AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

Does anybody know which Guardian podcasts the McLeish bit is in and how far into it the slating is?

[Ian.]

Great, £50M. Now we can buy Carroll and Downing from Liverpool. Maybe swap Bent for Carroll so we still have the money to get in Henry to add the steal we need.

[Woody]

"We are losing fans/customers at an alarming rate. I am very concerned that fans are voting with their feet and not attending, not purchasing and not engaging with the club."

Letter from sacked BRFC CEO to Venkys

Has Paul written a similar letter to Randy?

Can't see him leaving NY Red Bull to come to us.

This Monday's about 10 minutes in. Scathing stuff.

Just listened to it - "McLeish is turning Villa into everyone's least favourite team."

Can't disagree.

As a Villa fan it makes uncomfortable listening but they go to the effort of pointing out that Mcleish is the problem. It's a relief to hear the media having some empathy for us rather than trotting out the Blose connection. They all seem to think that it's unconceivable that he'll be here next season.

They've been saying similar for most of the season.

I've never heard them trot out the Blues nonsense.

50m warchest? Larf. It that was true you'd have to wonder what the last 2 seasons was about if we're suddenly going into massive debt again. Sadly Henry sounds about right. Classic Villa ploy buying from relegated teams

Unexpectedly chipper stuff there greg.

[Greg N'Ash]

Just saying.. the next accounts will probably still be in 20-25m pound loss bracket, so he's gonna spend 50m and put us in line for a loss to rival the last one?? Don't make sense to me.

[Dr.Feelgood]

only just got in, so apologies if you've already seen this... (Daily Mail piece). He's talking NEXT Season.!!??

Agree. The debt/write offs over the last 2 years was front loaded and the income generated so I expected more or less a break even figure (max 15m loss due to reduced match day/ league position prize money this season and next).
Logic suggests there should be dozens of Bosman bargains at the end of next season from other clubs who can be paid 40% of what they are currently on once FFP kicks in. Not that Logic has ever played much of a part in football.

[Greg N'Ash]

aye. not forgetting we're gonna pick up precious little league placing money this year. 4m or thereabouts i think and god knows what the season tickets will be like or whether SKY will ask not to show us out of pity to their subscription holders. When you cut back as drastically as we have,it's bound to have a knock-on effect with revenues.
