This 2006 column from Nicky Campbell always stuck with me, defending Doug Ellis against Villa fans unreasonably expecting something more than mid-table mediocrity. Yeah we've had some mismanagement since then, but look where we are now. Fans are allowed to hope for better things! https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/jul/27/sport.comment1

Nicky Campbell is the biggest doom-mongering, elitist, knob jockey going on either radio or broadsheet. Any thoughts this slobbering, cockwobble of a journo purveys can frankly get in the sea, end of!
When was Nicky Campbell ever a sports journo?? Certainly not now and arguably not then judging by that absolute drivel.
