There's been one risible story about a takeover that was denied and nothing else has happened to comment on.
And why do they need to clarify Bruce's position?He's our manager until advised otherwise.

Does anyone know if FFP also controls investment in infrastructure? Because if it doesn't I think now would be the time to show us fans and the rest of the world that Aston Villa far from being a fading has been of a club is still intent on being a major force in football. Show us the plans for the stadium. We need SOMETHING to get excited about. Show us you mean business Tony & Recon. Tell the fans they need to back the club now more than ever and get the ball rolling.

There's been one risible story about a takeover that was denied and nothing else has happened to comment on. That is true :-)I guess what I hoped to see was the club come out on the front foot, clarify Bruce’s position either way quickly, address FFP & reassure that it wouldn’t be a fire sale of the couple of players who have enjoyed watching this season.In hindsight maybe a touch unrealistic :-)
Because we need something to get excited about and the fans want to see it.
