Happy NSWE Day everyone. It was on this day 12 months the club officially announced the sale of the club to Nasif and Wes. What a fucking incredible year it’s been.

Hasn’t it just TV.
In hindsight, losing to Fulham was the best result our club has had for years.

What a year 😊

You smile a lot these days CD, it's great!

It exposed for all to see how far we had sunk. It wasn’t just Xia/Wyness/Bruce, it was all of those years of Lerner and his mismanagement too. All of the years of really bad decisions rolled into the very thought out club could be wound up. It was right given everything we let Bruce stay and I will always thank Glenn Whelan for that penalty miss too, because that then started the Dean Smith era. But without these two guys simply put we’d be buried right now.

Ta mate, at least Villa doing well has distracted me from the burning loathing of Brexit and Trump that eats away at my soul hourly 😂

Totally agree.

Yeah, I've thought that a few times. Best defeat in our history. Mad to think that for a couple of months, it seemed like that game might be the catalyst for the actual extinction of the club.
Thanks Wes and Nassef. ❤️

Agree with the sentiment; it's been a helluva year thanks to them. Thank you.
Do we have to start renumbering things now? 1874 is 144 B-NSWE? 2019 becomes 1 A-NSWE?
Just asking ...

No but good attempt Allan :)

Yes brilliant day.
And the flood of tears it started at the Thornbush and Sty has not stopped.

Incredible to think where we were a year and a day ago. Massive strides since Deano took the reigns, in every element of the club. As a fan I'm still recovering and shaking my head in disbelief after the play off final. A big thank you to both Nasif and Wes for giving us our club back.

Awwwwww! Three exclamation marks. x

What a year indeed. Solid foundations, great people running the club and back in the Premier Division. Some excellent players signed and the fans are back in love with the club after a torrid few years.

One each for the two owners and Purslow.

When I think about it, it's very much like the excitement I felt in 1968 when the cobwebs of the old Villa regime were finally swept away by the Pat Mathews led takeover, only back then I was nineteen! If we achieve in the future what we eventually achieved after that; there are going to be a lot of very happy Villa supporters.

That's something to dream about and aspire to Dave. I grew up thinking Villa were THE team; a league title, champions of Europe and two league cups all before I was twelve. God knows the Villa kids need a break.

Yes, many thanks to Nassef and Wes! Hopefully they'll buy-out Tony Xia completely soon.
