Where will we put the Sir Doug Ellis statue?
Sir Doug mellowed over the years and have to say I almost liked him.Then I think back to 1the autumn of 1978 and him trying to totally change our club. His criteria was basically Ron Saunders should go after losing Andy Gray and John Gidman. It was a horrible time as a Villa fan as they were 2 great players, but thankfully Sir Doug lost and it was the right decision and thankfully I was at Highbury and Rotterdam. I do wonder what would have happened if he had won that vote lol
I never expected to see the day when the Holte End would be singing 'there's only one Doug Ellis.'

I can be hypocritical with the best of them but that would be a step too far.RIP and all that but I am not rewriting history for him. And I deliberately left this thread alone for about a week in case anyone gets arsey about a lack of respect.
