The man is nothing more than a pretentious old cock. theres talk of a definate renaming of one of the stands at Villa Park.. lets hope and prey its the Ellis Stand
thank fook we got rid.. :):)

He does have an ego, but don't be short sighted chaps, the old boy has done us OK. We were in good enough financial shape to be taken over...look at Leeds if you want an example of what can happen if you get in wrong!

I think he is passionate about Villa but wanted to do it carefully. Unfortunately the way the game has moved on, he had taken the club as far as he could.

Randy would never have taken over had we not been in a good financial position. Lets hope he moves things on.....champions league in 2/3 years?

I actually felt a twinge when the daft old sod buggered off.. but soon recalled the only times of tangible glory I personally can recall for the Villa.. European Champs etc. during Ellis's Last sabbatical from the 'hotseat'..
so... Heres to a long and fruitful partnership between Lerner and 'the quiet man' O'Niell...:)

Shaun Maloney :lol1:

He was nothing more than a bit part player at Celtic Park.

Martin's downfall will be trusting his old players.

Petrov leaving was the best thing to happen to Celtic in years. £8 Million for a championship player :lol1: He couldnt lace Paul Hartleys boots :thumb:

I unwillingly seem to be agreeing with the above....
Villa are and will continue to:cry: struggle

He did spend money, buy some of it was not very well spent

Alpay... well what can ya say ?!?!

Luc Nilis....yes looked good:(
Merson to old for the money paid
Alpay like... until the Beckham incident.....shame how Man U did'nt do the same to RonaldoH! over the Rooney fiasco
Dublin heart on sleeve grandad well past his sell by date...and did'nt do a good enough job on Savage
