villa have spent 30 million on players since randy lerner came in...
a drop in the ocean towards the problems created by the previous regime, but its an excellent start in the 11 months since the club changed hands...
on top of this, we have also spent 13 million on some of the best training facilities in the world.. not to mention millions around the stadium, and a huge chunk of cash rebuilding the holte hotel into a pub for fans simply for the reason to give the fans a decent local pub and to keep heretige and tradition alive...
which shows to me that randy lerner is in it for the long haul...
while its been mentioned that we havent attracted the type of quality that have spoken about, and i agree we havent and im bitterly disapointed at the harewood signing, but i can see the logic behind it....
but the overall signs are positive we can attract better players in the future as we progress along...
i always understood the fact that we could only really build slowly unless we threw money around like confetti on wages, fees, etc, and personally, i would rather we spent money on the structure of the club in the first instance, to allow us to sustain any progression we make...
thus keeping the longevity of any progression we make and make us a more attractive proposition for the "big name" players in the future....
so all in all, i am delighted with the way the club is being run and would not swap our owner and board for all the tea in china and im still as positive as ever under the new regime...
