I'm trying to work out who overseas feels the need to learn about our "techniques and philosophy"?

They can call it what they like if it leads to better performances - however I'm thinking now please don't ever change Villa Park to something else !

My first thought was that the club are testing the water , to see fans reaction. The naming rights to Villa Park would surely be worth a lot more.

We're about to do the same with the kit and sponsor I believe

From your usual source, Vinnie?

Needs must whilst we're still in this bloody division. It's a shame that football is now not so much about money but so much money.

No source as such just some whispers i heard a while ago and with the Under Armour announcement im putting 2+2 together. Plus with Recon sports limited being set up in November it seems to be heading that way.

Good stuff.  If we need to play the system then so be it.

Great, so we DO have some money to spend this summer then. If we do t go up of course! This also shows me that they are covering their bases just in case.

"A shock name change"?

It sounds like a bloody good way of getting money into the club to get around FPP.  £200 million should do it.

From the Man City book of FFP avoidance.

And another yep.

Ah, Lambert's trips make sense now. Taught Klopp and Pep everything they know.

 About time we started playing the system for our own gain, just hope it covers the payments
to be made to Paying off the contracts of our two non performing drains on our resources

The traditionalist in me *hates* naming rights, but the realist understands that needs must. "Villa Park", however, is sacrosanct.

That's fine.

But we're Aston Villa. We will get monumentally bummed for this.

Is there a likelihood that this will happen?
