MATCHDAY QUOTES

"My future Is not important.

"What is important is that we get the team right.

“The crowd support was embarrassing.

“They were brilliant but they have been brilliant all season.”

Ron Wylie.


"It was a tough decision to make but there is a big challenge waiting for me at Villa Park.

“Frankly Villa made me an offer I could not refuse and the set-up is tremendously impressive.

"I don't suppose Manchester City are jumping up and down with joy but I am delighted that both clubs have reached an amicable agreement and there is no acrimony about me leaving."

Billy McNeill.
