Quote from: AsTallAsLions on July 17, 2019, 11:36:12 PMMartin O'Neill was a failure at Villa, and history has shown him to be every bit as talented a con man as the worst of our managers over the past few years - I can't believe there are still Villa fans who would describe his tenure as a success. Baffling.Agree.

A humorous dig at Small Heath that made me smile and a comparison to what happened to Rangers that sent a chill down my spine.
MON definitely was the right man at that time. True, he didn’t get a higher finish than O’Leary but he did manage to maintain the 6th place finish for 3 consecutive seasons, which I can’t recall us doing in my lifetime ( and I ain’t young). If he’d left at the end of the 2009-10 season most of these occasional debates would not be appearing on here. The problem was that his style was never going to feature the players with stardust in their boots who win big games with the moments of brilliance to haul a team into the top 4.
Err, ^^^^^^^^^ I posted that yesterday.
Lerner was basically a clueless fool.He threw loads of money at it without thinking it might make sense to spend some of it appointing people who knew how to run such a business. Man City's owners have an endless supply of money yet even they made a point of getting Barcelona's off-pitch management team in.Randy got his dad's best mate and some 12 year old who ran a call centre for him.All the failures, all the money wasted, the retreat, the years of decline, all of it is rooted in that witless, naive stupidity.
He comes over really really well. I’m glad we have him.

As I recall, he started off on the right foot, and got some fairly high profile names in, like that Cain(?) bloke from Nike. Then I assume they weren't chronic yes men, so he called for Faulkner and Krulak instead.

Missed that with all the MON talk!Exactly, can a mod move all this MON shit somewhere else, like 2010? The fecker is gone and we always say the same thing about him. Let him live out his days in Leicestershire watching True Crime and crying over Marlon Harewood and Cyrus Christie.
