    Players hated Beale 

    I don’t know this to be the case but surprised at the lack of good luck instagram posts from the Villa players wishing him well, unless I’ve missed them.

    No option to buy is annoying but it's seldom in the parent clubs interest to include one unless they actively want to sell the player. Especially one with high potential.

    OGS rates him highly.

    £5m loan fee touted but it's sensible business for our current aspirations and injury proneness aside, is a risk free signing.

    Purslow said 'no more development of other clubs talents' which is nice sentiment but sometimes stubborn and impractical when there is a gap that needs filling.

    He's made a point of saying quality time with family and having a Paul Lambert style tour abroad. So i doubt he has a job lined up, what would be the point of saying it otherwise?

    Like him or not, he's played an important role in our recovery to this point.

    Trincão is the positive side of being so closely linked to Jorge Mendes and the option to by is good business from Wolves. He does look terrific.

    It would rankle with me being such a blatant part of the food chain, and though technically everyone outside of the top 6 is, in Wolves’ position you can’t fend off interest like Palace did with Zaha for example, because that is the Mendes roulette. I would say Wolves are in a better position than Palace in terms of growth though.

    I think in this case Barcelona are happy to break even on the fee paid and so everyone is happy.

    You've got all of our rivals, the west midland lot, Newcastle, Leeds, West ham and the other weirdos we've picked up along the way, probably chuck Norwich in too with the Ipswich link 

    You've got the fans of players who won't be starting, again wolves, Brighton, again Leeds because they seemingly have a weird thing for white even though he was only a loan player for them, utd, Burnley, Everton 

    You've then got what I think you're suggesting which is a contingent of the boo boys who will see Tyrone as a target for it because he's a vocal leader and advocate for it 

    Then you've got the "wheres mings? What mistake did he make? Konsa is better" contingent of our own fans 

    He's swimming against the tide that's for sure 

    I'd seen the 'dark arts' article and the comments/tweets hating on him are unbelievable. Thug,cheat,liability etc

    I came here to ask why and you've summed it up perfectly. Thank you.

    Football is a faster paced game now, defenders will get caught out and make mistakes but Mings gets a harder ride than your average.

    His interview after the game was incredible. Full of praise for those in front of him.

    A natural leader, a great goalkeeper and an incredible signing. 

    It's nice to see us being run properly with every decision being thoroughly thought out. 

    This one in particular as it turns out, was a no brainer.

    Playing on an original PS4 (It's still going, God bless it).

    It feels like when you're playing a game on a PC just not powerful enough to handle it. 1.04 doesn't help much.

    It's poor when it's been released as a game capable of being played on a PS4. The free upgrade to a PS5 version makes it slightly more palatable...

    My lasting memory will be the ball through for Wesley's first goal for us v Everton. It was a thing of beauty.

     A very nice footballer but seems to lack a bit of pace and intensity.

    ‘News’ nowadays is getting worse than I ever thought it would. These websites are now just scouring podcasts, forums, Twitter etc.. and repeating anything that’s said. All of a sudden an opinion is now news. 
     

    I like James Rushton, but he’s only just started working in sports journalism. He’s featured on a few of Kendrick and Rollason’s podcasts and written some articles for the Mail and one or two other papers. He’s just giving his opinion as a Villa fan whilst talking with mates, as he’s done for years. Why is this newsworthy? 

    The same goes for the clickbait headlines from the mail like ‘fans go crazy for new signing’, which is just the result of someone scrolling through Twitter quoting tweets from randoms.

    It's always been the same...

    I was being slightly facetious but I don't think he is making a rod for his own back. Any fan that turns around in 10 years or so and says "You lying **** Dr X, you said we'd be like Real Madrid" are just daft.

    Thankfully I don't think anyone will hold him to those sorts of words.

    Fair shout and in fairness i do think it's going to an all or nothing thing for him.

    He's not going to stick around and do a Steve Morgan at Wolves.

    This group of players will never fit in with Remi's vision of how a football team should function.

    Even with 100% effort and application it's painful watching them move the ball about slowly and not able to turn possession into chances.

    We haven't got the players composed enough to move the ball quickly under pressure.

    Eventually we get forced into a mistake.

    The situation is a complete joke. Such a pathetic club it's unbelievable.

    Still honestly believe that this is just a taste of what's to come. 

    That said, would I be disappointed if a manager with 1 win to his name walked out? Probably not.

    It's a results business of that there is no doubt.

    But........

    has he been given a fair chance with the a squad pre assembled to suit another manager with a completely different tactical set up?

    One thing about Remi that I like more than anything is that he doesn't seem to take any shit. He stands up for himself, the players and the fans. He isn't scared to call the board out and ask what is going on.

    He isn't a rabbit in the headlights out of his depth like Lambert, and he isn't a slippery chancer who likes to drop stories into the press to maintain his own image at the expense of the club like Sherwood.

    He's the type of bloke you want running the football side of the club and he hasn't be backed one iota. He's been let down big time.
