Bloody hell!!!! The makers of Football Manager have lost all credibility after simulating us to get NINE points from our last 4 games!!!!!http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/25/football-manager-predicts-how-the-season-will-end
Quote from: curiousorange on April 20, 2014, 11:06:41 PMI'm still extremely wary of a takeover even after all this terrible football. There have been too many Yeungs, Tans and Gaydamaks to feel entirely comfortable. True, but none of them spent £200m just to start playing the game.And any buyers would be buying from someone who'd spent nigh on a quarter of a billion pounds and failed to make it work, so they'd be under no illusions about the cash required.It'd be telling if we did get taken over by a billionaire for a second time, though, whilst the likes of Everton go totally ignored.

Don't know how true it is.
Quote from: citizenDJ on April 25, 2014, 01:07:04 PMDo you know, I think with all the bru-ha-ha about takeovers and whatnot, I'd managed to miss just how near we are to disaster! The following is from Football365;QuoteAston VillaIt really isn't fun being a Villa fan right now. Since May last year they have won consecutive matches on only one occasion, it's now six victories since September and since December alone have suffered defeats to Stoke (twice), Crystal Palace (twice), Manchester United (twice) Fulham (twice), Sheffield United, West Ham, Newcastle, Arsenal and Everton. They have also failed to score more than one goal in each of their last six games (and just 3 of their last 21 matches).What's more, Paul Lambert's side are being dragged into a relegation battle they have been lucky to keep at arm's length given their woeful form. Lose to Swansea on Saturday and they could be two points from relegation with three games remaining, the entire bottom three still able to catch them.With visits to White Hart Lane and the Etihad in their final two matches, Villa could well be the team dragged into the mire. Given the mind-numbing nature of their football of late, it would be difficult to have too much sympathy.Now I'm a paid up member of the miserable pessimists club, so much so that I don't expect us to get another point all season. However, this analysis trumps my Brummy miserableness. Firstly, he's forgotten we also have Hull to play. Secondly, that scenario of us being two points off the bottom also requires Norwich to beat a (hopefully) regenerated Man Utd at Old Trafford. It doesn't make any of this comfortable, it certainly doesn't make it right, but things aren't quite as dire as that. I think we'll scrape over without getting another point. I also believe we will. E relegate next year.
