#21 Trinity Kid Academy New Members 4 posts 0 warning points Posted Today, 07:41 PM I haven't renewed since Mcleish was installed as manager. I'd previously been a sth for the last 10 years. I was disgusted with the the board/ owner not listening to the fans with regard to the appointment. Similar to above, I've really missed being there when we had obviously played well. At those times I'm usually there the next home game, only to see us get done 3-0 by Everton, Wigan West Ham ect. I'll tell you this now, as much as I know we had to go through some pain to get our finances in order, what RL demanded of the villa faithful whilst giving precious little back is disgusting. Two winter transfer windows in and in real need of investment and.....nothing. You get to every home game and suck up the pathetic performances ..... Randy nowhere to be seen! You've just witnessed a dire performance yet again and the next day the ticket office are on the phone asking for another £25-40 to see the same next week. How many years has this gone on for?! It's taking the Proverbial! Every home game 36,000 turn up. Unbelievable. It's great support it really is. Well I'll tell you what I think. I think that unless we get some words of real assurance from the RL or PF then I'd say stuff'em! All they have to do is be honest and tell us what the plan is in detail. What will be available to the manager in the summer? And all this talk of a new contract has to stop. He hasn't proved yet that he can get us playing well consistently for 90 minutes of a single game! It's about time we held the club to ransom until they speak with purpose,clarity and with a definite shared vision. Rant over.

Well if he gets £20 million for next summer the I imagine the first £4-7 million will be spent trying to get Bertrand in on a full contract. That'll then leave just enough for maybe two more, assuming Benteke stays, which I think he will.

My first post/reply here but I saw this article in Bleacher. I think it says all that I would say but much better on the subject. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1947632-why-aston-villa-are-right-to-extend-paul-lamberts-deal-despite-fan-unrest?

I've been reading Villa Talk for over 5 years! Always very interesting reading but seems to be a lot of bickering of late. I was a season ticket holder for 10 years from the last of the 'Gregory' seasons. A change in personal circumstances means I can't renew these days. I don't care for Villa-snobbery.... I'm a bigger villa fan than you nonsense! All that matters is that we all love the Villa deeply all else we probably wouldn't be on here. I've spent hours, days, weeks and months reading whatever the latest is about the Villa and I like most of you am trying to find hope in these pages than our great club will rise to its feet once again, shedding its vulnerabilities and roar its presence across the land again.
