had a face like thunder throughout what was a pretty horrible eight or so months. It was not a happy club although, perhaps surprisingly, Megson brought a lot of fun back into the place.

Sorry if it’s been posted before, but the Little videos on you tube (villa view) are brilliant. Over two videos he talks about his whole time at Villa.

Great man.

I see Brian is doing a book signing in the Holte Suite before the Stoke match - might be a stupid question, can anyone go in the Holte Suite or is it only ST holders?
