Very happy days.
Yes,l have mellowed somewhat regarding Doug. He was innovative and dragged us out of the 19th (sic) century but we became Ellis Villa and the sale to Randy,as bad as it turned out,was not before time. I remember the likes of Shankly, Paisley and Ferguson seeing Villa as joining the elite, the Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal triumvirate. But Doug failed to adjust to the modern game and we knew the rest. Current owners? Excellent start, but we are,in purely football terms, light years behind the Sky 4 or is it 6? Solid foundations laid now, particularly with youth recruitment, allied to serious,when appropriate, investment,will give us a fighting chance.Imagine what he would have achieved with owners like our current ones.
You know what, Des Bremner would be worth squillions today, absolute squillions, he was an unsung superstar. Magnificent midfielder.Happy Birthday Des
Every good team needs a dynamo type of player at the heart of midfield and Des was our unsung hero who did the job to perfection.
That Ron Saunders bloke certainly knew how to assemble a team
