Alright, hand up. Which one of you on here is Prince William?


Somebody who is well educated and who keeps correcting the grammar in posts is my guess.

Apparently rumours being spread of Villa suppliers not being paid promptly and generally him not having a pot to piss in and he’s not happy.

I don't blame him fpr being unhappy. It patently is not true, why should he put up with it. I would be livid if in the same position.

Playing devil's advocate, how is it 'patently' not true - I've no idea on what terms our suppliers are paid, do you?

The big companies, supermarkets anyway, are always the last to pay.

Actually Supermarkets pay quicker than most businesses in the UK.
There are some exceptions.

I see the Villa account reports he scored the winner in a staff match. Reminded me of the time the late Kim King il had eleven holes in one on the only occasion he played golf.

A new Recon company who’s registered office is based at Villa Park was incorporated on 17th November.  Hope it’s not the Phoenix company in waiting....joke joke.

Speaking to Villa’s official website, Xia said: “In terms of strengthening, everyone knows that for January we have the FFP to look at. But very possibly we will bring in a couple of loans to strengthen our squad. We want to keep getting better and better and help us end the season well.

“I hope in the next summer window, if we can go up, there will be a collection of more of my maths equations. Our ambition is that if we go up we won’t be satisfied to just stay there. We want to go back to being one of the elite clubs in the division.

“In order to achieve that, we will have to bring in some high-level players. I know this.


“But also, I have been impressed with our U23s players too, I must say. I like to watch the U23 training. We can see (Callum) O’Hare, (Keinan) Davis, (Jake) Doyle-Hayes, (Mitch) Clark and (Easah) Suliman coming through. There’s also (Andre) Green and (Jack) Grealish who have made that journey. We have a group of very good young players.

“I was chatting the other day and pondering whether in the next few years we could have a ‘late 1990s and early 2000s team’ - with people born in the late 1990s and early 2000s creating the ‘star Villa academy product team’."

With the current FFP noose hanging above our heads, will we have any money too spend in July 2018, if we get promoted?

Yes, that's a whole new ball game then.

I’m encouraged by what the Doc says should we go up. I’m just concerned at who we might target in lashing out a lot of money. What would consistute a Bruce signing at that level? Looking at the money being spent in the PL it is so easy to waste millions and millions. Exhibit A - Everton. But if spent wisely it can be very effective.
