For me Ron Saunders IS AstonVilla that there is no commemoration of his time with us is an absolute scandal.

I would hope that a statue of Saunders would be something that the club would consider at some point in the future. I'm sure people of this parish who were involved in the very popular McGregor tribute could (if they so wished) have some valuable input. And I'd like to think that fans who remember his work would be willing to donate?
I can't see us changing the name of the Witton Lane Stand for some time. If we do it now, we'll be portrayed as insulting a frail, elderly man. If we do it after the worse has happened, we'll be accused of tarnishing his memory.I hope that at some point we redevelop the North Stand and, if we do, I'd like us to rename it the Ron Saunders Stand, with a Tony Barton Suite enclosed. Preferably with a statue of both men outside.
For me the best Manager of Aston Villa in my lifetime
great man who built fantastic teams to play this beautiful gamei never knew he played for Everton even though he's from up that way
