Business is not always pretty and nor are some of the individuals involved in business but beyond what you perceive to know of these people just be **** happy for Aston Villa will you and stop dragging the rest of us down Edited June 14, 2016 by Tubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that could be leveled at a fair proportion of the fanbase.....for me, I'm just waiting to see who we bring in and secondly to win our first game. Ps I am more interested in the football than the high finance. Edited June 14, 2016 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Well, I wasn't convinced by this guy at all. Now at least I know he had the money to buy the club, though I wonder how much more he really has, and who he's brought with him. Anyway, I'm going to try to be positive for a change. Welcome Tony. Surely, surely, you can't be as useless as the last two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 It's not an exact science but the reading of body language is used by people with an important job to do. Obviously you can't tell much from a photo that's but a moment in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJim Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Have to admit sharing some worries at the composition of the board, but after seeing the photo I am a little more at ease: we might be needing replacements for some of those three sooner than suspected.

useless Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Regardless of whether it falls under the umbrella of science, it's still a tool that's used, by politicians, crimininala investigators and so on, i.e people with important jobs to do. One similary might say that psychology isn't an exact science, although my readings lead me to believe that some divisions of that particular discipline are more exact than others.

HanoiVillan Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Caligula had an important job to do, and he named his horse a senator. I'm not being particularly serious here. If you feel happier having seen the photo then fair enough, and I'm not trying to take that feeling away from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I wasn't being serious with my initial 'leader of the pack' comment. I hadn't actually attempted to read the body language of the photo, it was just my attempt at a joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing it's just a pseudo-joke. otherwise we'd have to debate if it could be taken seriously for a couple days, rather than discussing something related to football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteyp Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I was excited when Lerner took over 10 years ago with the promise of millions, then Man City got bought and, well, we won't dwell on how things deteriorated. I am now just genuinely excited that we've been bought by someone who has a plan and has immediately brought in a group of people who appear to know what they are doing. So Samuelson is shady, it seems that the good doctor needs someone who can move money around, it can't be easy running an Anglo-Chinese company, particularly one with such potential media scrutiny. I really just want to enjoy watching Villa again and the first few days seem promising to me, the new season can't come soon enough... except I won't be able to watch the games over here in the States. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
