MATCH QUOTES

"As spokesman for the players, I told Mr. Hartley [the Villa chairman appointed after the removal of Herbert Douglas Ellis] that we are very happy with the way things are and that we don't want any more changes. "The players did not want to become involved, but something happened which made us involved so we had to state our position." Bruce Rioch.
