Grasshopper Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) When whoever started the "Promotion thread" I read, then laughed. When I saw this thread I thought "Oh F**k" as it is more possible to be in the bottom 6 with 10 games to go than top 6 with 10 games to go. RL + Krulak, no Bernstein/King, no takeover, best manager pick gone, same squad of losers minus the good ones, no investment. Hollis wont know whether to Piss or Shit his pants as the lesser of two evils. Edited May 5, 2016 by Grasshopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted May 7, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2016 With this owner, this manager, and these players as our backbone we are goin down again. Let's hope none of those happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Obviously touched a nerve by opening up this thread! I'm not trying to be overly negative - but, like other people have already said, if theres no takeover, EB as manager, no decent investment, following on from our season of woe....no motivation, negative atmosphere, chaos from top to bottom. We need to consider the possibility of what happens if we are in another dogfight next year and don't have the players to get out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sick in my stomach at the reality that we will be in the Championship next season. But the reality is At this moment in time, the fans have turned amass on 99% of the players, coacing staff and whats left running the club. No sale will mean RL still making the blueprint Club running at a loss SH tasked with cutting costs RL + Krulak 2/3rds of the board. Any sense that SH comes up with can be out voted. No Manager EB as caretaker Reilly still moneyballing Gaby on a 2 year contract The shit that put us down clinging on to half a good wedge unless someone buys them. Loanees back and youth as our plan A Make of the Status Quo what you will "Down, Down, Deeper and Down........" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 As things stand now this is more likely than promotion, but a lot will change in the summer. No ITK but we will have a completely different team next season, and also a new manager, think we all know this. If we get a new owner, promotion becomes a realistic target. If Lerner stays we'll just see more re-shuffling of the chairs and with a bad start who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never underestimate Aston Villa's ability to sink to new depths, this club has managed to deliver ever increasing amounts of shit year in year out for the last 5 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) All the predictions and " what ifs" have been made. We are in limboland right now and will remain there until something tangible changes it. The journalists just like Gabby ( and a few more)are poncing a living out of our demise.....as frustrating as it is, we just have to live with it until someone of some substance puts a stop to it.

Both threads are equally redundant at this stage, this one and the promotion one. But I don't see what harm either are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it's too early for even a promotion thread! This season hasn't even ended yet! The portion thread despite people's thoughts a push for promotion thread is far more realistic. Relegation for real? I mean I watched derby 4th in the league and Jesus were they awful. What are teams in the lower scale like?! I don't think we will go down again.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 The difference between the teams at the top of the championship and those at the bottom end is slim in terms of quality. Good management, drive, work rate and confidence tend to separate them. That and a healthy dose of luck. We have none of those things at the moment. Not one. I don't think we will go down. But then ask me the same question 9 months ago and I'd have said exactly the same thing. I know what you mean, it's not nice reading that your team is shit. Particularly not from fellow fans. But as things stand, for me, relegation is far more likely than promotion. Yes I expect much to change, but with Randy Lerner there's always a chance it could turn out a lot worse than we ever imagined. By sleepwalking along and pretending everything will be fine, we've ended up here. A bit of hard to stomach negativity from time to will do us good in the long run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
