JPAngel Posted August 4, 2006 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2006 Tom did you see him when he asked MON if he was going on the tour? What the hell? Retard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Ok, so after watching the press conference, is anyone is any doubt about doug leaving? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_joe_venglos Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I'm a lot happier after the press conference. MON had some "quick chats" with Doug, hopefully meaning he had a few more with Lerner and Athole Still. Doug hasn't got a clue the Big C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Put it this way, by the end of september either cuddly or MON will have gone. One way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Put it this way, when has any manager ever taken on a job in a club of this size and in a situation like ours, with just a quick chat with the chairman/man in power? Somebody talked to MON and it sure as hell was not Ellis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassyNoel Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Apparantly Fear has just been on Midlands today discussing the appointment, and he apparantly said that he has on good knowledge that Lerner is taking over the club, and he has the champagne on ice? Can anyone else confirm this, as i no longer live in the midlands. Thanks. Tonight's Midlands Today in Real format. Plenty of preamble ahead of the press conference -- great to see so many there to greet him. http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/realmedia/midlandstoday/bulletin.ram Mmmmmm....Shefali....

What about you? haha - funny you should say that as I have been thinking "at least I can say I was there when we were shit"!!! It does have a feeling, this moment in time - a feeling that suggests the good times are once again about to roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCinSpain Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I think O'Neill being brought in by Ellis is a last sop to his ego. He won't get a place on any new board, so he wants to be remembered as the guy who brought in MON. Probably the best thing he's done in the last 24 years. Lets hope next week's Ellis' last one.

runetune Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I don't know if anyone has seen Ellis in the pitch side interview on the BBC (http://tinyurl.com/n6qgm link) - ignoring most of the rubbish from Ellis - the very last question is: Reporter: "Will this be the last major signing as Chairman of Aston Villa?" Ellis: "I don't know......But I'd hope so!" Okay so Ellis has strung us along before but I was surprised he said that. Usually I would have expected him to either dodge the question or go on about how he can still play tennis with the young 'uns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPAngel Posted August 4, 2006 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2006 oooooh, thats wierd. Maybe he miss heard? Maybe he means he doesn't want to have to hire a new manager again? I'm so confused. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
