Liverpool fans hearing a £19.75 million bid accepted, coming from a Villa ITK.
Has that been mentioned on here?
Oh come on, could they not stump up the extra £250k.
-
We've been reading that for about 10 days now, i'll believe it when I see it.
We've been preparing our bid for the last 7 days, it must be one long fax that someine is sending

Sorry pal, can you please direct me to some posts where you anything expect have negative things to say about Villa?
Do you have anything to contribue at all or are you just a negative person?
Are you related to steakandchips?
Again, post on poster. Try having an opinion on the team.
I do have an opinion on the team, and a very positive one at that, you should try it some time, it might make you feel better.
Anyway, im really looking forward to the season starting and supporting my team.
Im pretty sure we will make signings this week that will give the place a lift.

Good player

Get over it man, your like a stuck record
Sorry Mike, can you please direct me to some posts where you do anything except post about other posters??
Do you have anything to contribute at all or are you just an antagonist??
FWIW, if you look at the quality goals he scored, they came whilst he was managed by Hughes who obviously managed to get the best out of a volatile personality.
Sorry to let reasoning get in the way of a good dust up!

If there is one good reason why Mark Hughes should have been Aston Villa manager, this guy is it.

Lets be honest, he has never had a good run in the spurs team. He was signed by Jaunde Ramos and Daniel Canaloni and not Rednob
£3, would be a steal and he has still got about 5 years left in him.

There's only one realistic formation these days - 4-3-2-1. AKA 4-5-1, 4-1-2-2-1 and 4-3-3. They're all the same and don't require two wingers due to the fluidity required from any team to be able to compete.
Spot on, 451 when we dont have the ball, 433 when we do, thats why its important that our midfielders can defend. Hope Marc Allbrighton has been working on his tackles
-
Actually youre right.
Theres no need for any wingers thinking about it given the rubbish 8-1-1 antifootball formation McLeish likes to inflict upon ppl.
Well go and support Norwich or Swansea, they play nice football.
Villa have not played good football for a long time
-
and what if Nzogbia is the replacement for Downing only?nzogbia is a replacement for ashley, not downing. if stewart **** off we need two wingers in, not the one.Albrighton.
so 2 wingers in whole squad
great.....
You dont always need 2 wingers in modern day football, the key to a good football team in the centre of midfield, which has been a problem for us for a long time
-
General, its really crap being a Villa fan at the moment, hope the board have got something up there sleaves to give us a lift
-
If we are to sell, then thats the figure i would be happy with £8m profit on a players who has had 1 good season is not bad, and if liverpool can afford £20m on Henderson, they can afford £20m on downing

Duno if anyone has seen this
We have had further dialogue with a reprehensive of the club - this time a lengthy late night phone conversation.
In a nutshell, we both put across our perspectives.
In short, the board is more interested in McLeish's record prior to Birmingham (despite it being in Scotland) and consider the Blues situation as McLeish being a good manager in a very bad situation. We were told, McLeish has a lot of respect within the game (apparently, not just from Stan Collymore...). It was stressed that Aston Villa do not lack ambition with this potential choice of manager.
We were asked to relay what the fears of the Villa fans are. Obvious, really. Beside McLeish's Birmingham City affiliation, it was argued that Villa fan's main concern was we consider McLeish’s actual track record not as impressive as the Villa board might think it is. A relegation prone manager in the Premiership (regardless of the circumstances) is not a proper candidate for the kind of ambition and position that a club like Villa strive for (even in realistic terms).
Randy Lerner will interview McLeish and conclude whether he is the man for the job. That much is certain.
The expected feelings of Villa fans, in terms of the club deciding to court McLeish may have been underestimated. Although there's an understanding, the real emotion and bad taste it's caused hasn't really been factored in the decision to court McLeish.
The question of the point of the protest was raised to us. Well, that really is up to you guys and girls, suffice to say, we informed the club the protest is to voice what we believe in. Plus, there's the simple principle of no Blues manager should or has ever gone on to manage Villa (lets hold on to some traditions in the game!)
If Villa really want to pursue this management candidate, whether it's foolish or not, admittedly it's a bold choice, both for the board and McLeish. Looking into the future - if it pays off, it will be an incredible unlikely masterstroke, but if it goes wrong, the ramifications for the club, board and McLeish, don't bare thinking about.
It's a huge gamble.

PS - I would again like to extend thanks to the club for having a channel of communication, so we can discuss sensibly the issues at stake and what's best for Aston Villa Football Club.
-
try again
-
We are gonna look so small time on the news during the protests, i hope no one turns up.
-
5 Million pounds for a useless manager ! What is Learner thinking of . Blues must be pissing themselves laughing . This cannot be for real .
Not only Blues, but the whole country
-
The board are no longer fit for purpose. This is the ultimate humiliation
-
We are now the laughing stock of english football, well done Randy and Paul

On the lighter side: How many people have been out for a pint tonight? took the dog for a walk as normal at 10pm, walked into the local (village pub) and was greeted by no less than 9 customers and one sexy barmaid (shit, hope the wife isn't reading my posts on here) for a Friday night that is piss poor, Has anyone else encountered the same?
If you're in Vancouver or BC like I am, the answer is obvious. Canucks game is on in an hour. ;-) Go Canucks Go!!!
