Isa Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I wasn't really comparing everything about them to us. I just meant that even though they had that kind of money to spend on one player to add to what was already a talented squad, It is quite interesting that we are around the same position as them at the moment given how we've been labelled a club in crisis by the media. They are suffering the Europa League effect to an extent. It's like when Hull were 6th (or whatever it was) halfway through the 08/09 season - the same sort of points could've been made by their fans which would've proved to be premmature. Same here.

Again though i'm not saying we are on the same level as them. I just found it interesting that after almost £30 million spent on one player they still find themselves around the same places as us in the league. It was merely a general observation.

They spent 30m on a player about equivalent to the actual ability of a player we spent 7m on though, again reinforcing the point that the amount you spend on a player actually means nothing in terms of what you get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 "The loans will be part of a sale price I think" and that is why the price he wants has put potential buyers off suttonpaul. He made cash from selling the Browns but then lost big money to Mrs L. He cannot expect to break even without selling off the family jewells or should I say the clubs? Is it time for Randy to have a word with our former owner to suggest he puts some of the millions he took out of the club to have the stand that has his name on it kept on it? You want Doug to put money into Aston Villa. Good luck with that one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other is a donkey. No equivalency to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think he's made some very good signings and some poor ones. The better ones do look to be stand out purchases though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Tom fox's interview read like a CEO working at a club with a plan. Not a club up for sale. I pray things have been going on behind the scenes to get this club sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
