		Ellis will say that he has backed all his managers and provided them with significant funds, but the record provides less than convincing support for his argument.
		Ellis will no doubt dispute this passionately but, for his own sake and that of the club he says he loves, he really should take a good look in the mirror.

		I firmly believe that although Doug Ellis has contributed much to stabilise the club's finances and to develop the facilities at Villa Park, I feel he is too conservative and "careful" ever to invest enough in players of sufficient merit to allow Villa to make a serious challenge for high honours.
