Popular Post Jas10 Posted September 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) In the summer of 2018, Wes Edens and Nassef Sawiris bought a team facing the threat of administration: Aston Villa. The team had recently lost the English Championship Playoffs Final to Fulham. Then came Wes Edens and Nassef Sawiris. The took over the club, and now they have returned it to the Premier League. “The sky is the limit, with such a fanbase and such a great squad,” said Sawiris according to The Express Standard. “We’ve seen that with great management.” “Our ambition was not just to get promoted but to do well in the Premier League,” he added. “It just feels great to be able to do something for all these great fans behind us.” He explained: “I have to say I did envisage it.” “We had 12 games left when Jack (Grealish) came back – we had to win 10, we thought, to make it and made it easy because we won 10 in a row.” “And from then on we believed the whole time we would be standing right here,” he said. “To be here on this pitch with my partners and all these fans, it’s truly incredible.” “They bought this club last July when it was at its lowest ebb in its proud history,” said chief executive Christian Purslow. “They’ve been brilliant owners, they are hugely experienced in the sport.” “They asked me to come and join them – I’m so proud and honored to be here with them and to make all these incredible fans so proud. It’s the best day you could imagine,” he commented. Edited September 30, 2020 by Jas10 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed....cannot see us being in the same position with strikers as we were last Summer i.e. Wes with KD as back up and Kodjia (pissing about somehwewre in a strop) . I'm pretty certain we will sign a ST who can cover LW or vice a versa...Josh King would be a goo doption IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All our recent England internationals I can remember over the past ~20 years got into the squad regularly after joining Villa. Huge statement of intent... Dion Dublin? He played his first three games for England, before joining us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember him having played for the national team before he joined us. Might be wrong though. You are not wrong. He won 23 caps with Boro, before he joined us in plaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bannedfromHandV Posted September 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 Don’t know about everyone else but I’m absolutely buzzing right now. I hope it doesn’t come back to bite me on the arse come May but I really feel like we’re heading back toward being a top 6-7 club again. I’m finding it really hard to find a negative about us at the moment. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
