I've just been told the Father's day tour at Villa park that had 135 booked guests went ahead today but the meal in the 82 lounge was cancelled due to Villa not paying the food suppliers and only having enough for 50 people!!! @Dr_TonyXia explain that one!!! #avfc #Embarrassing

If that is true then we are an utter shambles. The admin rumours may be true.

Does anyone know how true this is. I havent seen anything reported on this, so Im thinking its not

1. It's on Twatter
2. It was 'told', not experienced directly

Last week. Do keep up.

If it was true, then surely more people would have took to social media to complain rather than just one person who wasn't even there?

Villa outsource the catering to Compass. Unless Compass have stopped paying suppliers etc, then it’s business as usual.

Sorry - I'm hiding under my bed until it's all over.

I genuinely cannot believe people are still going on about needing a new manager as the club potentially turns to dust

FFS. Get your priorities in order

In what world can we, Aston Villa circa summer 2018 afford to pay off another manager and his staff (never mind finding the money to then appoint a whole new set) when we're frantically scraping around down the proverbial back of the settee looking for coppers to fill the piggy bank ?

What on earth are you people thinking of .. JFC

WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES

Couldn't agree more.  Not for one minute going to say I'm a Steve Bruce fan, because I'm really not.  But if we're struggling to pay HMRC, then paying off the manager and then paying out more money to get a new one is ridiculous.  Bruce has done an alright job - Villa are hardly in freefall.  A new manager would be nice, but it's really low down on the list of priorities (or at least should be).

[Des Little]

I have to say I'm way more worried about the club dissolving than who the manager is.  In fact, if Bruce had to go in order to cut costs, I'd promote Agnew to manage the team this season.

Brum mail now running an article to say Xia is struggle to save us. Next 10 days crucial. Keeps in line with the admin news of 28th/29th that a few posters have discussed.

I don’t think we could be further apart in our opinion of Bruce

I curse the day we ever appointed him as our manager and said at the time that nothing good would come of Villa while he’s in charge, and i haven’t changed my mind and just look where we are

how any Aston Villa fan can look at the situation we are in right now which Bruce has been just as culpable as anyone else at the club and say he’s the man to take us forward is for me absolutely mind blowing, staggering I just don’t get it

I don’t know if the next bloke will be any good but the present bloke will take us on the road to nowhere as he’s done so far

Where in that rant did i even mention Bruce being the man to take us forward

It can't have been a nose making this up as there are too many big numbers involved.

Chief scout and fitness coach have gone. How is Micah going to cope without the latter. Ah Bruce likes him around the place as a court jester and a bloody dear one.

The silence is deafening from the club. What a shoddy bloody state we're in.

I'm sure we will hear plenty next week when the next HMRC and pay bills are due......

Villa fans = mushrooms. Kept in the dark and fed on BS!
