what personal comments have they ever made about Ellis, or me or you guys etc.

It is fair comment to say that a sick 81 year old should not be in charge of a PLc and OUR football club.

I think anybody reading this thread or the countless others like it might also reach the conclusion that Villa fans are nothing but whingers.

Ian, please tell me you're joking. What 'personal comments' have VFC and friends ever said about us? Are you serious?

I don't think that's a fair comment at all and think it's ageist and very personal.

Tony how is saying a 81 yo is not fit for the job agist, he isn't, no 81 would be.

Only as ageist as stock exchange rules that say directors shouldn't stand for re-election after the age of 70.

What has his age got to do with anything? How can you say that's not personal?

William Dillard was an 80 year old CEO. Google is good like that.

shouldn't it is not good governance because they could die at any moment and leave the company in trouble and seconddly they recommend new blood.

And it is no more personal than saying someone who is blind can not drive

It clearly says "shouldn't" Tony!   ".....Except where it's in the best interests of the company."  

Well thank God Doug stayed on then, else we'd have very probably "done a Leeds."
