He would be a great mentor/adviser, but judging from what we hear about Wenger as a manager - he seems to be a complete control freak, so I think he would struggle in a DOF role. He’d want to be on the touch line/training pitch doing it himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they're Newcastle and we're Aston Villa. Not much competition really. Not even close. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think people get carried away with HS2 - it gets people to london 20 minutes quicker than we can currently. Thats it. If you think a whole load of major companies are going to relocate to Birmingham, because of that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Birmingham has been the butt of many jokes over the past decades, but it has quietly gone about the business of renovation and regeneration. It is now a superb city with a burgeoning worldwide reputation. It is also the geographical hub of a soon to be independent nation. We are also a transport hub with quick connection to the rest of the UK. The opportunities for business and leisure in the Birmingham area are sensibly priced and limitless. Newcastle is on the edge of a cold and windy North Sea and is a pain to get to, but it does have a vibrant waterfront area and a nice main street. Aston Villa FC is classy and historic .... Newcastle FC isn't! Not a difficult decision was it Nassef? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think a whole load of major companies are going to relocate to Birmingham, because of that ? big city plan brum is 50-60% cheaper than london and will be closer by train than most of the suburbs, there is a massive wave of investment in the city already with more coming (its currently listed as the 6th most investable city in europe, ahead of london) double the national average property price growth (the average is 3.7% brum is 7.8%) but the average house price in brum (£155k) is still way under the national average (£220k - london is £637k) population increase of 300k with 40% of the population under 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
