We were confused and surprised by Mr Bevan's remarks today stating that unnamed American and Asian owners have been talking about scrapping promotion and relegation to the Premier League.

If he intended this group to specifically include Aston Villa, as could be inferred by his comments, then we would ask him to confirm as much.

We might also add that the founding of the Football League in 1888 was led by a previous Chairman of Aston Villa, William McGregor.

It's nice to see us on the front foot. Well played Villa.

I haven't read our statement but let's see what moral high ground we take if it looks a reality.

It would not be a bad idea for our club, IF it is implemented correctly.
And that way is?

Just shows that state of the game when we actually think it may have even the remotest possibility of it happening.

Maybe I'm reading too much in to it, and they just don't want to deny something that no one has specifically claimed that they said, but I find it a bit concerning they haven't actually said they'd be against it. It's a bit of a statement about nothing.

A part of me wants this to happen. The sooner football destroys itself and we can all start again the better.
A bit like all those hardened communists who treat every setback as a step towards the inevitable conflicts that will destroy capitalism. Or something.

I think it would be a great idea.

At the end of the season all of the players are up for grabs and the team that finished last the previous season gets first pick.  Teams can then trade players and make money.

As if ........

Mind you, it would add some interest to the transfer windows.  Also the teams that want to buy the title can pay a bit more to help out the other clubs.

Do football a favour. Do it now while small heath are out of it. Wasn't MacGregor merely on our committee?
