Villa report, just reports what he sees on other 'news sources' to be fair. They never pretend to be itk like lots of other Twitter twatters.

Unless you are in a position to buy the club in general, there's nothing that you can do about it. So personally, I'd worry about it if it happens.

Well in that case why do we bother debating about potential signings, matches, sponsors, contracts, kits etc.

We have no input into any of them either.

Who is "us" in this scenario? Whoever NSWE sell the club to?

I think that might come up in the negotiations.

I'm sure it would come up in negotiations, but we wouldn't be the first club sold without the stadium to some chancers in the future.

The 'us' part referred to the Club In general potentially having to pay millions in rent every year out of its own income if any future owners are unwilling to invest.

Admittedly all hypothetical and they haven't done anything to doubt they're current motives are anything other than to get us promoted, but you never know what is around the corner.

Sell it to NSWE Stadium for a massive amount and lease back to the club for peanuts for a year.   NSWE Stadium then sells it back to the club for one pound.  Rinse, repeat.   Continuous source of income for FFP purposes, cost neutral for the owners since they're selling to and buying from themselves.   Easy peasy.

What would happen if they decide to sell the club whilst the Stadium is leased, where would be the motive to sell back the ground for £1 then?

They could potentially rinse us for millions more in the future if things don't work out.

No idea how I finished 3rd, I had about 3 wins at Xmas.

Poor game.  Grealish showed his quality though to play through the hate and score what was a great perfectly placed finished.

Mings was quality - we need to do all we can to sign him for next season.

it isnt just him though. It seems everyone of u23s gets a serious injury, gardner, rhm, o' hare, davis......what are we doing to them ?

KMac is two footing them all.

Must say Elphick is doing well so far. Winning headers and using the ball well.

Bolaise doing his impression of Heskey.

Any reason why Kalinic is not with the squad yet?

Probably haven't been able to register him yet. I think you have to register a player 24 hours before a game and the window opened today so I imagine that's being done today.

Wait, why is everyone so relieved Abraham is starting?

Papers saying he might be going back to Chelsea

Just now, BleedClaretAndBlue said:

He really cant defend can he. Surprised Smith has gone unchanged, at least reinforcements are nearly upon us

Not a lot he can really do with the back 4 now. If he is still there when Elphick is back we can critisce Smith then.

Shocking start

Even more reason why he shouldn’t be starting then. 

Yeah i agree he needs more minutes before starting again, i just dont think he is shit compared to Whelan in that role. I'd put them about equal, Bjarnsson has better energy and Whelan is a better on the ball in my opnion.

To be fair to Bjarnsson he has just come back from injury too, i think he just looked off the pace.

Not all, our game v Chelsea on boxing Day in the O'Neill days was far from boring. But I'd agree most are.

'something' Villa Park would be fine by me. I'd imagine that they would plaster the new name on the outside of the Doug Ellis stand. You get a decent view of that going along the expressway and M6 so would work as a giant adboard too. Surely that exposure would be worth £20m a year to one of Sawiris or Eden's businesses.

Lol where can you see that in game ?? They got me muddled up with other scout Kevin who worked for st mirren and massive Newcastle fan. What tabs that under mate ?

Its in your profile under the information tab. If you go on the SI forums and find the right data thread for Walsall they'll probably change it for you.

My mate Ollie who's a massive Colchester fan tried to sign me in the game and got this reply from computerised me  absolutely creased myself here!

 

He messaged me with screenshot and said:- 

 

You're a Newcastle fan in mine apparently.

Closet Geordie.

No we are in the championship, they couldn't care less about the players appearances.

Thought the same. I think he has had enough too

What did he do?

Bad luck @tomsky_11but the better team won.

I didn't know Bolasie was a Full Back? Unless he is a Full Back don't see why Bruce would be interested. Unless he can play as GK as well? 

He once played 10 minutes in goal for Hillingdon borough in the FA Vase, so obviously our new no.1.

My nan still had a tv that looked very muchlike that one in the late 90s that she still used.
