The bookies have us as favourites to win the league. They have us as joint favourites for promotion.We have two players in the top 5 odds for being top scorer (Kodija and Hogan).They are rarely wrong so the doom and gloom we may feel isn't necessarily what others are thinking of our situation.
I hope you're right - if hourihane really is £10m quality that's greatReally haven't seen that so far though. Was he linked with premier league clubs? That's normally a pretty reliable sign (not always though)On formation, I too have wondered if Bruce is contemplating that sort of 1980s style 442, with one winger and one tucked in more to help the midfield. I can some sense in that. The main problem for me is that the contenders for the tucked In role would seem to be Bacuna or Thor.
Mr Wyness has come out with words to the effect of 'we are close to breaking FFP, next season will be tougher if we don't go up.' This is obvious to most. I remain officially worried. If it doesn't happen this season we will;1. Sell Kodija.2. Have very little parachute money.3. Have an owner that may lose interest especially as he won't be able to invest.4. Have a lot of old players on the books we cannot shift.5. Still have Richards for another year on £60k per week.
I'm now in this awful state of purgatory where I've come through the 'I couldn't care less anymore ' stage and staggered blinking into the 'it really matters to me again' light. Just when I thought the torment and pain was all behind me it's back. I would say it's the hope that kills you but in Villa's case it's the hopeless (e.g. Hutton, Gabby, I could go on)
Why is it that it is only possible to buy tickets for the next game on the OS? What about following games?I am sure it wasn't this shit last season.BTW I am worried about Villa's future, hence choosing this thread.
