What a load of cobblers, O'Neill left Villa in 2010, since then Houllier, McLeish, Lambert, Sherwood and Garde ( correct me if i have missed anyone else) have all had a go and wasted money. To say a manager who left 8 years ago is to blame for a large part of their current predicament is absolute nonsense.
The two idiot owners they have had in that time bare most responsibility, not a manager who left 8 years ago.
MoN definitely started the rot and those that followed and the two idiot owners all played their part as well. They have never recovered from his excesses and that should be a lesson to other clubs.
