Would you accept Villa Park being sponsored ?
« on: September 21, 2011, 02:48:22 PM »
Me, I'd take the money any day.

Frankly, it's all about the money now and we have to raise more any way we can.

Depends.

If the money would go on management fees, and paying down the debt to Lerner, then no. If the money was to all go to a decent manager to spend on the squad, then yes.

The latter isn't likely, so its a big fat no from me.

Villa Park will always be Villa Park, but i'm still against it in principle.

The money wouldn't make a lot of difference anyway.  We'd be nowhere near the £100m Arsenal got from Emirates, never mind the £400m that Citeh are getting.  We'd be lucky to get £50m, which we'd then piss up the wall on middling, average players.

if you were asked the question a few months ago 'would you accept Mcliesh as manager' the answer would have been NO, but we still got him, we have no chioce now, we have to go with it,

same as naming rights, its nothing to do with whether we would accept it or not, we have little say in the matter

Well...if it was enough to buy out Beye's & Ireland's contracts, it would be very tempting.

No.

I've had enough of greed and avarice chipping away at the game. It's the "everything has it's price" attitude that has made top class football the way it is and I'd rather we didn't contribute thanks.

Yes.  Is there a company called "Villa Park" that would cough up £100m?

No.

The money would only disappear down the trouser pockets of players and agents.

Accept it?  We'd have fuck all choice in the matter.  Like it?  Not likely.

I wouldn't have the slightest problem with. Someone gives us a few quid, we still call it Villa Park.
