Wasn't he having an affair with someone who was documenting it week-by-week via Dannys Baker & Kelly?

That rings a bell. The old dog (him, not her!)

That rings a bell. The old dog (him, not her!)If memory recalls she had photos of herself and Brian and he paid £5k for them if you believe what she told Baker and Kelly. I think Dave you revealed on here many years ago that the bagman/driver for the cash was one Dave Chance?

This for sure, we stopped scoring goals and a bit of luck went against us and it all went with Manure, the day they beat Sheff Wed and I think we drew with Coventry.

It could be the age old Villa problem of being behind the curve. Football was changing but we still wanted to recreate the Saunders era.The 90s, oh, what a missed opportunity they were for Villa. Somebody said '90 was the real missed opportunity and, maybe by a shade, we looked more like champions in '90?I was more disappointed that Brian Little's team didn't 'kick on'. Even though we finished 5th in 1996-97, at the time, it seemed somewhat disappointing after our superb season in 95-96. We were poor in the cups in 96-97.1997-98 was really disappointing. Nothing seemed right. Little didn't seem himself that year and the performances were poor. At the time, it seemed the signing of Collymore upset things. Overall, as others have said, on the three occasions where we had a chance to push on and become champions ('90, '93 and '96-'97) we just didn't buy the top player(s) that would give us that edge. I often think the summer of 1997 was a real missed opportunity. I think we were a midfielder and an upgrade on Savo away from being an exceptional side. Instead we ended up with Collymore being shoe-horned into the side with Yorke and Milosevic.

Quite firmly established in the higher reaches of the top flight at the time, though not always finishing there, we were behind the curve bringing in top quality foreign players when we could have probably attracted them. Arsenal were bringing in Bergkamp, Chelsea brought in Gullit, Zola, Vialli, Newcastle signed agin ola, Asprila etc. That was the time to show some real ambition, but not to be sadly.The next chance we got were the early years under Lerner, but not to be again.
