villan-scott Posted October 15, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2018 A superb public speaker. Excellently measured and thoughtful. Had all the right answers and seems to know exactly where we want to go and how we want to do it. A plan within Aston Villa from top to bottom, and no mention of any engines anywhere. It does seem that we are going about our business and affairs efficiently and effectively. Now let’s hope the results on the pitch follow suit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring back "Aston Villa Prepared" Yeah Part of The Pride is up there with the Proud History Bright Future shite and both unessecary in my opinion. I have grown to like our new badge without the 'prepared' part too. Less is more I guess? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring back "Aston Villa Prepared" It's just marketing, not really a motto. We got rid of 'Prepared' as a motto because it was laughably inaccurate. It was a poor motto anyway but regardless I don't want to see it anywhere at least until it's manifestly obvious that we actually are. Perhaps today was a big step, perhaps not, but we're 15th in the Championship with three awful keepers and one established centre half. Prepared we ain't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted October 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) I've just watched the presser and this feels very, very different. I don't think I have ever seen Aston Villa looking and sounding so professional before. These guys will truly walk the talk I feel. It felt like I am supporting a big club and a properly modern club.

Popular Post KMitch Posted October 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2018 I don't know... I'm still skeptical and will still reserve judgment until we see some action over the next year or so. Maybe it's just due to the fact that we've heard the same promises from the past 2 owners and 3 CEOs and they mismanaged the club to where we are today. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
