General,
I have to echo Peter's concerns. The club by making the statment that the Barry Liverpool deal is dead and that Barry would be staying a Villa player, only for MON to say today that if Liverpool come up with the money then Barry can join Liverpool, quite frankly makes the club looks foolish and extremely amateur in its approach. Is this the way a club with ambitions of being in the top 4 really behave?
I think with the comments that you have made on numerous occasions stating that we do not have to sell to buy, then I feel that the club really has to pull its fingers out now and do what ever it takes to get the players into the club that MON needs.
Please do not forget that Villa supporters have suffered for years with a certain chairman constantly lying to its fans. Mr Lerner took over the club and made quite a few impressive statements that invigorated the Villa faithful, but all I can say is that talk is cheap. Yes you completed the work on Bodymoor Heath and yes you renovated a pub, but its on the pitch that really matters.
Regards
Carl.
