Proved at championship level, we know he works well with gestede and if we bid now he could settle for the rest of the season and possibly get us some goals. Ive seen him linked with middlesborough but surely we could be a better bet for him? Hasn't exactly fired Blackburn to glory the past few seasons, flat track bully, very lazy, contributes nothing if not firing. Don't rate him one bit.

Blackburn had both last season and didn't come up after scoring 41 goals so not sure how that would suddenly work for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 the question no-one seems to be asking is if we can afford to keep the players we have, Premiership wages in the Championship doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Richardson is being lined up for a new 6 year deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can already predict the explosion on here if anyone of our current squad ask for a transfer when we go down because they are "Too Good" for the championship.

Not long term, no. But if the club takes the view that we'll try and come back up on the first attempt then we can manage it for a season I'm sure. I think less players will leave than people think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Birmingham Mail 'Relegation clauses were inserted into contracts and Villa opted against signing players who refused to reduce their wages if the club lost their Premier League status' I think the club started putting relegation clauses into all members of staffs' contracts two or three seasons back.
