Depends who you believe really.

David O'Leary has "agreed to part ways" with Aston Villa after Doug Ellis believed him responsible for the statement by the first team squad criticising the way the club is run.

Ellis' ego will be the death of Villa, mark my words.

they'll finish 9th-14th.

Dredge this up at the end of the year when I've called it.

Way to go out on a limb, Bangers.
Aston Villa to come in the bottom 15...

And here'sthe hot tips...

*Reading to win on handicap this year +56 points (that is, have a season like West Ham did last year).
* Fulham and Coleman — gone.
* If City lose Vassell and/or Samaras for any period of time, they'll go down.

No freakin' way. Although Vas and Big Sam would be my first choices as strikers, don't forget we now have enough strikers to cover for any injuries. Whats your thoughts on Corradi? has anyone actually seen him play?

Every Villa fan on the planet wants Ellis to DIE. We arent calling for his resignation ... no not at all ... we want someone to go out there and assassinate the c**k AND take the rap for the rest of his life !! FFS !! IS that too much to ask ?

LOL seriously ... Ellis is Satan ... noone is MORE evil.

I don't blame you really, Ellis has been holding the club back for his own personal gain for so long now.

O'Leary is a really good manager and still relatively young compared to the other blokes kicking about in the EPL.

Nobody could have done better with the team Ellis gave him. Ells' reluctance to spend money to advance the club will eventually come back to bite him on the butt.

Who'll take charge of them now???

Exactly right. Even Guus Hiddick couldnt do jack sh*t with Villa because of the Evil Emperor.

Same crap ... year after year ... but nothing will change until Ellis dies, or sells the club (yeah right :roll:)

Villa SHOULD be a top 4 team ... we have one of the best stadiums, and we along with Leeds and Liverpool produce 90% of the nations top juniors. It's criminal that we only figure on the bottom rung of the ladder, year after year. Doug is simply content (as anyone in his dotage would be) to stay alive.

And yet noone can get rid of him .... the man is Satan i tells ya ;-):lol:

also all this crap he is dishing out to the supporters and the club will make it that much harder to attract big name talent, at the top of their game, in their prime.

cant build a winning culture and an environment with which players will want to play if he doesnt pull his finger out and stop accepting mediocrity

I would think West Ham would produce as many when you consider Lampard, Carrick, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson, Anton Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Dafoe, Reo-Coker etc etc

Hey what do think our chances are of getting O'Leary to coach the socceroos?

good choice imo

but i dont know if the FFA is looking at him

apparantly martin o'neill is in the mix

seems that every time a plumb international job comes up, his name is mentioned

West ham ? In London right ? No sunshine you dont produce didley squat compared to the outer areas. You buy your talent, you are in London.

All those players you mentioned ARE NOT West Ham juniors. Three guesses where they all came from tho .... Leeds, Liverpool and Birmingham.

p.s. i deliberately neglected to mention Manchester. They also are one of the leading producers of juniors. Not United ... they are scum ... but City.
