I don't think the most visionary, amongst us, saw this coming. We have been well and truly conned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking good, and this goes much deeper than we think by the looks of things. On these issues, I don't think......I just haven't got a clue whats going on or the extent of it. How on earth can we disintegrate, in the space of a few days....unless we have been well and truly hoodwinked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadken79 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Could this have had some kind contribution as to why the under armour shirt deal was cut short ? I always thought that was a bit odd and out the blue !!! Especially after it was announced who was taking over. Something really wrong is going on behind the scenes and it stinks. I fear a very bleak future for Aston Villa FC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry....its all well and good, being even interested in them.....there are too many deceiving folk you have to trust. We as humble fans, can only trust those in charge.....very sorry day for the football club.....but its starting to sound worryingly serious. There are folk far more in tune with these sort of things in the fan base, than me.....just hoping some of our own, can make sense of it.....but as I say, you can't believe anyone from the club.

How on earth can we disintegrate, in the space of a few days....unless we have been well and truly hoodwinked. He was relying on us to get into the premier league to cover up the cracks? That's not happened and everything is coming out of the woodwork. Wolves are after an inter Milan right back for 35m. I honestly don't think we would have been creating many shockwaves with our return back to the prem. It just seems we haven't got any money available at all, and not likely to have for a while. I have no doubt that Xia is loaded. Is he cash loaded though, or asset loaded? The latter looks the likely one, but he will sell us first before selling anything else imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you weren’t interested......and neither were a great many other people......just because things can be misleading or difficult doesn’t mean we should ignore it. And you said people didn’t see it coming, but many did.....but many others said “ leave him alone, good bloke, etc”...... Im not in the least surprised by any of it, there’s been very little evidence of real actual investment from the Owner, and too much assumed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
