S-Platt Posted February 1, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2016 It's all part of a master plan save on transfer fees and wages and bung the opposition £1.5M to throw each game between now and the end of the season! 41 years of supporting this club and it's never been this bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be one of the biggest summer's in Villa's history. If we don't back Garde then it's game over Being a pedant the window didnt open until the 2nd. But we should've had a striker agreed before then so that they could have joined up asap. How many more points would we have right now if we had a decent striker the last month? How many games did we play well but have no end result? How many more players could we have then signed later in the window? We could've at least tried to stay up or start preparing for a promotion run next season. Doing nothing the whole window is unforgivable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't back Garde then it's game over I agree with the points, sadly I just don't see the board making any sort of meaningful investment. I personally think he will quit once he realises (if he hasn't already) the scale of cuts to come, and I honestly wouldn't hold it against him. Its a no win situation for him.

I think we could have convinced Afobe to join and he would have scored goals, helped us get promoted back up if we did go down and I think his value is only going to increase.

This is why I simply do not get the argument for not spending. I've saw posts saying 'well if Newcastle go down after spending all this money they are going to be in trouble' No. If Newcastle go down after spending all this money, they will win that league in absolute canter. Mike Ashley may be a word removed but he is a shrewd businessman. Randy Lerner is a word removed, and a terrible businessman. That's why his head in sand approach to this transfer window hasn't caught on at other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ReasonforRevolution Posted February 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2016 Whilst this window has been a new low can we try and get some 'Remi Gardes claret and blue army' chants and general support going at the games. This January, like us he has been stabbed in the back and we could do with showing our support wparticularly to him whilst stating which side we sit. The manager and to some extent players need to know our anger is mainly towards the clowns upstairs and this shambles of a transfer window. Let's not allow the media to lambast us and not allow the board to place the manager or players in the firing line. They've hid for too long. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's been reported he's on his way to Bordeaux ON LOAN until the rest of the season. Can't be arsed to post links, sorry. At work. A right back is really not a priority, so ok with that. It is a goal scorer we need, put all our meagre resources towards that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr600rr Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 the lack of signings says it all, the new chairman says its not £ that builds a team.. he bang on ! look at leicester, is leicester for sale? nope the board are all pulling in the same direction, the day RL put the club f/s that was it,players know if they dont perform its ok as no players will be brought in to replace them, its a cancer a very dark day today as the manager has not been backed ,we can only guess now what game we get relegated.apart from that their nothing to look forward to this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remi has been hung out to dry by these clowns running the place. We should show our support for him whilst voicing our anger at Lerner and co for the absolute f*****g shambles they have created here. The Cleaveland Browns fans did warn us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 1 hour ago, VillaCas said: I thought we would bring two or three in during Janaury (and still think a couple will turn up) however if there is no incomings then it wouldnt surprise me I think Fox and Hollis are resigned to relegation. I think that they know that if they don't back Garde in the summer he will rightly be off They will need to find a net spend of £30m (minimum) if they harbour any ambitions of coming back up and hanging on to Garde It would surprise me if anyone at all came in today. Any reporters who are at VP or BH today should be told to "move along there is nothing to see here". I think you are 110% right to the extent they seem to rather relish the prospect. I think that may be a plan. They might feel he will walk after this which would save them having to pay him off in the summer when I think they will be looking for a manager that will work for significantly less in any case. £3m net would be nearer to the figure I am expecting. In fact I would not bet against a net profit on next summer's window. We always expect the next window to be different than the last. I wonder if Fox & Hollis will see their wages reduced next season? Somehow I doubt it. They are more likely to get a bonus for spending nothing this month as our "custodian" always intended and placing the blame for this on our league position and the players we tried to sign rather than where it belongs. Our club has become a laughing stock! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worryingly though, the next managerial search is likely to be from a pool of Manager's that are just thankful for the work, so with embrace the owners model rather than question it. Then we are in real trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
