AndFos Posted May 21, 2005 Author Posted May 21, 2005 10-15 mill. for me, Ellis is afraid to get everyone against him, even the ones that thinks he generally does a good job...(morons!)
pablopicasso Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 our usual... probably about 4 mil net.... ellis doesnt care about upsetting the fans... hes proven that he will lie to us and take the piss over and over and over...
The_Rev Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Hopefully we will be bringing some real quality in soon. Berger and Hughes are decent players, but are they a better class of player than we already have at B6? Im not so sure. A good sign is that we are moving early. Moving early could well mean that you have lots of targets, or you want to beat your rivals to players you are in for. Villa usually bring players in after pre season training has started. I could never see the logic in that. Im glad we seem to be moving away from that this year.
SiDdIoNEy Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 I refuse to let the langham situation ruin my summer, What is interesting though is a story about the money Dol was being given which came out about 2 or 3 weeks ago where Dol said something like "i had a meeting with the board and The way the chairman broke down the figures it's decent money and i will be getting some this summer and for the next 3 summers after" which tells me that doug may have been more involved in this "3 year plan" than some think, I expect the funds to be there just like the board told us, the manager and players and if it isn't then he'll get a reaction make no mistake about that, I just thank god the barsterd isn't a young man anymore , up the villa
tarjei Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 £3-5 mill. We'll proberbly miss out on Parker and Bellamy and end with Phillips, a loanee/freebie and someone like Vignal.
StuartR Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Why is there no option for over £20 million? :winkold:
villafan306 Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 I think between 10 and 15 million £. I think Ellis knows we need to spend in order to get some decent income from Europe - despite all that has been said about him at the end of the day he is a businessman and wants to make money.
wills1108 Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 ( ELLIS TO SELL- MY VOTE) prob wishfull thinking, the irish pair JP McManus and John Magnier who sold out to Glazier hav a few quid to put into a football club y not ours????
dubav Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 ( ELLIS TO SELL- MY VOTE) prob wishfull thinking, the irish pair JP McManus and John Magnier who sold out to Glazier hav a few quid to put into a football club y not ours???? These two guys are pure business men only interested in making money as proved in the utd dealings so they would have no interest in the av no serious money to be made here.
Richard Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 our usual... probably about 4 mil net.... ellis doesnt care about upsetting the fans... hes proven that he will lie to us and take the piss over and over and over... Agree with this. Anyone who thinks Ellis will spend in order to quell any backlash does not understand Ellis. 1. He lies. 2. He thinks he is indestructable 3. He lies
JohnCresswell Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 It'll be more than four million. Even a egotistical liar like Ellis will know that you can go the past three months mentioning mega spending and a new squad in every story involving an official mouth piece, then actually spend £4million, then I'd imagine surely the support that he does have will dwindle (apart from the bozos who will refuse to believe it, insult, make some bizarre excuse and believe what they believe because it isn't the popularist view). It'd also be the biggest lie the club has ever told the fans so far.
bigwheels Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 It'd also be the biggest lie the club has ever told the fans so far. And you're right. And most of your statement is spot on. Apart from the curious little rant. :? As said in the Question To Doug Fans Thread, this could be something huge for Villa. I just think its a shame that the people who care the most don't necessarily have the nous to make the most out of it.
