What they Said
โI donโt think it [Barrett and Dykesโ petition] deserves any comment.
โI just think itโs ridiculous.
โIf you are bottom for three years then it would be fair, but we have had three progressive years.โ
Vic Crowe.
โThere is a certain lack of logic in this petition.
โIโve got confidence in the manager and his assistant and I think they have done a good job.
โIf they [Barrett and Dykes] think anybody could have taken Villa out of the Third Division I suggest they go to Bournemouth and look at the situation there..โ
Brian Evans, Shareholder spokesman.
โItโs not going as well as one would have liked.โ
Dennis Barrett
