Sigh. The Marcia/Vichai structure that came about post 2016 disaster was very much our plan when Tielemans signed. Also there is no narrative here! Jesus, we are about to embark on a Championship season we are on a spending spree to break records of all records in this league. Top has more than enough out there to beat him with, without making it up. Edited 3 July 2023 by Mickyblueeyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jonathan_ross Posted 30 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 30 July 2023 (edited) Hope he’s having fun seeing his accessory/football club getting humiliated in Asia with his chums.

tsintskaro Posted 30 July 2023 Share Posted 30 July 2023 Last season i was saying that we are missing chance to become established team that always fights for europe and top 6 little did i know back then that we were so ****ed and worse times were coming Not sure if we will ever promote to premier league to be honest Still, this forum talks about anything except our owner being useless 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brownfox Posted 30 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 30 July 2023 Whoever is responsible for arranging this pre season needs to leave the club. It’s a terrible decision to play Liverpool as the final game. What did we learn? Nothing! One thing we should have learnt from last season was we have a mentally weak squad who need to build confidence, so what do we plan play Liverpool to be humbled! It’s shocking planning! we need to sign some attacking players because even Pep would struggle with these players. I know we signed Enzo his doppelgänger but that doesn’t mean we will play like Man City. At current state Leicester remind me of the player who would join your game dresses in the latest gear with the best boots and looks the part but when the game starts he’s got two left feet! Currently no confidence just hope! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 30 July 2023 Share Posted 30 July 2023 (edited) At least Susan Whelan is at the club, with her expertise. She seems to have a close bond/respect with the club's employees. (For example, when the club's Head Groundsman announced that he was leaving, she was apparently in tears.) Edited 30 July 2023 by Wymsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s the one thing I respect about owners like Man City’s…. He doesn’t hide the fact he’s filthy rich, but he also doesn’t pretend he knows the right decisions. He appoints the right people to run the right areas whilst he can sit back and enjoy the success. No harm in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bezzanator89 Posted 30 July 2023 Share Posted 30 July 2023 That was a completely wasted 10 days of season preparation. The Asia tour was nothing more than vanity project by the board to generate more revenue overseas. Coventry will really be fancying their chances in a week's time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a genuine group within our fan base that call Top the driven chairman/owner that Villa have. We sold a player for £80m and that January bought in Ryan Bennett on loan - going for the champions league. All the money spent in the summer they said - we bought Ayoze ****ing Perez for £30 bastard million. Monchi coming into Villa who have Rob McKenzie the Walsh disciple sat on transfers. We have Rudkin and replaced Marcia with Congerton. With Emery in management Villa are the ambitious club. Tielemans didn’t sign the contract because he wanted CL. He didn’t sign because he saw the lack of basic ambition. Ironic that he signed for us previously because of the Vichai led ambition. . All the players who didnt renew contracts, it was a sign something was up. Never since we were forced via administration have I known a time whilst supporting the club so many first team players couldnt even pen a renewal. Kasper said he didnt even get a response on his renewal. Edited 31 July 2023 by Chrysalis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all it served to do was highlight how irrelevant we really are out there while we're in that league. All we've done is reinforce that idea. I'd say our reputation comes out of this lower than it went in. The Asia tour fell short of even my astoundingly low expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the sustainable, comply with ffp, sell 1 player to build the squad model was a load of bullsh*t to hide the fact our owners cant financially compete at the highest level. Bournemouth, Villa, Brighton & Brentford currently have a net spend of 40m+ and will probably spend more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
