Vastus teemale \'ASTON VILLA FC\'
Taken from the Fiver letters section.
\"I\'d just like to make a quick comparison between two doddery old
leaders of once-promising powers: Doug Ellis and Yasser Arafat.
First, they both celebrated victory in 1982. But in both cases, they
weren\'t actually in charge - Deadly Doug wasn\'t chairman when Villa
won Big Cup; Yasser Arafat was celebrating his \'victory\' as he sailed
from Beirut - he\'d actually been forced out of Lebanon by the
Israelis. Third, whereas Doug christened a stand \'The Doug Ellis
Stand\', in Gaza it\'s the \'Yasser Arafat International Airport\'.
Fourth, they\'ve both lost staff. Ron Saunders left, saying Doug was
interfering, while Yasser Arafat has similarly been accused of
interfering by Abu Mazen, Mohammed Dahlan etc. Finally, they\'ve both
had a notable lack of success. While they have both celebrated a
couple of little victories (Coca-Cola cup and possibly withdrawal
from Gaza) both have generally lost ground for their noble causes\" -
