Not sure why the club should be expected to buy the players suits, that sounds a bit crazy. They earn a 'kin fortune! True, especially given how much our players are on. I'm not sure what normally happens with Play-Off finals but is it the expectation of the club? Did Fulham do it for their players? Just curious really. The club will be able to note if for when we're next in the Play-Off final in 2027. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 i would have thought that no club pays £20k to have final suits, same as the england team dont pay for their suits, they will have a suit partner who provides them with one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dounavilla Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Apparently Dr Tone offered his tailor but all the players turned it down, can't see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Just occurred to me this morning but what's happened to the 20m we promised to give Lerner if we went up in first two seasons which was agreed in the takeover deal? Did we have it ready to send at the final whistle on May 26th so we could now use it to plug some of our financial shortfalls? Or is it a phantom figure that was going to come out of the 100m + premier league money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever it was I thought it was ridiculous and a bad sign for the club.... He definitely was a massive part in our rise to mediocrity. My memory is shit I'll grant that, but aside from a couple of cracker goals I don't remember him do anything.... Have to remember Chelsea signed him on a free year before he joined us so he was probably earning that at Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of clubs turn up in suits for big games at Wembley. From memory we can in our tracksuits which again is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouchmefoot Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Oddschecker story https://www.oddschecker.com/insight/football/20180606-odds-slashed-on-villa-being-relegated-following-winding-up-order Odds slashed on Villa being relegated following winding-up order Callum Wilson | Wednesday 6th June 2018 / 11:25 They’ve been slashed from 25/1 into just 8/1 following the winding-up order Aston Villa have had their odds slashed on being relegated from the Championship, following reports that a winding-up order has been handed to the club. They’ve been cut from 25/1 yesterday morning, into just 8/1 as of today, following an overwhelming amount of bets on their demise. In total, no less than 97% of bets in the last 24 hours have been placed on the Dr Tony Xia-owned club slipping into League One. Newly promoted Rotherham are favourites to slip out of the league at even money, followed by Bolton (6/4), Ipswich (11/4), Hull (4/1) and QPR (4/1). A total of £70m over the past two seasons and an unattainable wage structure has resulted in a HMRC winding-up order, with reports suggesting there’s a real chance of administration. Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek said: “Very rarely do we see such a high proportion of bets on any single market that we have for Villa being relegated. “They’ve attracted 97% of all bets in the last 24 hours at a ridiculously high volume, with punters lumping on what could be an eventual demise for the West Midlands club. “To rub salt in the wounds, one punter from Small Heath has placed £145 on Villa to be relegated into English football’s third tier – at least some Birmingham fans have found solace in Villa’s fall from grace.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 At the time they also had Ben Haim on stupid wages and a long deal, but Villa being Villa and Man City being Man City (at that time) we both paid them for the privilege of getting two clowns of their books. When you are a big club you can ALWAYS find some mug to take your shite off your wage bill, and pay you handsomely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Smirking face huh? in reply to I don't know what a Jodie Imray is, nor do I give a flying.....fig about Love Island (Which apparently is so important it needs discussing on question time btw!). Also a bit of fun for the Twitter demographic doesn't normally annoy me at all. But I do question the timing of this one and I think it may be a little too soon. Bad call guys. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I'm very concerned. Cotons left now the fitness guys left for cut backs. Wtf is going in at this **** club? We cant affird suits or a fitness coach. I think we are in absolute deep shit. I think we are definitely heading for adminstration and relegation if that happens. If that happens I will never forgive xia he can do one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
