Paul33 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) The club needs to be in the top flight. Explain why exactly because I don't get it. From a fan perspective, why do we need to be in the top flight ? Edited February 11, 2015 by Paul33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The first bit of that is true, Lerner has spent the bare minimum on the squad despite massive TV revenues Has he not actually spent more than he's been allowed under FFP, with us skirting VERY close to the limits when the sanctions kick in next year? Our losses show he's hardly been pocketing all the cash, we have loss targets that we have to be within and spunking a fortune could mean points deductions, fines, and a waste of time spending the money to begin with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The club needs to be in the top flight. Explain why exactly because I don't get it. From a fan perspective, why do we need to be in the top flight ? well the rest of the post that you didn't quote explained some of the reason. "Can't just accept a lower league because we might win a few matches and make a few people smile. Going by that logic we might as well play in the Conference and win every match four or five nil, it's an hollow victory. The club needs to be in the top flight." if the club ever wants to be competing at the top again it has to be in the Premier league not floating around the lower leagues.

Nabby Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Baggies win tonight go 4 points clear or us and 10 goal (currently) GD on us ... Problem we have no is some clubs are pulling away , again a Palace win tonight and they would be 7 points clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Question for the floor: Is a relegated Aston Villa a better proposition for a prospective buyer than a Premier League Aston Villa, given the huge cost difference, disparity in FFP rules between leagues, and forthcoming increase in PL TV money, should they be able to get the club promoted in the meantime? IMO it probably would be. You'd be able to take Lerner to the cleaners over the cost anyway, he'd just want rid. You could pump as much as you liked into the club during the time in the Football League, as the Premier League doesn't apply spending there to its FFP and vice versa, so there'd technically be no financial restrictions (assuming you can get out within 3 years and make sure you don't go back). You still get the potential of the club, the stadium, the catchment area and everything that goes with Aston Villa, but for a lower outlay and with less restrictions initially. Could someone be biding their time waiting to pick us up for a song, plough money into us, take us up, and go from there? 200m to buy the club in the PL versus 100m to buy it in the Championship with 100m spent on playing staff during that year... 12 months down the line you've potentially got a lot more going for you with the second approach than the first 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Allback_14 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Leicester look gone Burnley could be a few points adrift if they don't pick up a win against the big boys in their next 4 games So you're lookinng at one from us and about 4/5 teams for the final spot The new manager bounce would be worth its weight in gold and could just keep us up - here's hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Ok. Our chances just increased. We need someone in, fast. We need that boost, we need to start scoring goals and winning games, right now. The clock is ticking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think Palace and West Brom will both be fine. They have had that new manager bounce and that for me will be enough to see them safe. We need a similar reaction when we appoint a new manager. Burnley and Leicester will drop and for me it is out of QPR, Hull, Sunderland and us for the last relegation spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 If the new manager can get Benteke firing again I think the job is pretty much 90% there in terms of staying up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
