  1. Who are these current staff that these supposedly reputable people have spoken to ? Big deal that self publicising Ty Bracey knows some people within the corridors of VP that back up the allegations. Nothing to show the person(s) he’s spoken to are not part of the problem and feel aggrieved. Fact is Heck was in London yesterday which says more than anything IMO. Any credible malpractice allegations he’d be suspended pending formal external investigations. Also not one media outlet has run with it and it’s pretty **** big news. The longer the club stay silent the more obvious to me it’s a load of BS by some disgruntled underperforming staff who rather than formally raise this chose Twitter anonymously to spout what appears to be unsustainable lies to smear Heck & Hatton.
  2. Don’t think he’d be overtly involved but maybe whispering and stoking in the shadows. As I said pretty damming article about both from the Independent. Is Paul Tyrell still a Villa employee ?
  3. After doing some reading on the matter he may be right…. Heck & Hatton would’ve been suspended by now if there was any evidence to back out the allegations IMO. Does read like an ego driven smear campaign. Purslow was getting demoted which would’ve hurt him. If the club & media silence continues then think we can assume it’s a lot of false allegations by a wounded minority.
  4. No chance we will look to extend the Trinity Road stand by squaring off the upper tier as the build costs would be huge for limited return and by nature these seats would be the least desirable. Maybe 30-50 years from now if we’re still locked into Villa park perhaps they look to add another tier like at Man Utd to the stand / rebuild completely. We had permission to extend part of the trinity highlighted to extend the corporate areas but this was dropped with the updated plans for the new North Stand for some reason.
  5. So are you now thinking our seasons isn’t a write off due to our lack of January business which according to you last week it was ?
  6. So club still quiet and no one has been suspended given the serious nature of the allegations you’d expect action to have been taken by now surley ?!
  7. I’m sure NSWE will act with haste if required and also speak out on the matter sooner than later. Based on reports Heck was picked out by Edens who would’ve done full due diligence so it is surprising and with the nature of this I’m gunna give it a few more days before forming an opinion on the matter.
  8. The first … Cannot see us paying £80 mill release clause and unsure if he’s worth that outlay for us - great player but too much £££ and too high a risk
  9. Our name has been thrown in with others as looking at Paqueta in the summer
  10. Also why would the NEC support the development of a rival multi use entertainment venue on their doorstep.
  11. @burchy Joao Neves will cost close to €100mill so scrap that name sadly… Cannot see Citeh parting with Perrone and Redondo is off to Inter Miami so two other ones to cross off.
  12. The goal post roof supports for the Holte & North stands are to be turned into giant coke bottles !
  13. Gonna need to spend big now on a new DM this summer to plug the huge Kamara gap in midfield… I wonder if they’ll go youth option or more experienced now?
  14. See him going to a Saudi team in the summer.
  15. Yep you’re right, think it is the GA+ zone … It’s just shows what is on offer without taking away from GA fans like the Terrace View did and what we’re up against.
  16. So the New Anfield Road End was fully opened today and this is what other teams are offering in terms of concourses and finishes… We get painted breeze-blocks, or the sterile Lower Grounds
  17. The biggest issue with Villa park is making the Witton Lane stand fit for purpose. The north stand is easy given the space behind. Been thinking of what they could do long term to replace it, two options being a stand similar to the old Highbury North Bank with a big second tier overhang or Portland timbers main stand stacked tiers.
  18. To make a new stadium financially viable it would need to be a true multi use venue used for 300 odd days a year. I’ve seen some suggest Birmingham airport as an option but can’t see how the owners of the NEC would permit a rival venue being built so close. If we did then it would have to have a retractable roof and pitch. Birmingham desperately needs to keep up with London & Manchester to attract big events or will be left out. It’s a nice idea but sadly cannot see a new stadium being built in my lifetime.
  19. Half time substitutes don’t count towards the permitted 3 windows so still time for Rogers Debut goal
  20. Here’s hoping a Turkish team comes in for Olsen and poss Chambers before their window slams shut …
  21. We've lost 5 league games out of 22 played so far this season … And won one less than Citeh, Plop and Arsenal …
  22. So (almost) 3 signings with huge potential sewed up to hopefully add depth to three problem positions for less than the cost of around £16mill before add ons … Another great transfer window
  23. No doubt a v.bad result and poor performance so far … but we bounced back from the away game and we will do again and this game won’t define our season. We will finish where we deserve to over 38 games and never expected us to stay in the top 4 until the end but we will be there or thereabouts.
