Oh jesus have some patience and see what happens by the end of August.

Oh yea Gent if we don't spend more per player and cut down the number of players being brought serious questions would need to be answered its just when you said 3 x 12 million I was like WTF 36m? I think now

Gent... are you on drugs? were not going to get that kind of budget at all. Come on you know that already.

As for where money would go for sponsorship of the stadium, it can only go to one place and that is to AVFC, if that means Lerner doesn't have to add 15m to the club a year out of his own pocket because the club generates it, the move is still the right one.

I'll be delighted if we sell the naming rights to the ground, every year we don't do it we throw money down the drain.

I don't see this second bite at the mass spending cherry myself, I don't see where the motivation is for it from the owner,

I think its much more likely we start to buy 2/3 players for 5 to 8 million each per year and do a slow build perhaps once we have gone through a handful of years like that if the progression is still there then maybe he will try it again.

I don't want to be a Debbie downer but like I said I just don't see the sense in it for the owner

Now that's a real question Sam and that is the one thing I couldn't tell you with good conscience that I feel I am 95% sure on.

BJ I'm not debating my last post please look up the figures for yourself.

That's the point, it hasn't changed BJ managers have been given roughly the same amount every year as for wages no one knows what our budget is realistically as we have brought cheap young players why would we pay them more than what they are worth?

Your overly negative when the evidence shows what you would be 'more behind' is exactly the plan for next season and always has been since Lambert came here.

I dislike the badge too, prefer the retro one

Not much as it isn't a lot of money.

It might be time to stop moaning about what's gone on and start thinking about the rest of this season and the future.

What do you think of the apparent plan for the next few years?

No point going on about the past anymore

You would assume any players sold will add to funds, as for wages you me or anyone else has no idea Kendrick said they are decided player by player.

Check out the Birmingham mail for some comments Matt Kendrick made today on the villa sale puts to bed so many comments on here...

Expect 20m again next summer

Expect it to go on 2/3 signings

We tried to purchase a much better player than Hoolahan in January.

Naming rights to help fund a new north stand.

Which brings me back to the question I have asked three times in the last 24 hours.

What are we debating?

KSV still budgets are given yearly if he wants an attacking midfielder he buys out of that budget it really is that simple.

TRO he has 3 in 3 now so the beast may be back, I'm not so sure he doesn't look unplayable like he did this time last year. If he finds form between now and may + has a good world cup a money spinner he will be if he doesn't he will be here next year I think.

Ash I meant net spend 15-20m just like he has averaged throughout his ownership, why people think he wont allow the same next summer all of a sudden is a mystery to me.

As a note to KSV what does it matter what is allowed in the January afterwards? Budgets are given yearly or in our case season by season.

For all we know he is going to invest bigger and the plans for the north stand to go ahead if real are to house all these fans that want to sit in our stadium at 50 quid a pop watching champions league football lol

It's all conjecture.

What are we debating?

Pictures before I agree thetrees lol

Anyone else having problems with posting links? I've not been able to quote on these site for months now as well :/

.

What 8 million? Are you a marketing expert?

Hey if were talking about dreams I'd like a stadium in the city centre away from ah hem lovely Aston.

Your right gent but that would and should be up to the owner.
