Dear Mr Hollis,

I appreciate you've got a massive chopper, and will put it to good use in the summer. I was just wondering if you could possibly set up some stocks for the useless barsteds being employed to wear "our shirt" so us that do put money into the club can at least show our demi gods just how we feel.

I think your doing a marvellous job moving the money loses round, hope your being well reimbursed,

All the Best

Tony

ps

even when you do fuck things up Randy will give you more of the clubs money to go away with.

Just what exactly has he done so far to warrant this?

Precisely.  Just need our next manager to come in and say 'It smelt all wrong, it was really on the way down, people say it can't happen to a big club but it can, and because they are a big club they slide even quicker.  But by the same token, because they are a big club, they can bounce back that bit quicker.'

At least it looks like the board and the fans are saying the same thing.
It makes a change from the bullsh*t we have had previously.
Now show us you mean those words about "drive, direction and immediate promotion" by appointing a manager and backing him.

It's much easier to describe a problem than to solve it.

Says a journalist...

Says a Villa supporter.

I know, 'twas light hearted!! I wouldn't offer out a boxer (actually I wouldn't offer anyone out) and I wouldn't try to outwit a writer. Totally off topic, but you have encapsulated in a sentence why protest is more fun and less morally ambiguous than politics.

Ah, sorry mike. I am being very thin-skinned at the moment. I was actually quoting Hillary Clinton, who said it about Bernie Sanders last week.

Blimey what is wrong with this letter.  It's like 'what have the romans ever done for us' sometimes on here.  It's more than that bumbling idiot who owns us has managed during his lifetime in charge (I discount incoherent ramblings about shummamites in that).  It is a good letter.  Obviously the next decision is vital but I believe (if for nothing else his bonus at the end of it) Hollis is trying to put it right.

well said Kippax. It's easy just tear everything to pieces. It'm impossible to cover everything that is going on, but this letter is on point to the events of this season and everyone knows there's a load of work to be done in all areas of the club to fix what is clearly broken.

He'd improve our left wing when the alternative is Richardson.

It's hardly saying much Ads when this fella would also be markedly better than Richardson

[quoteDavid Moyes with a genuine war chest would be a good start. ][/quote]

Is that the same as a player having "genuine" pace

There's a lot of ballyhoo and nonsense spouted in open letters. The birch, the wheel and a bloody good buggering is what some of these blighters need.

Victor Ian Values.

I'm not so sure. For example, at seasonal times of the year it's good to know how the other half are living, by means of a mass communication .

That would end in a right mess.


Mind you to be inclusive of the right, Ted Cruz could prep the half time sandwiches for us.
