I think after Swansea. I am so confused! I just wish a magician would come and fix our club. We don't need a magician in my opinion we just need a better manager with a clear vision and who sticks by it. I think he has never recovered from our thrashing st Southampton and maybe never will. We need a new owner for sure , but for that to happen we need a viable purchaser to step up. That's why I won't blame Lerner for this seasons wows. Previous seasons yes.

plastic man I wouldn't go to the mods behind your back and accuse you of posting for effect I'll call you out on her so you can see. FairPlay for admitting the mistake in your post though. I admire that. I don't want to continue to debate you as that isn't fair. Let's keep it to our, in my own opinion our out of depth ineffectual manager. UTV

I resent that. I'm just as much a Villa fan as anyone. I don't especially "support" Tim. I just don't like what I consider the unwise move to change managers at this time. And that horrendously extremist position is apparently a kind of trolling now. EDIT: Oh, I see you've posted the troll art. Nice. can you blame me though there are ways and means to get points across in a considered manner but you seem to be intent on being provacative for effect. How has Tim been put in an impossible position ? How did you come to the conclusion that most supporters think that? And how after 8 games with ineffective substitutions and dubious selections with no apparent direction from Tim do you think it's the players not the manager who isn't up for the job ?

Are you related to Tim ? You seem to support the manager more than the team. I don't mean to single you out as we are entitled to different views but come on. Seriously

Ooops sorry missed that ( had a day off villatalk ) bet it will be interesting reading.

Still 90 points available so I'm not worried yet about relegation. We have half a new squad, most with no prem experience with potentially the wrong manager in charge but only 8 games in so luckily we have plenty of time to turn things around. With Fox calling the shots rather than Faulkner and the riches at stake I don't think Tim will be around much longer if his excuses and our poor form continue. Surely with the right man in charge our squad can muster 40+ plus points ?

For me it smacks of him getting his excuses out there as he knows the end is nigh. He is trying to salvage his reputation with the Not my sigingings not my fault excuse. Self preservation. Gunna throw a grenade out there as no game to moan about. O'neil back job share with Ireland till the summer ?? Personally I wouldn't want him near the club ever again, but given our position, lack of obvious candidates I'm interested in what peeps thoughts would be.

Wilson is classed as a 'wonderkid' on FM15. Granted it is just a computer game but they do extensive research on player attributes which sky sports news have even been using to compare players this window. Sign him up ! (hopefully with a clause to buy) Ayew, Wilson, Gestede, Oulare with Sinclair in support would give us a good range of options, however all unproven bar Sinclair so could go tots up

Oulare & Lescott would round the window off nicely. Don't know much about Wilson is he supposed to be the next big thing? Room for him and Oulare or is that being greedy ?

Could turn out to be an inspired signing, and great for someone like Easah Suliman to learn from for 2 the next two seasons or so. Rather Suliman learned from Lescott rather than Clark to be perfectly honest.

Someone I was talking to last night suggested it would be a good thing to spend a proportion if next seasons TV money now and go for it this summer as the Euro to pound ratio is massivley in our favour at the moment and also before prices inevitably rocket when the extra Sky millions from the latest Tv deal. If we didn't do that the pot must be almost empty if not already after Adama Traore. I feel we are just one one or two short still. Hopefully we can somehow sell all of the following: Senderos, Bennett, Richardson, N'zogbia, Kozak, possibly Gil to create some funds and try for Lescott and to continue the dream summer Embolo or Oulare. Would love Praet also. Berahino is probabally a step too far this summer, hope he stays does ok and we can try for him next summer.

Is this an open question to debate or a juicy bit of ITK?

Could whispers be alluding to Rafael I wonder ? Not sure how legit this is but he also says we are still almost £7 mill in profit on our dealings so far.

Absolutely loved that track suit still able to rock mine from time to time ( I was a fat child ) CLASSIC !

According to the 20+ ITK's over on TBAR it's a consortium of Howard Hodgson backed by Chinese money with a former villa player or Larry Ellison. Mmmm It would just our luck that with FFP potentially being slackened we get new buyers who want to grow organically and refuse to splurge £100mill this summer. Yay ?!

Yes please to................. Horn Robertson Trippier Caulker Luongo Cleverley Sinclair Goal scorer ! No thanks to Lowton Bennett Luna Richardson Vlaar Sylla Tonev Weimann/agbonlahor or both

I reckon it's tony parkes decision to replace Guzan, he seems to be Sherwood's most trusted lieutenant on match day, ex GK himself. Plus tony cotton now our dedicated gk scout I think it's goodbye brad.

Freudian slip or auto correct not sure which one

Interesting reading @Prof_Chadwick twitter feed from April 30th regarding a potential Chinese takeaway and his opinions on what it could mean for us. https://mobile.twitter.com/Prof_Chadwick

I was told and it may be bollox but it wasn't all about a vanity project for Lerner ( though I'm sure part of it was ) was to do with regaining copyright protection against people producing knock off gear with the club crest on. Arsenal changed the direction of the cannon due to this I seem to recall reading somewhere. I love the old round badge but I don't mind the new one either, other than the fact it looks like the lion is holding a sparkler. My old housemates used permanent marker to draw a line on all my shirts the bastards.

Very interested to see how much and whom tom fox can get to replace Dafabet this summer. Faulkner for all of his purported faults in my view did extremely well given our position to get £8mill and I expect a big increase for next season. What id like to see is a multi year deal rather than the current 2 year cycle. And as tom fix commented on he wants a sponsorship based on aston villa and our history rather than just sponsoring a prem team. With players leaving, hopefully at least a £4mill increase on our current shirt sponsorship and secondary sponsorship there could be great scope to increase the quality of the squad all within the bull€#|+ FFP rules

Nice vague link. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3067643/Southampton-rival-Manchester-City-signing-Groningen-forward-Albert-Rusnak.html Sportsmail revealed last week how City had been scouting Rusnak, despite only selling him permanently in January. Rusnak, who joined City as a 16-year-old, qualifies as a homegrown player. Newcastle, Swansea and Aston Villa also watching developments.
