    When Doug Ellis appointed MON in 2006, the plan was to restore AVFC to the heights reached under Ron Saunders.
    This project was long term of course, but well underway. It was derailed first by GB's selfish move to Man City, followed by the board (Lerner) not opposing Man City's approach for James Milner. As if this was not enough, MON was also told he would have to sell to buy.
    MON faced this dilemma - sell to buy, but the team does not progress much (if any) further - and face the sack for 'failure', or do what he did and resign, knowing that the project had been abandoned anyway.
    However, no one is wrong in this matter. Lerner has to keep the Club solvent and knows AVFC cannot compete financially with the mega bucks spending of Chelsea and now Man City. If it is any consolation, nor can most Clubs in the EPL.

    Intrigued by your Sig mate.

    AVFC RFC SAFC? Whats the story?
    "I learned my trade at Arsenal, became a footballer at Manchester City, but Sunderland got under my skin... I love Sunderland"...Niall Quinn

    "I would have crawled up the M1 on hands and knees over broken glass to be manager at Roker Park"... Brian Clough.

    Clough on MON..."Anybody who can do anything in Leicester but make a jumper has got to be a genius"

    MON on Quinn..."To me he is ‘Mr. Sunderland’ - and always will be.”
