PussEKatt Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Another way to look at it is this. Lerner didnt change any names and turned the squad into shit.This guy wants to change the name ( slightly ) and turn the squad into gold. I know which I prefer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted May 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2016 It will always be Villa Park, so they can call it "howdy doody truckstop gravyland" if they like and it means we don't fall foul of FFP and can invest heavily this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 At least he is happy to have Villa in the name, fans will still call it Villa Park. NO problem from me as long a sit means money coming into the club 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 48 minutes ago, Shropshire Lad said: Exactly my thoughts. I don't want it to happen, but if a name change is to take place, adding "Lotus" before Villa Park is far more tolerable than the jokey (but plausible) suggestions of the Recon Arena. However, if they want to find routes in order to plough £50m into the club to bypass FFP, couldn't they just stick "Lotus" on the shirts? I would think that a sponsor on a kit would get more notice than a sponsor on a stadium. Both is better though. All sponsorship deals are checked for market value. If we can get say £20m for shirt sponsor and £10m for ground sponsor, thats better than trying to say £30m for shirt sponsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in Champions League.... however, let us drift down the leagues because we have our head in the sand over what it takes to compete in today's football world. It will always be Villa Park no matter what it is called. I therefore have no issue. Bring it all on Tony!!! Are you calling me an ostrich?

NIVillan Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Times move on. They never used to have cross bars or substitutes. New Fangled inventions. No Problem with Renaming Stadium, we moved out of one when we had just won the double! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be going that radical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 'Lotus Villa Park' was only a suggestion by James Nursey anyway. Going by Xia's comments it would probably be something more like Lotus Health Park/Arena/Stadium. Fine by me, the club needs to generate as much revenue as possible.
