He had shedloads of cash and spent most of it on utter shite.It's almost summer, we're in the Champions League, we love all our players, our manager, loads of football to relax to over the next few weeks, life is good and moves on, most have vented on their feelings regarding the pubeheaded chancing, self loving, twat. Those that haven't will get there eventually.Lots of people on this thread have him as decent, more good than bad etc. I thought he’d probably be the most hated.He was a useless ****** and unprofessional charlatan who pissed a quarter of a billion quid up the wall and it’s all the more galling as I was all in on the project. The stuff that has come out from various ex players over the last few months has made my blood boil. We could at a bare minimum have been semi competitive in this league for the last 15 years if we’d appointed a half decent manager at that time but we got Mr Thought he was the new Clough and have had a decade of utter shite to show for it. He can fuck off, and when he gets to there he can fuck odd again the big pubeheaded wanker. God I’d forgotten how much I actually fucking hate him, what a total ****** who seems to get a pass from all his media lickspittles. ******.

But he was still useless and I vividly remember my celebrations when he was sacked.We absolutely destroyed Paul Lambert, back to back promotions at Norwich (like McKenna now), remember that game at Norwich under McLeish where the Villa fans were chanting for him. Emery is by far the best we have had since the BFR days.

Without wanting to rake over too many coals, MON did elevate us to a position where we were playing in Europe, challenging for silverware in cups, challenging for CL football and attracting good players at the top of their game (Milner, Young, Delph). There were some decent games in there too.It wasn't all bad. Don't hate him, don't love him either, in the middle for me.
Garde was that inconsequential one night stand when you were at a low ebb that's best left buried deep in your own mind.
Liked most - SaundersDisliked most - McNeillHonourable mentions: SGT, Barton, Sir Brian, Dean, UnaiDishonourable mentions: DO'L, MON, Gerrard, Bruce.
