Tomaszk Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 30 minutes ago, Dr_Pangloss said: The high risk strategy Xia deployed well and truly blown up on all of us. What a mess, an absolute mess, he has screwed up big time with the last two managerial appointments and oh how dearly it has cost us. He was ambitious which I like. Without his investment, we'd be in League One now. With it, we should be Premier League. Di Matteo, carcrash. Don't know what happened with his appointment, but that was a big error. Since then, he's been let down by everyone he's employed to help him along. Wyness and Bruce, both total failures. I read the statement as Bruce is staying. If we're about to hold a fire sale, that's a disastrous decision. He's finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came promising an Aston villa theme park, growing the brand - in reality he will not or can not invest - his sole plan was spending the parachute payments to bounce us back into the PL Sadly I can see him doing a Lerner and realising his dream is dead - hard times ahead for us I feel . never was 1 game so vital as last Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 If Xia sticks with Bruce then for me he is definitely Lerner MK2. That cretin couldn't see past Lambert despite large sections of the fan base knowing he was a car crash appointment. We need an owner that is not just about throwing a load of cash at the project but has a clear positive vision for the club and creates a sustainable model.

LakotaDakota Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 More interested to see what happens in Jan, If we are somehow top 3 come the new year i wonder if he will just think f**k it lets spend some money to get out of this league and just pay the fine for breaching FFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 To me its part of chairmans \ owners lot to work around FFP - the clubs that do this , Leicester, Bournemouth, Wolves move upwards. He doesn't have the money, all we know about recon is they buy and sell companies - Villa sale is on Tony's to do list now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I think Saturday may have been the most important match that a single club anywhere has ever faced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having money isn't the problem, it's complying with FFP. Promotion would have seen a £200m windfall. Saturday was our entire future on the line.

AvfcRigo82 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 It's very depressing to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Xela Posted May 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2018 Anyway, before we all get depressed, it doesn't mean we can't get promotion next year. We just need a new approach. Wolves, Cardiff and Fulham were all down here for longer and came up with a wining formula. It'll be more difficult but its not a lost cause. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly it's a very easy league to get out of for a club who gets it right. You don't need money, you don't need to be a big club. We just need to get it right and it can be done with peanuts if that's all we have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
