Have the club accepted relegation?

[Nev]

Had a good chat with a fellow Villa fan this morning about which away games we will go to in the Championship. In a weird way it cheered us up.

Acceptance.

Loving it!!

We need to purge the club.

The CEO needs to be executed for crimes against the revolution. A true leader installed and a Villa man who knows the club, cares for the club and knows the game to be a conduit between the CEO and a new manager. Lambert obviously requires a good purging also for crimes of staggering tactical ineptitude.

Then the players. The great kulak horders of wealth and offerers of much shitness, this class must be liquidated. Bannan should be placed in a trebuchet with a group of angry badgers, some with TB and some without. He should be fired towards Northfield.

Clark, Bennett, Albrighton, Holman, Given and others should be cleansed from the club. Maybe a dunking in the cut. If they float, then they are witches and should be burnt with fire. If they sink, then so what.

As for Lerner, well, Kaiser Sosa

Far too cruel.  Northfield!!!??

After last night, the thought of Friday Night Football fills me with dread.

[Fernando Partridge]

Haven't we all accepted it yet?

NO ! UTV and i hope the players and lambo dont have such a defeatest attitude. Still have plenty to play for and we are not even in the bottom 3! I just wonder with a thread like this what people will be like if we do stay up. Those comments Lambert made make sense. He also said we wont go down and that he is no quitter. UTV      

[martin o`who??]

NO!

I think the club seems to have accepted the possibility of it but not that they should be doing anything to prevent it.

[brian green]

Show me the evidence that they have not accepted the inevitability of relegation.

Theres seems to be a 'what will be will be' vibe from the club now. A few signings would show they're going to fight it.

Look at all the players we have invested in this transfer window...

Show me the evidence that they have.

They appear to have accepted that it's a possibility but any 'evidence' you present will be your own interpretation.

The lack of signings so far, in a window where we definitely need new blood, suggests it.

The comments from the manger re the likelihood of new signings, too.

I think they're expecting to go down and accordingly have decided not to spend on new players.

Indeed. Somewhat performative thinking, it has to be said. It's also fecking stupid.

I agree that's one way of looking at it, but it's still just an interpretation when Brian was talking about 'evidence'. I think they've been so stung by the problem of having expensive, non contributing players on the books that they've now gone to almost the opposite extreme. I think they've accepted it as a possibility but, as we have before, that we can get out of it without putting any additional strain on finances.
