  1. It's ridiculous. He's taken this club for a ride. That very inflated transfer fee we paid for him still really irks me.
  2. The 1 point keeps us ahead of Spurs after this round. That’s how we need to look at things here on out.
  3. Can’t keep saying “we miss X player”. We have a squad of quality players. They have to set it up against the likes of Everton.
  4. His previous posts were mocking fans that were upset about the consultation process, so he does not seem to be some neutral observer. The badge certainly looks much better than what was initially leaked, but as others have said - not sure if it will have a similar appearance on social media, etc.
  5. Presuming this is a proper apparel sponsorship deal, do we believe it would have happened without Sawiris being our owner?
  6. We have not yet developed a 2nd gear to counter the low block. Need to pick up the pace of ball movement to get the opponent out of their shell.
  7. Get Project B6 to make a tifo for the Newcastle game
  8. Heck's design is not about taste. The design is fundamentally flawed (as was the original Lerner badge). That's what has so many fans aghast.
  9. Anyone championing finishing at least in fourth place as a priority to winning the FA Cup should have no issues with plastic fans.
  10. or it could be like the Gerrard/ Emery situation where NS felt he needed to step in given the Castore debacle and seeing that he finally had a strong hand to play based on Villa’s on the field performance and star power (Emery, Martinez, Lehman..)
  11. Presume the contract models for the likes of Arsenal and ManUtd are different than Fulham and Forest. Given our trajectory and Sawiris’ involvement hopefully ours will be in the mold of the former - though obviously proportionate to the size of the fanbase.
  12. Please let’s not buy the narrative that this badge is done with the international fan in mind. I belong to 5 different Asian and North American Villa forums/chat groups and the great majority in each forum despise the leaked badge. “International audience” is a convenient excuse football owners/administrators use when they screw up these days. I recall the Arsenal owner saying they initially joined the Super League because that is what the majority of international Arsenal fans wanted. I actually know quite a few international Arsenal fans including two who are fan club chapter presidents and they all pretty much hated the idea of the Super League.
  13. Seeing these mockups makes the leaked badge even more infuriating. The level of amateurism is utterly shocking.
  14. If this is the badge, no way a proper agency was involved. It’s what is infuriating those of us with a branding background. It’s just so sloppy and amateurish.
  15. The mixed reaction for the round badge were some feeling it was not bold enough and others not liking the lion facing right. The design itself was not really questioned unlike the latest one which is totally flawed.
  16. Most of us accept there will be difference in taste. i did not like the result of the Purslow badge but at least it was professionally done (by the agency Dragon Rouge) and I was accepting of it. The problem many of us had with the original Lerner badge and now the Heck badge is they clearly have design flaws that leads one to believe they were not professionally done (probably dictated to an in house graphic designer instead - who would likely not have a comprehensive background in branding or merchandising). That is utter incompetence for a badge that will projected across the globe and on thousands of pieces of merchandise. one other note - Ive seen some utter nonsense online by defenders of Heck that this logo was designed with the Asian audiences in mind, etc. - thus the golden lion…I am on several Asian Villa chat groups and the leaked logo has been universally panned in those groups.
  17. Worrying if this is the badge. No way a proper design firm would come up with this. Would mean it was put together by Heck and Co - a sign of utter incompetence.
  18. My family is coming over from California and I have hospitality for Sheffield United and Burnley matches and I was surprised how easy it was to secure. I did reserve it 3-4 months in advance - so both our experiences could be true.
  19. I like the 150 mark. It's something different and looks traditional. I am guessing it will share the kit with the new badge, thus you need it to be something complimentary.
  20. My guess is that the hospitality packages (beyond the TV and LG) are not quite selling as they had hoped and stadium expansion only really makes FINANCIAL sense if you can bring in big time hospitality dollars.
  21. Moreno has looked lively but in reality is playing poorly. Cash offers little as a wingback. Hope to see Bailey in soon.
  22. This is how Cameron Archer comes across at Sheffield United - a step slow and lacking physicality. Premier League is a different level.
  23. Both Eze and Olise came from weak Championship sides
