  1. Be the ultimate happy ending story. Villa go to brink of bankruptcy to fund a promotion bid - the following season we achieve promotion on a shoestring with Big Sam
  2. Im calling BS on this rumour (in the sense I don't think it will happen) - He is clearly 2nd choice for leeds -He is nothing like the first choice manager - Raneiri is also in the frame for leeds and would be more a 'fit' if the Beisa guy is first choice -Think this has been leaked to press to hurry Beisa along if a genuine approach - leeds must also have got wind that Xia isn't about to sack Bruce.
  3. Leeds approach Bruce. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/06/08/leeds-united-approach-aston-villas-steve-bruce-interest-managerial/ leeds United have taken advantage of the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Aston Villa’s financial predicament by moving to see whether manager Steve Bruce is interested in a switch to Elland Road.

    Steve Round

    Not been a fan of him to date. I do think with Wyness and Bruce he wash pushed into a nothing role. However now it would seem he has the job he always wanted - lets hope he is good and can rebuilt a vibrant young villa side

    Going Under ?

    Perhaps he was the unarmed player ?

    Turned down £8m from Brighton for Chester. Good to get that in the news ....ergo we are not that desparate.
  7. Lets wait and see. The problem now who comes in and takes us on with that debt ? - Finance companies at a big rate of interest...
  8. Sorry but the theme park idea is on the Recon web site. (Still and in English) As is the millennium films purchase announcement (which never happened) Its all front.
  9. The problem I have is what is recon ? And where are these loans coming from - are we effectively owned or in debt to a Chinese bank and/or paying them massive amounts of interest on massive amounts borrowed ? - If so thats a doomsday scenario - (remember there weren't many takers @ £60m for a newly relegated club with parachute payments to come). I scoffed at Collymores fan buy out option a couple of days back - but if the the above is true, unfeasible as it is that might be the only route back

    Is that the new club crest ?

    Absolutely this ... Problem is we on the phone to Burnley asking them to hurry up with the westwood money. So the word is out there. 2 things to watch:- Do the wages get paid end of this month How we react to the spurs £15m bid for Grealish.

    patent it - you could be our saviour !
  14. To a degree - he needs to stabilise the club before selling it - assuming it is his to sell.

    Is the unarmed player our new goalie ? - we can't afford one with arms ?
  16. Big test - if we grab spurs £15m as quick as we can - we know we are still in deep shite.....if we say no ....it means we can afford to wait and the club isn't being run hand to mouth. I have a feeling Everton may come in - they have just appointed MDS - and the fans are clamouring for a more attractive style of play (jeez the problems at Everton eh ?)

    It wasn't really a cup final either - we were only there because we failed to get a top 2 place. - No way should be buying once worn suits for players earning £60k pw
  18. Its not ideal - the only good to come out of it - is that we don't need cash right now. So we can tell Spurs 'no' to £15m for Grealish for example.

    Possibly the most sensible bit of business in the last 10 years.

    We are totally and utterly screwed I don't see a way back from this - all good things come to end great times - but things chance. My gran kids will watch tv on cable or over the web and support Chelsea or Man city - Supporting a local team will be something you did in the olden times - a bit like using a public telephone box Tell me I am wrong ?
  21. FFS - reading this thread in reverse - i thought the winding up order had been issued !!!! - (tell me it hasn't)
  22. £15m bid incoming from spurs if you beleive what you read. If the finances are sorted we reject that - if we need it to pay next months wages we bite there hand off - a telling moment
