Most of the mega bucks from the Champions League comes from sources other than the gate receipts. You could close the ground completely and still rake in millions.

Depends how much money you want to throw at it. Everything has its price.

Actually, the only thing historic about Villa Park now, is the site. There isn’t a stand older than the 1970s. I’ve been going since the 1960s and there’s nothing of the old Villa Park left. If we ever did move into a mega stadium, near the centre of the city, I’d be all for it. It’s important to value a clubs history, just don’t frustrate the potential of the club with it.

Before the advent of all seater stadiums, Villa Park frequently had attendances North of 50,000. I personally was in a crowd of 62,000. It really isn’t a deal breaker.

He may well be. Just have to show the same patience with Diaby that we have with Leon.

We attack at a stroll. Need to attack with pace, move the ball quicker from the back.

We are shit in front of goal. If we’d taken our chances, that poxy goal wouldn’t matter.

We have been poor in front of goal.

A big part of getting top players , even average ones to sign, is taking them on a tour of a clubs facilities. Bodymoor Heath always elicits positive vibes from our signings. Imagine taking a player around that sorry excuse for a training ground. I can hear it now “ I can see where you store the garden furniture and lawnmower, but where am I supposed to change and relax ?”

Monbiot was bang on the money. It’s all a smokescreen to take peoples attention away from the shit show this country has become with these clowns in charge.

Looks like a big garden shed with a dartboard in it. Tin pot facilities.

Saw that inbred in Tescos many years ago, just after that photo was taken. My missus just turned to me and said “don’t”.

Not even the Rwanda bank account. How much of this money will end up in Rwandan politicians accounts.

Globally the broadcast revenue for PL games is included in the money negotiated with Sky. If clubs negotiate their revenue individually through ppv. The gap in revenue between Liverpool and Man Utd and the rest, would be huge.They have, potentially millions of subscribers in South East Asia alone. Possibly hundreds of millions. At the moment clubs cannot negotiate their own deals in isolation. Long May it remain so.

That’s exactly what the so called big six want. Because they will ultimately run their own pay per view and absolutely rake it in. The gap in finance between them and the rest would be immense. So no thanks.

The Tories hate the BBC, so they must be doing something right. Take a look at Talk TV or GB News, and then realise how good the BBC is, warts and all.

Andy Lochhead was a real old fashioned bruiser. Good in the air, a great target man, and made of granite.
-
If he was at Liverpool, Man City, Spurs, Arsenal etc he’d be binned off. These are the clubs we’re in competition with now. It’s a ruthless game, no room for sentiment. He had a serious injury in Italy, don’t think he’s ever reached the heights he was at prior to that. He was worth a punt, sometimes they come off, sometimes they don’t.

The FA Cup is broadcast to more than 100 countries. 500,000,000 people watched the Final in 2023.
-
Some Villa fans have never experienced winning a major Cup. Well in my lifetime we’ve won eight, and I was at six of those. No qualification for a tournament we might, or might not go on to win will ever come close to actually seeing our club lifting silverware. Would just love to parade the FA Cup around the City centre. Doubt the noses would be drinking in town that day

You need to get out more.

I think we would have got on quite well in the seventies
-
They’ve got away with it before on the continent. They found out the hard way last night that England is not so easily intimidated.
-
There were quite a few kids there last night, so that’s a no from me. Back in the Seventies I was a bit of a naughty lad, so I hear what your saying, but times change, the games more family orientated now, those days are over.
