I think that people are a bit unfair towards Lerner. I mean, if he had been Captain of the Titanic, I am convinced it wouldn't have hit that iceberg. It would have gone down before it ever reached it!
Mr Lerner, do us Villa fans a favour will you. When you eventually sell the club, go and buy one of Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd, Spurs, Liverpool - in fact, all of them if possible - and then, maybe then, you will have given Villa hope of becoming a top four club again. Of course, there's a small matter of getting back into the Premier League first, because your final act was to relegate us.
Gareth Barry on a 2 year deal with a coaching role in the pipeline would be excellent for our football club. Maybe he could also play centre back in emergency situations?
This Trabzonspor design is good, particularly the one with the claret shorts and socks. By the way, according to an internet-based factoid, they took their colours from the famous Aston Villa!
Shit refs that always favour the so-called "big clubs".
I'm hoping that we will be one of those so-called "big clubs" in the Championship and get refs that favour us for a change.
Is that slightly hypocritical of me?
I'm not so sure Di Matteo would be a soft touch with the players. He's got a bit of steel about him and, with his record of winning the Champions League in recent history, would be a drawer for player recruitment.
I reckon Martinez will end up back in Spain for his next job.
Rodgers has the knowledge of the Championship that we are looking for but surely he would see us as too far a backward step?
Our next manager depends entirely on a takeover. If we get sold and the buyers plan any sort of major rebuilding, the likes of Moyes and Rodgers might see a rejuvenation of Villa has a good job. If we're stuck with Lerner, even the Chuckle Brothers would see us as a risk to their careers and sanity.
2-3m per year is 40-60k per week. For relatively unknown players from small French clubs. I doubt they're on that much. If they are, the deal brokers our end need an appointment with Mr John Gregory and his pump-action friend!
Maybe they could produce the DVD and sell it to cheap Soho backstreet clubs for men to watch whilst wearing gimp masks and having their balls stamped on by some sleezy fat bird wearing high heels and brandishing a whip? You would need to be that kind of sick to want to suffer watching that shit again.
I honestly thought that I was going to enter the thread and read:
.....will be free ONLY to all those purchasing a 2016/2017 season ticket.
Just by way of one final piss-take by the management at the club!
