    If Slippy thinks this signing will appease the fans calling for his head, he's got another thing coming...

    Zero running.

    I refuse to believe that Lange and NSWE are approving / bankrolling a deadline day move for Moura. There's just no way. If I'm wrong, they're really not half as clever as I thought.

    Levy, for all that he is a despicable prick, has done a fantastic job at convincing the world Spurs are a huge club. He has raised their profile from being frankly irrelevant outside North London to being thought of as major players. They have the best stadium in the league and will probably win silverware under Conte. Can't really compare him to Purslow, who in 4 years at Villa hasn't raised our profile one iota. We are the same size club as the one that got relegated. I will concede that he is a better CEO than the one we had at that point, but he's hardly brought us on leaps and bounds. 4 years might not be long but you'd want to see signs of progress in that time. I don't see any signs that we are growing as a club. North Stand redevelopment is great and all, but it only keeps us "on par" in terms of being an average Premier League outfit and has needed work for decades. With the backing of our current owners, any CEO at all would be looking to expand the stadium right now, it's the obvious choice. He's yet to deliver anything really surprising or brilliant in a commercial or business sense, and he's had 4 years with huge backing to do it, meanwhile he's been insinuating himself into the footballing side of things and making crap decisions while doing so. I don't see why we'd be eager to keep him.

    But lazy

    Refreshing NewsNow every 5 mins wondering how he's still here Get it done Villa.

    Yeah, strangely neither of them have amounted to much. They were such good leaders on the pitch, with such defensive nous, I'd have thought they'd make good coaches, if not managers. Apparently not. Shame really. Though understand it's not for everyone either.

    SURELY it has reached the owners and Purslow/Lange by this point that a majority of fans want him gone.
  9. est1874
    Yes! Halcyon days. And then we signed Mathieu Berson and Eric Djemba-Djemba and that was the end of that brief bump.

    Swedish - Olof Mellberg Danish - Martin Laursen

    Never warmed to Purslow and like him even less now.
  12. est1874
    I would imagine the owners are highly reluctant to sign off on big money signings for a manager who's on extremely thin ice.

    Never let the truth get in the way of a good Tweet mate.

    Why would anyone, by that logic? It's not like he's pulling up trees at Wolves. Pretty sure many said Coutinho would never consider us, then he signed. I wouldn't have expected Everton captain Digne to join us either, but he did. Ings is another that surprised me. People are talking about Tielemans and Diallo. Perhaps they're out of teach too, but Neves is honestly no further out of reach.
  15. est1874
    Ideal scenario tbh.
  16. est1874
    We should go in for Ruben Neves.

    Access was Denayed.

    I don't see Poch wanting to come here under any circumstances tbh. Would be amazing though.
  19. est1874
    I'd have Potter in a heartbeat, I think he'd come here too. But we'd need to act very fast and give him certain assurances about players he might want to bring with him/buy in January. With Purslow's love for all things Slippy, I can't see us having put out the feelers yet, and we're risking a situation where Brighton are miles ahead of us in the table. At which point, he probably won't want to give that up for us.

    A bit like getting a Valentine's card from your mum, and just as useless and embarrassing in every way
  21. est1874
    Absolutely despise the fact that a club like West Ham are out there signing Paqueta and we're here ONCE AGAIN in a state of chaos debating who the next manager should be. FFS get the Scouse clown sacked and get lining up the new boss ASAP Villa.
  22. est1874
    You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
  23. est1874
    It's a disgrace he's still in charge.
  24. est1874
    Indeed. Chelsea are not in a good way this season. They will struggle for top 4.
  25. est1874
    I'm just hoping there's been some mixup and Stevie was talking about how excited he is to buy a few seasons' worth of Dawson's Creek to watch after he gets his P45.
