UpTheVilla26 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Shame I didn't win that £182mill on the Euros cos' I would have brought their club. Once I had done that, levelled the shit hole ground, released their entire playing staff from senior down to U11's, slapped Gardner and coughed up some compo, I reckon I would still have about £150mill left to spend and that's a conservative estimate. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a consortium of city centre bar owners could try a takeover to preserve their pre match custom? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Their assisant manager Mark Kennedy has left to become Lincoln manager, and they've said they're going to be working with Bowyer to find a replacement, so sounds like he's staying. I think the potential takeover is leaving them in limbo, as current owners aren't going to want to have to pay to sack a manager, or invest in new players, if they might not be owners in the coming months, what makes it worse for them is that any takeover will apparently take months to complete, something to do with their HKSE situation, so by the time they have new owners if that's what happens, there might not be much time, if any at all, to prepare for next season.

VillaJ100 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 It's funny as the two desperate things they used to pipe up about, the academy and women's team, are now both shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 They're the first team to have their Category One status academy publicly downgraded, and they basically admit in their statement that it's because they can't afford the money needed 'costs have been significantly higher than anticipated. This has presented a sizable obstacle when attempting to meet the required Category 1 conditions'. They announced they were closing down their academy and when there was a backlash against that, it seems instead of just simply reversing that decision, they went one step further and took on something they couldn't manage. They're actually producing a few decent youngsters at the moment, Trevan Sanusi been in the last few England U15 squads, Jordan James still only seventeen, played twenty times in the championship for them last season being linked with Palace and Wolves, George Hall another seventeen year old has also played for their first team and is an England U18 international, and of course there's Jobe Bellingham who's a very good player in his own right. I think as well as Sanusi they've got a few other highly rated youngsters in the pre scholarship age, so will be interesting to see if their academy being downgraded has any bearings on their futures, could be some potential for us to pick up a few players.
