Some of you may be aware of Swiss Ramble, who is about the best commentator on football finance around. Although almost a year old, the enclosed link is as detailed and balanced an assessment of our woes as I have seen:

Good question. Has anybody on this site heard of the Swiss Ramble? Not sure it's ever come up.

Titus Bramble's Swiss cousin?

Hmm. Hardly an in-depth expose from a Board insider. Quite light on actual detail and the Club don't appear to have been given an opportunity to comment.

That may be the case but it certainly wouldn't surprise me and the board haven't  done  or said anything recently to convince that this isn't the case. They are given the exact impression that they couldn't care less

As I said before it is a real shame that ordinary hard working staff at villa will be the ones to suffer most from our relegation while the idiots who brought us to this place continue to earn a great wage.

Tom Fox should resign after A) hiring Sherwood from a 'short-list of one'
                                            B) Not making sure Benteke was adequately replaced.
                                            C) Not backing Garde on the deals he had agreed in January after a clear revival in our form.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. So unfair on those threatened with redundancy if those who bear responsibility for our plight get off scot-free.

You can imagine how objective a Paul Franks interview would be. This is sharks scenting blood as you'd expect better from a local newspaper.

Vis-a-vis the VP Staff Redundancy Thread:


She'll be the one who came in to make the tea, tidy the office and do sweet FA the rest of the time.

When the club comments it's usually foot in mouth time anyway, I've given up long ago waiting to hear anything good come from their mouths.

"but I certainly won't be working there again."

You can say that again, Elaine!
