Sweet F.A.

I would like to offer a sincere thank you to the Football Association.

If it weren't for their consistent incompetence, they might have actually hired Martin O'Neill to be the new England manager.

Luckily they didn't and he's now become the manager of Aston Villa instead.

If he's given a suitable budget before the transfer window elapses (which I think he will as it will strengthen Doug's selling position) and a takeover goes through before January then I firmly believe the good times will be on their way back to Villa Park soon.

Once again, thank you F.A.

On a seperate note, well done Doug. You've managed to hire the highest profile manager available... Or did someone else help?

UP THE VILLA!
