Interesting article on FFP http://www.espnfc.co.uk/blog/marcotti-musings/62/post/2456828/financial-fair-play-and-understanding-plantini-changes

I thought there was a problem with the ground water rising in the Witton area due to the closing down of the heavy industry, brewers and HP. Maybe it going to be a swimming pool!

Cream rises to the top thats why we are near the bottom, lack of quality through the team. Who in our team would get into Spurs team yesterday

Poor management at Villa has left us with a very poor quality side that look like we will go down unless we buy some quality Pl players in January

Very poor not up to PL quality

Lacks Pl quality as does our midfield.

I was pleased with the new signings and felt positive, but since then I have yet to hear an ex-player or suppose expert on Sky (Merson etc) that does not think we will be going down or very close due to the lack of experienced PL players. This has started to worry me. As we are stuck with what we have got we must bite our lip and give them 100% support and cut out the negatve vibes

Fox Soccer says he is not coming (for now)

How can an email be handled better? If AVTV got the new codes out before cutting you off

Received mine today, could have been handled better

Has anyone else had their season ticket free subscription to AVTV turned off? Have been told by Aston Villa that it will be the end of the month before new codes are issued. This means any new player's interviews, any words of wisdom from the management (unlikely) will be lost on season ticket holders.

Mervyn King is Governor of the Bank of England he must have a few quid and is a Villa fan

The board I am sure are fully aware of the fans feelings at this time and I fear any protest during this 3 game period will make things worse. Changing the manager at this time will make things worse not better any new man could not alter the teams performance this late on. I now want a change of manager at the end of the season ( I did agree with his appointment but was wrong) but for now we must bite the bullet and get 100% behind the team.

How does Zebra Fiance make money if they pass the monthly repayments onto Villa in the first few months, unless Villa pay them a fee equivalent to interest? Anybody in this field got an answer

General As you may have noted the attendances are DOWN The quality of the team are DOWN The fans faith in the management of Villa are DOWN At the end of the season we are likely to go ????? Tell Randy to invest quickly or pass the batton on to someone who can. Hope you have not caught a chill in that bunker.

Please communicate with us general or should we send out a search party to see if you are trapped in the cellar with the bloke speaking on the PA last Saturday.

Hi General 2 weeks and no comment or answers to the questions on the forum. It appears that you and the so called management of Aston Villa have gone into keep you head down mode. My experience tells me having a bunker mentality never works long term, the management of Aston Villa need to explain the present situation and hope the customers (ie fans) go along with it. Come out of your bunkers speak to all the fans not just the season ticket holders but you must also think what use Villa Park would be with lovely stain glass windows but empty.

The statement made at Fulham press conference by the manager goes against what you have told the fans over last season and before: 1)Villa are not a selling club. I can understand the position when a team pays above the odds for a player but we we have sold our best players over the last three seasons. 2) Randy will back the manager. The manager is now saying we can't even get a loan player unless someone goes out of the door first. THIS IS NOT BACKING THE MANAGER. I have followed the Villa for 50 years from the old 3rd division and I have never felt more let down by the Villa management and I hope Randy sells up and moves out soon before we end up going down the divisions. The present management can blame MON for the high wage bill but surely his spend was being monitored by Randy if not this again shows very poor management which would not being allowed in any company I have worked for. I hope I am wrong with my pessimism and I expect I will keep throwing money down the drain by continue buying season tickets for myself and my family. Lets stop the bull shit Villa are a selling club and we got no money unless we are about to go down (Bents purchase) :cry: :cry:

General We keep hearing that RL has a vision for Aston Villa, what is this vision because at the moment every thing is very negative. (best players leaving, supporters not happy with the new manager) Maybe RL could give us a personal statement telling us were we are going.

Hi General I detest the pooh across the City as much as the next Villa fan but if the board think the Mcleish is the right man you must ignore the fans as we dont have all the facts. We must let the board manage this not the French Revolution were the crowd rules.

General What a mess! The causes are not all the fault of the board but they must take some of the blame. The comments of Luke Young show the uncertainty is effecting the team and will effect the fans/sales of ST after such poor showing at recent games. Act now PS Don't employ that Spainish waiter that did so much to upset the Barry/Villa situation.

The buck stops at the Top Randy Lerner

Hi General As I am sure you are aware Prince William has announced he is getting married next year and as he is a Villa fan and also the happy couple can not make up their mind where to get married plus Villa Park performs the marriage ceremony. Get my drift? Think married in front of the Holt you and the lady (who has to be obeyed) as guests of honour, think of the extra money Villa could make and the shirts you could sell if they are available

Hi General. I was reading yesterday that our new manager had signed his contract, this was on SSN and the BBC and what have we got on the OS ....... 00000. If Villa are trying to increase its income from the OS then I think it must improve on its news coverage and be the FIRST with Villa news.

Hi General I have mentioned this before but the OS always seems to be running second to SSN who had yesterdays press conference with GH on ages before the OS and I did not see reported on the OS the starting date for GH but it was on SSN and in all the papers next day. As we pay quite a bit for this site I would have thought we as Villa fans should be the first to view these interviews.
