    There was an appearance of Kenneth, who I thought you were looking for earlier Jim.
  4. DaveAV1

    Along with proper brown leather lace up balls and proper black boots, the game’s gone I tell you!! Before you know it we’ll be kicking off at all sorts of times but never 3pm on a Saturday!!! There’ll be goalies and centre halves in white boots next!! And girls running the line!!! Heaven preserve us!! The game’s gone!!!!!!!

    Hard to disagree with this Chris. It’s unfortunate that we had such an important league match immediately after and before big European matches but we can’t change that, slumps after European matches aren’t uncommon for a lot of teams so as previously mentioned perhaps the CL is a bit early for us at the moment?

    I generally agree with this, steady progress will ultimately serve us better. It’s only the corrupt way that the PL is run that gives the financial but not sporting benefits of qualifying for the CL.

    Well people are usually biased towards their own team!
  9. DaveAV1
    That sounds very balanced and reasonable, I’m not sure you’ll be very welcome here!!

    Scouserpool probably
  11. DaveAV1
    To us?
  12. DaveAV1
    We finish fourth and Man U/Spurs fifth so it’s all good!!
  13. DaveAV1
    Yes but ours are nothing compared with Liverpool and Spurs, I heard that on the BBC and straight from the mouth of the actual manager of Liverpool, so it must be true!!!

    Someone hold Mr Withe’s pint for him and young Nigel’s. UTV !!!!!

    You’d assume that’s exactly why Heck has been brought in
  16. DaveAV1
    Almost certainly as part of the Scouse cartel that was operating then. Thankfully that has now largely gone and hopefully no further long term bombs are ticking away.

    Clément Lenglet

    DaveAV1 replied to Tom13's topic in Villa Talk

    Depends on the length of their contracts too. Has Shay Given left yet??

    I’d say you’re right but there’s definitely a plsyer in there and Unai is the man to develop him, undoubtedly. He’ll bring out his potential and we’ll have a bargain on out hands in the not too distant future. Hopefully he can help us to the top 4 and to win the Ueropa Conference this season!!! UTV!!!!

    Now that gives me a warm excited feeling on a Monday morning!! Or any morning for that matter!! UTV!!!

    SHA say hi.

    In this context it shouldn’t be forgotten, that in 1981 and in 1982 two of our probsbly biggest if not definitely biggest stars of all time, ie. Andy Gray through moving on and Brian Little through injury were no longer playing for us but things turned out quite well in the end, a bit nervy at times perhaps but we got there in the end. UTV!!!

    It’s a classic chicken and egg situation. We need a good team to sell the project but we need structure to exploit the product to increase the income, ok we have rich and savy owners to help euth the infrastructure but we’re not allowed to spend on the product, football, to justify the infrastructure so we have to think outside the box to some extent and I think that’s what Chris Heck has been brought in for to see the club and the football business in general through different eyes. When our owners started they needed an experienced English football executive to steady what was a rudderless ship and run us like a proper premier league football club and do bsck then Christian Purslow was just right for the job but time has passed and the club has moved on at a fairly rapid pace, certainly on the pitch, thanks to the appointment of Unai and now the football business needs have changed in regards to firstly what we need but also what is possible. I’m an older fan and largely due to no longer living in the area I don’t get to games very often anymore so my needs/desires have also changed but ultimately I want what’s best for The Villa and to see us win lots of games and silverware as I’m sure most of you do too. UTV!!! P. S. It was my 61st birthday yesterday so a late birthday present from our wonderful team this evening would be very welcome! Please if it’s not too much to ask? I’m not gready, just a five or six goal difference victory with no injury problems and if there are any higher powered bodies listening then if you could spare a hammering for Spurs and Man U too…….?

    I think it shows that the money isn’t in the traditional revenue streams, such as bums on seats, shirt sales etc and we have to be more clever than that eith sponsorships and TV revenue etc. Which I’m sure is one of the reasons there has been a shift in senior, none football, oersonel. We have to move with the times and meet fire with fire, outside of the box thinking which we may not understand fully or be comfortable with. Ultimately winning football matches is still important though and will remain our goal for lots of reasons both emotionally and financially UTV!!!
