I dont have a problem with O'Neill being upset about the Echo article, it could of been left till this coming Monday morning but some of the things he's saying like Rafa respects no one and only rang him to cover his backside are taking the piss.
If Villa now dont make Europe he'll blame it all on us and the speculation despite the fact he's the one keeping this story in the media.

He felt he had to come out and say something though didn't he? The way he looks at is that the Villa fans will be thinking that Barry is about to leave and that a deal is close etc but he wants them to know that it isn't the case.
That's why he's pissed off about it.
