Remi getting plenty of stick on tonight.  Jason the taxi driver in particular.

[andym]

Yeah, complaining that Remi is negative and hasnt gone for wins. Ignoring the fact that when he arrived we had just lost 7 in a row, had only won 1 league game and had clear divisions in the team. Oh and his first 5 games included Man City and Arsenal at home and Everton and Southampton away.

I have also heard the usual about 'its because we signed a load of inexperienced french players' (again ignoring its the so called good old premier league experienced British players who have been the poorest performers).

And the usual obsessions over Pearson. When did he become the only choice to get us back up? You could say he did an amazing job at the end of last season at Leicester, but he was there for the first part, so wasn't he therefore responsible for them being in that mess? And as for the experience of getting teams promoted, i believe there are as many examples in his managerial career where he hasnt done a great job. And Mcleish got Blues promoted to the premier league and won a cup.

I dont understand the idea that only a British manager will do, and that they are the only ones who are tough, no nonsense and know how to battle.

[dave.woodhall]

Franks astonishingly bought up the asset stripping call tonight and asked for other people's views.

They've had the bloke back on tonight, sorry I mean rang him up to get him on.

And to repeat a very scratched record, if the club had balls and a decent media department WM wouldn't dare say things like that more than once.

The amount of times I have heard we are going to be asset striped in the last 24 hours is amazing

[oswald funkletrumpet]

what are these assets?

sell vp to tesco?
sell the holte pub that only does business on matchdays?
sell players at a loss?

selling bodymoor heath would be an idea for the good it does

Tesco down the road already. Food store market on its knees, so no value from them

Bodymoor Heath has no value a over its existing use. No chance of getting housing there. From memory HS2 due to bisect it

Resale value of players is limited

In summary, no assets to strip!

shows what a fuckwit call me wanksy is if a halfwit like me can work it out

[Steve kirk]

Wanksy is a Twat of the highest order.

The bloke they bought on actually said a Chinese investor was coming in to sell everything off. I know they say you couldn't make it up but genuinely this is a case in point.

What, buy the club for £150m and sell the assets for £50m.  Not a very smart investor!

The amount of times I have heard we are going to be asset striped in the last 24 hours is amazing

But Franksy said tonight that people on social media are saying Hollis has got experience of working for companies involved in asset stripping.  Therefore it must be true then and worth continually repeating on air.

Tom Fox has got experience of working at Arsenal but we're not signing Theo Walcott.

[DaveD]

While I don't like an accountant being put in charge, the asset stripping story is pure fantasy.

If you could make more money from buying Aston Villa and selling off the pieces than running it as a going concern, Randy would either have no trouble selling it or have done it already himself.

Make no mistake about it - Randy and now Hollis are aiming to downsize the club to the point where our revenue covers our costs (or thereabouts). And we may fall a division or two before that equilibrium is reached, because we are now incredibly risk-averse in terms of player investment compared to our risk-seeking attitude in the MON years. But the pieces are still worth less than the whole, so I can't see a break-up happening.

I wasn't being serious Dave, just pointing out the latest drivel he has come out with.  Franks surely can't believe it can he?  Unfortunately some of the callers who appear on the show do seem like the types who would buy into that kind of story, in which case Franks is on a big wind up or scaremongering.  Neither of which are very appropriate really.
