Just been to Villa Park and signed the book of condolance for Ron. Very touching. Bit surprised that the book was only about a 3rd full but it might not be the first one. RIP Ron.

It’s Thursday morning - most people are at work. I imagine it’ll get fuller at the weekend.

Just had a reply from Lee Preece, re. my complaint about the Ron Saunders ‘tribute’. Not sure how to show a link to it, so I’ve taken three pics of it!.

To be fair to the club, their explanation of why it went awry is exactly what I thought had happened too.
