  1. Do you not think the remit changed with the takeover? The call for an English manager (was this even quoted from Little or the footballing board?) was when we could be stuck with Lerner, coping with the crap in the squad and feeding of scraps. Some things will be the same, but presuming Dr X is who he says he is then a lot has also changed.
  2. Samuelson is mentioned on that token help/Bestfeed page
  3. Haha, really?!! Yes he's been shit for a while, yes he needs to be replaced, but the main reason we are where we are?
  4. There always seems to be a 'leak' of next seasons fixtures. Rarely are they right come fixture announcement day.
  5. My girlfriends case is just a nuisance more than anything. The women has done it repeated times if you go on to her history. Which just highlights how poorly protected sellers are to the con artists and time wasting buyers.
  6. My girlfriend is always selling stuff on there, but recently she had sold a couple of things, but neither bidders paid for it after winning. One sent a message to say they'd pay after the weekend, but nothing happened. She put a case in after a while for both to say they hadn't paid. The one got back to my gf saying she was out of order not waiting longer. There was a bit of correspondence in which she called my gf a fat bitch and that she was going to call the police
  7. I played nip the squid on Going Live. I was also on National Lottery-winning lines I've also cooked for Robert Plant, as well as some not so mega famous celebrities like Michaela Strachan, Dave Benson-Phillips, Nick Owen, Bob Holness and Glenn Tipton
  8. I thought it was a bit strange. Maybe she took voluntary redundancy? Probably a decent pay off for length of service. I'm no expert on redundancy but if she was forced out, it wouldn't be possible for Villa to have a direct replacement in the same role for legal reasons. Although I guess there are ways around that to a degree.
  9. I'm one of the minority group that thinks he gets a bit too stick (well possibly, depending on circumstances). Some will disagree and it's hard to defend with how bad we were but the players we got in the summer aren't actually that bad and would look better amongst a new group of players. The big question is how much was down to him in relation to deciding what players we needed, and if he is thought we had been successful, because clearly we we missing 2-3 certain types players in the squad which we needed massively.
  10. From the day of the takeover announcement, Pat Murphy has seemed the most informed.
  11. I think the McCormack fee was undisclosed, although quite widely reported to be £11m. So that may be why it wasn't there.
  12. The food in England is better?
  13. Ah you beat me too it, make up for my previous post I'd found a Chinese colleague to translate. Although he was finding it difficult to explain but said pretty much the same as you.
  14. Recently felt not good media talking irresponsiblydegree of Britain personal compared with China.Some people know when the dog young traditionof British media begins, who is a first ancestor? From another online translator
  15. I've followed Nantes as a European team since I was a kid going on Camping holidays to Western France. I wish they played this friendly 20 years ago, would have been an amazing start to my family summer holiday I'll probably go to Bristol Rovers as thats pretty close for me.
  16. Whether it's through these tests or by Villa, I'd like to think the checking of funds goes further than just the money to buy the club. Which I guess, should there be an issue this could be it and not necessarily that the money's not there just the transparency of where it is coming from. Hopefully Dr Xia can put some minds at rest when they speak to him, if it's even necessary.
  17. Previously it was reported as a plan for the future. Now, at least according to the article he's actually in talks to buy a club somewhere.
  18. For some reason for a while now I've been thinking that Comolli might still be happening. Even though it was denied/played down at the time of the takeover announcement. I think Dr Xia has a plan to implement as soon as the takeover is confirmed and it's no coincidence he has mentioned the scouting network. His link just seems a strange one if he had no involvement at all. I've been staring at that changing room pic trying to make out if the number 10 shirt could be Comolli. If it's not him I wouldn't be surprised if it is for someone who will be a director of football or in a similar role.
  19. That tea cup is nearly big enough to be at his theme park.
  20. Attendances were pretty poor everywhere around then weren't they? I was born in 81 so was really only just beginning my Villa love affair around then.
  21. Don't think it's been touched on but in the CNN interview with the bloke, when he asks about the mix up about the five listed companies actually being one. Dr Xia says it was a miscommunication with the language and possibly due to a difference in the business system. He then says they actually control even more than five public companies just indifferent ways. What do you think this means?
  22. You can see that it's possible to pick holes in the case that the Reading situation was all Samuelson's doing. Reading fans naturally are going to want someone to blame and untill now all the info is aimed at blaming Samuelson with no real need to have a fair debate. That's not to say he wasn't to blame or that he doesn't push/cross the legality boundaries.
  23. Same with someone I work with. Although he doesn't moan as much to me because he knows how bad we've been and realises it can be worse.
