Possibly yes but even when games are not sold out the match thread is still well patronised. My excuse is that I no longer live in the area!! Which of course could apply to many people and it’s a big world that doesn’t have VP on the door step, ignoring that fact would be daft. Billions of football supporters as opposed to a million Brummies doesn’t need a mathematician to work out, regardless of the logistics. No matter how far ahead of the local opposition we are, which of course is miles and miles given what a shambles that SHA are and have been since the beginning of time itself!! UTV!!!!!!

Most of the people writing on this board seem to spend lots of time on the match thread and not at VP during games so there lies the answer, other revenue streams different to bums on seats, shinny new developments to Villa Park could possibly be viewed as owners vanity projects or possibly CEO’s vanity projects beyond managerial and player appointments.

As long as he’s back for Man U in the 3rd round of the FA Cup, you have to factor in Emi celebration drinks too!

He’s just shedding a little light on the subject JV!!

I agree JV we need patience and trust in the current owners but with the caveat that as a modern football fan I want something big and flashy and of course I WANT IT ALL NOW!!! UTV!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a distressed asset for years, if they want to make an offer!!

We’re not irrelevant any more mste, it’s time to enjoy your reward for all those years of Villa loyalty. I grew up in north Birmingham and so my story is different I only moved away in 2017 but I miss Villa Park now and always will, no life is perfect I suppose but mine has been pretty good, I was around through the 70s and 80s so I haven’t missed much, except seeing is left the FA Cup, so I’m keeping everything crossed that happens before long! UTV!!!!!

If he does well for us over a couple of seasons and is the difference that makes us competitive in the PL and CL plus perhaps winning some silverware he will have been worth a lot to us, I trust those more qualified than me to get these decisions right more than we have for years.

A good player too, always helps.

We’ll keep it simple by winning the Champions League, to avoid any complications.

As Unai himself said, it’s easier to win it now that we are in it at least!

Agreed now we’re in it, let’s win it. UTV!!!!!

There’s no getting round the fact that many of our Villa legends are, along with some of us too, now knocking on a bit, one of the unavoidable facts of life I’m afraid. RIP Chico and thank you for your big contribution to our history, HEITS

Next stepping stone to Anfield???
