Who disagreed and paid the price?


The price is to be personally attacked until you give up wasting your breath.

This board has had lots of people how suffered that fate.

I don't consider myself "in" anything


try disagreeing with the clique for any length of time. You'll find out.


Why what happens?

I've been arguing with just about everyone for months about the manager, and other than this chip that they've inserted in my brain very little has happened to me.

You have made an accusation that you have been personally abused. A mod/admin person disagreed. You were then told what next to do if you wished to pursue it. You've chosen not to and instead want to go on and on about it. You've 'threatened' to go off to VillaTalk and yet you're back. So, as you're here you know the only way for to get what you want is to put whatever your problem in a PM. If you don't want to, stop going on about it.

Risso, my point about about Jon Fear was that some people ARE unhappy about the way VFc are seen as the voice of the fans. And, that they could categorically deny that they are not when questioned or represented in the media. Hence, they get annoyed.

Does the Trust make similar statements?

Yes, cos Risso & Pete Bland know all about not agreeing with the "clique" :roll:

And you didn't answer my question from yesterday either John.

I seem to recall not answering questions is something you've got very goot at yourself.

Actually they do and have received personal abuse for their pains. But they are strong enough to brush it off, not everyone has the stomach for it.

Yeah, and Ian Robinson was banned for it too.  And i suggest you pm Risso if you want to know who had the final say as to whether Ian was let back on.

It must have really upset Risso, whatever it was, becase it's limited him to just the 3224 posts.

There are the occasional spats and fallings out but most of us are grown up enough to dust ourselves down and get on with it. Not keep complaining to teacher that the big boys are picking on us.

Again, you are turning it into my dad is bigger than yours. That is irrelevant to my point. Some people feel a certain way about VFC,and they are not happy with them. If a VFC spokesman was to come on here and debate his/their position then we could thrash some ideas around. Maybe get a real combined voice. But that isn't happening. So, ppeople will post their thoughts. The majority on here seem to tak an anti VFC stand. Initially I thought they had some good ideas, now I think they are becoming tired. This isn't about personalities to me as I've never met anyone on here, or who speaks for VFC. I do know I would be happy for Jon Fear - if it is he- to not allow journalists to state that he is a spokesman of Villa fans. Heoesn't. I don't like that personally.

This is about personalities.

What's good for VFC has to be good for the Trust too. Just so that when the Trust speak to the media we all know just how many they are speaking for.

He IS a spokesman of Villa fans, just not ALL Villa fans.  I imagine the only people unhappy with the fact that he doesn't ask every journalist to sign a legally binding document stating that he won't be referred to as "Fans' Chief" are half a dozen people on here.
