Rod Liddle is a c*nt regardless of what he thinks about Aston Villa. He's not worth talking about outside the context of punching pregnant women.

He’s also a racist c*nt.

We have had plenty of spells out of the top flight? 4 years in 50ish isn't it?

Only Everton have had fewer.

Thing is though, I do think that is somewhat the perception of us around the country.  If we criticise a manager because we aren't doing well, you see plenty of "who do they think they are" articles and conversations coming up. 

On the flip side, Everton fans are always justified in their complaints, no matter the circumstances.

I reckon most fans are aware of what size club Villa are, and I think, ironically, our spell outside the top flight has only served to remind people. We were always going to have to put up with a lot of shite from sycophantic twats if we sacked Saint Steven of the Slippery Feet, though. Best ignored.

Just Wikied Liddle......fucking hell!
If you wanted to create a totally foul, racist, selfish, misogynist, ungracious, poisonous fictitious character, guaranteed to be hated by all, that's him!

I don’t think the owners have just suddenly decided Gerrard wasn’t up to the job, the doubts would have been there at the end of last season. With that in mind, they would have been scouting & putting out feelers for possible replacements long before Gerrard was sacked.

You don’t accumulate the wealth they have without looking further ahead than the next 24 hours.

I think they’ll look to get someone in with PL experience & of the highest calibre possible.
It might be from Rodgers, Emery, Hasenhuttl & Frank.

What an entirely poorly researched and written article. His editor must have been taking a nap when that mindless dirge crept through. We sack Gerrard because he’s shit and it’s on us not to expect anymore. Glad that right wing waffle crap is behind a pay wall, his sports ‘journalism’ is just about on a par with his race baiting ‘political journalism’.

He should stick to what he knows best, bare handed crap stirring and punching pregnant women.

Would love Pochettino and think Villa should be trying to move heaven and earth to get him. Failing that Roberto Mancini might be available and would be a fantastic appointment imo.  Biesla would be entertaining. Definitely don't want any more managers from Scotland or the EFL.

This next appointment is crucial,  but knowing Villa it will probably be John Terry or Wayne Rooney.

I misread the last sentence as us getting John Wayne.

Same here, mate.

We've just got rid of one massive wanker. Don't need another coming back or joining.

I’d like us to go for Patrick Vieira if Poch isn’t coming.

I’m not against Rodgers, or Roberto Martinez. However doubtful that is.

One thing we’ve always done since the owners got here is to do our business without shouting about it in the press. We seem to have a tight ship with regards to transfers etc getting leaked.
