After Andy Goram came out as being schizophrenic, at the next match he played the other fans started singing "two Andy Gorams, there's only two Andy Gorams" Hahaha yes! Love that chant ^^.

Popular Post VILLAMARV Posted August 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2016 Fair play to Dr X. When he took over 8 weeks ago all I wanted was some hope. Since then he has overseen more change than I expected. I don't have a problem with how much money he spends at this point because whether I agree with it or not the new team have a plan and I'm witnessing them trying to implement it. I expect us to sell before we buy not as some sort of conspiracy but because of the terrible financial position relegation + Lerner's tenure have left us in. Nzogbia, Richardson, Robinson, Crespo, Clark, Gil, Sinclair, Gana and Guzan are all gone from last years squad. It seems that they are trying to shift Lescott, Veretout, Sanchez, Bennett and most importantly Gabby. Richards is probably on that list (although I was surprised to hear he was on the bench on Sunday). That would be 15 players out if they all leave and apart from being exactly what was needed after the non whimper of last season its a huge departure from the last few years of constantly talking in the press about players leaving then when they dont, ending up with Sylla et al as some sort of pacifier to the fan base. I don't expect instant success but the hope is back, we are being way more pro-active and aggressive in the transfer market than I expected, the new board has football people on it and pretty much everything we've had to moan about under Lerner seems from the outside to be being addressed. Whether the team go on to earn the success we all crave is up to them and RDM. But as far as new owners go from what we've seen so far I'm pleased. Keep it up Dr X and happy 8 week anniversary!!

Johnnyp Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 His latest tweet says we are very close to signing another midfielder. Should be in before Saturday. Unless villa have been keeping it very quiet, it's gonna be Jedinak or Morrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but the squad and the wage bill are still huge. The manager stated that the squad was too big and I assume that there's a huge difference between coaching 22-25 players at a time vs 30. There's a tipping point where the message becomes diluted. I don't think anybody wants another bomb squad situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Paul Mitchell has left Tottenham Hotspurs today. I wonder if he might be our new Technical Director, he used to work for Southampton, so there's a chance that he may know Andrew Stone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Let's just drink it in. Positivity ladies and gentlemen. It's f-ing lovely isn't it? Hope his positivity - and RDM's pragmatism - seep through to the playing staff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I won't believe in this Dr until he has a 'Villa' tattoo on his leg and a Chinese General confirms it on social media. There I said it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
