A 2nd year in this disgraceful League

It's us that are disgracing this league with our contributions up to now, try telling fans from the likes of Barnsley and Huddersfield its a disgraceful league. I think your attitude is somewhat pompous.

[mattjpa]

Just seen that QPR were fined 8m for breaching FFP, Bournemouth 7.6m. When we have a wealth of attacking players (Kodjia, McCormack, Hogan, Hepburn Murphy, Green, Grealish) with a combined value of conservatively 50-60m it really wouldnt be too much of a big deal. TBF, we could probably cover it by selling Veretout and Gil...

[DeKuip]

I stopped reading the opening post when the Championship was referred to as "this disgraceful league" - the kind of typical arrogant comment that's really getting on my tits from Villa fans this season, particularly on here.
When you think about the competitiveness, the size of the crowds, stadia, desire of so many fans of many clubs to travel up and down the country in big numbers week in, week out following their team away from home, quality of football being played by most teams, tv coverage it gets etc etc - the Football League Championship is one of the best leagues in the world.
And the fact that a big wealthy club like us are discovering that it'll take a bit of bloody hard graft to get out of rather than just being able to buy our way out makes it even better in my opinion.
Lack of respect fucking annoys me.

[Jimbo]

Well said, DeKuip. The longer we turn our nose up at the league we're in, the more we'll get it bloodied.

[Clampy]

I didn't read any of it. The bloke's a loon.

[four fornicholl]

I know I'm quite old but are full sentences not deregeur anymore?
Do I need to be on crack to understand this?

No just sing the original post to yourself to the tune of Haircut 100's 'Love plus one'

These things need to be said, I feel.

Where does it go from here?

off to div 3 I fear

I didn't read any of it. The bloke's a loon.

At least his 'distinctive' style gives us an early warning.

I've got no problem with Alf's comments. Anyone who puts money into the club as a season ticket holder is entitled to take a view especially as they have to watch this shitfest every other week.

I'm an infrequent poster

Thats a positive from the season

I've got no problem with Alf's comments. Anyone who puts money into the club as a season ticket holder is entitled to take a view especially as they have to watch this shitfest every other week.

Having a season ticket doesn't 'entitle' you to a view any more than not having a season ticket. But if you are going to have a view then you should be prepared for some feedback, especially if you post in an annoying style as  alfititmus does.

Okay I'm an infrequent poster. But an ST holder.

2 Topics, and I can't see the point of re-posting them in their dedicated threads.

Mr Xia

Now it is clear that he is NOT a Doctor of anything - let alone "Gardening".
CNN in December, but no post on here about it 
Just silence.

Pre-December he claimed that NO PARACHUTE money had been spent ~ yet rolls out more millions...from where?

Just HOW MUCH has MR Xia pumped into us ?

And if he is the Business Wizard he claims to be...how on Earth is he or his Companies, still solvent? 
If this is how he conducts himself ?

I'm grateful that he is throwing money at us...long time since we've seen that   

BUT...if Mr Xia is the "Wonderkid" the "Economic-Superstar" he wants us to accept...
the saviour of Indian Football..the 'Keynote Speaker' at International Fairs...he says.... when do we see his WISDOM ?
His ACHIEVEMENTS ?
His BUSINESS ACUMEN ?

AT VILLA

Instead of Mr Xia's self-promotion, instead of his ego...how about someone telling him about
the Football League restrictions on spending?
WE - Villa- have to include Lerner's last spends alongside Xia's 'money-down-the-drain'
ego-trip, when the Football League do their sums, come May.
Did anyone explain that to him ?

WE - Villa - are up the creek, without Promotion. A 2nd year in this disgraceful League will see heavy fines and transfer restrictions.
Xia has spent too much WITHOUT knowledge of English Football.
An Egocentric idiot - imo.


BRUCE:

Always had his son in his dressing room.
Now he has no player...a Keane, a Bremner a Keown etc, prepared to head-butt walls and players to enforce 'His Masters Voice'.

Well rewarded players are not going to 'break-a-leg' for Steve, and Steve has no player in his dressing room to suggest that they do...

So it's tactics and 'Game-Plans' 

Back to the Dim-Tim philosphy 

Steve is probably here for the Redundancy Payment if all went wrong.

A future England Manager at one time...floundering around in the bottom half of the Championship???

Unable to motivate players and unable to keep us supporters / fans / customers.... in the Stadium.

Infrequent poster, daily reader. OK 

These things need to be said, I feel.

That Alf ippititimus doesn't seem to know if his arsehole is punched or bored

[passport1]

Mental noteto self : Never stray into controversial font . Can cause offence.

[RichardBatchelor]

An entertaining and over-dramatic piece of utter gibberish. It's the H & V equivalent of William Shatner 'singing.' Most amusing, and mostly absurd. Not quite sure how a league itself can be 'disgraceful' unless it is riddled with very poor conduct? Ha ha
