You are the owner

[Rico]

We've probably all imagined this scenario before. Imagine that you are the owner of Aston Villa F.C. and that you are unbelievably wealthy (Bill Gates type wealthy). Obviously you love Aston Villa with a passion and you are more than willing to spend mega bucks on the club. What sort of things would you do to get Aston Villa back to being a force to be reckoned with? What would you do to get kids in London and Manchester to become Villa fans? It could be anything no matter how small or large, but let's try not to just say "buy eleven Lionel Messi's".

I'll start with a few things. (First of all let me offer an apology. I'm a child of the 70s and 80s so I get a bit nostalgic for Villa of that era.)

Remember money is not an issue!

• Knock down Villa Park and start again (Boom!) Rebuild it so that it is the biggest and best stadium in the country. Don't worry about not being able to fill it, you're so wealthy you can let the punters in for free, and anyway after a few seasons of trophy laden success, the ground will be full anyway. The new stadium must incorporate the old A.V. floodlights. They were so iconic I loved seeing them lit up at night on the approach to Villa Park.

• Make the Aston Villa kit into something iconic, something instantly recognisable. Apologies again, but the nostalgia is kicking in again. Make the home kit something like what we wore during the late 70s and early 80s, use the correct shades of claret and blue and then keep it. Don't change it, and don't put any advertising on it. Remember you are so loaded you don't need the cash.

• Season Tickets. Assuming that you are actually going to charge an entry fee, how about offering an incentive scheme where by every season see's a 10% discount on the previous season.

Right then. Over to you guys. I'm sorry that my ideas are not that great. I guess I'm not very imaginative, but I'm sure you can come up with better.

Free cheese for everyone. If anyone doesn't like cheese ban them for life from Villa Park, Birmingham, England, Europe and Earth.

I love cheese! Any wine with it?

[Tayls_7]

Are the staff who dole out the beer and pies those that will dispense the cheese? Not sure I'll bother.

[PeterWithesShin]

Everyone will have their own waiter/waitress who will bring a fine selection of cheeses to their seat.

This has extreme ramifications for the brand new 19,000 Holte terrace. The waitress will have to work Caerphilly.

Just wait until christmaas dam cheese lovers will be everywhere.

So a lack of cheese is our reason for being shit for the last decade. Smeg!

Pay the best manager in the world to bring the best players in the world. It's that simple.....

Once I'd made the Villa world club champions I'd buy Chelsea and close the classless twats down

No that's too kind, every club needs a feeder club ! Although had to be honest I had earmarked that privilege for our near neighbours now I'm the uber wealthy owner .I just know how happy it will make them developing players for us to win trophies 👍
