Protect the Club at all costs

[remy]

Whilst we wait for this disgraceful game of brinkmanship to be played out between Fox and Lambert - to see if Lambert gives up on £5m (estimated) as the club implodes or Fox grows a pair whilst staring at financial oblivion - I believe that from this experience in the future that the CLUB should be protected at all costs.

Protected from a "Custodian" that is never prepared to put the club's future at stake again and use it as a temporary vanity project to be discarded when it becomes an inconvinience.

Protected from players who are 90% mercenary with little or no affiliation for the club they are currently plying their trade. You play poorly, you get less money. Play well and win, you will be rewarded. Its a results business. 

Protected from a manager that cannot be rewarded for the team doing badly and to take money out of the club when things arent going well. Again a contract that stipulates certain results, behaviour and compensation.

Too many for too long are taking the piss out of our club. OUR Club!

Unless you have a billion quid down the back of the sofa how are any of those going to get done?

Easy, we just get one billion Villa fans to each donate £1; or

One thousand Villa fans to each donate £1m.

Just think it through!

We form a hard band of 'Ultras' that demand lower ticket prices.
Whistle when the opposition have the ball.
Destroy (or deface) the players cars after a home defeat.
Throw our programmes at the bench to express our disatisfaction at a poor performance.
Regularly surround the entrance at Bodymoor heath.
Use social media to threaten / take the mick out of the players after a poor performance - keep them on their toes.

Basically to let them "know" we wont take any shite.

So constantly break the law. Yeah let's get banged up to protect the club.

I don't think my boss would take kindly to me spending all of my day outside Bodymoor.  But I'll float the idea.

Wow.

And when the hard ultras are all in prison for malicious communication, threatening behaviour and criminal damage, what then? Not-so-hard ultras? Softy Walter ultras?

My boss would be all for it.

But then I am the Aston Villa correspondent for Sky Sports News*.

It sounds like we should be protecting the club from the OP. Going to form a human shield around Villa Park to keep the ultras out, or, to be really mean, do it once the game has started to keep them in.

I'm going to mutter under my breath when we concede. That'll teach 'em! Forza Villa!

I tutted when Benteke got sent off against Spurs, and nearly swore at the home game against Arsenal when we let in three in four minutes.

I was part of the fans forum about match day catering.

I think you will find I've done my bit
