Tom Fox's meeting with Supporters

[Villa in Denmark]

Joey Barton talking sense on 5 live just now.  Says Fox and Lerner are muppets who shouldn't be near a great club like Aston Villa.

Pat Murphy now talking how Tony Barton did our scouting so successfully compared to the way we are set up now.

Mommy, mommy I want my club back.

To be fair back then you'd got 91 clubs with squads of 17 or 18 to keep track of.

These days you've got the whole world to try and sort out if you want decent talent at sensible prices unless you can afford to be a top feeder like Mancs x 2 & Chelsea, Bayern München and Barcelona / Real Madrid.  Not even the big Italian clubs can really afford to do it that way any more.

I'd say the that the problem has been we're only now getting anything approaching the right set up in place.  There may well be issues with the individuals in those roles, but the basic template is one we should have had during Doug's time.

Unfortunately we went from Doug's vanity project to MON's personal fiefdom to complete freefall to get here.  There's plenty of discussion how well the club has or hasn't been run over the years on other threads without filling this one as well.

Driving tonight and put 5 live on and I thought "who's this Scouse bloke talking about us?" Turns out it was Joey Barton. For what it's worth I thought he made some good fair points. Especially the bit where he says the club is being run by 'muppets'

Pat Murphy also on and as a favourite son of this parish couldn't help but do his 'quite pleased with himself, Midlands BBC reporter Randy won't speak to me routine'

It also won't look too smart that he's managed to reduce our turnover by around £45m in one season. Is this the something special he's been working on?

but dont forget we have a new shirt deal

With Henson.

I wouldn't take Joey Barton seriously if he told me Villa are bottom of the table and a sure bet for relegation. He's a fucking roach of the greatest order and his words mean shit.

Need to get Nicola Cortese in as chairman asap to repeat the job he did at Southampton

Does she go to away games?

No, think that's Nicky Keye.

I would sooner listen to Joey Barton than that fool Pat Murphy.

One of the very few benefits of us going down is Pat Murphy wont be talking about us any more.

I'll miss Pat Murphy if this is the case. I loved the way they ripped into Fox on radio 5 last night.

I'm in 2 minds about signing this. Kneejerk reaction says sign.   Sensible me says wait till the meeting, but my knee is getting sore banging on my desk.

One of the few benefits of us going down is that nobody will be talking about us!.
 Not having to listen to the ' in depth ' criticism ( or what passes for )  of Shearer, Wright, Savage et al t makes relegation seem an almost welcome. relief......well, almost !

We'll have to put up with that fucking idiot, George Riley, and Kelly Dalglish on the C5 Football League Show. And Claridge and Leory Rossenior on Sky. Jesus, it's beginning to sink in....

Is it not Saint and Greavsie anymore then?

While I hate to use the phrase 'false narrative', when will the media get past Sherwood's version of their 'truth'. The business we did over the summer is not the problem, Ayew, Veretout, Amavi (when he was fit), and Traore (though only fitfully) have been the only bright sparks throughout the entire season.

We're going down because of the likes of Guzan, Bacuna, Richardson, Richards, Hutton, Sanchez, Agbonlahor, N'Zogbia, Cole, Senderos, and all the other useless suspects. You can't blame Reilly and Almstadt for the fact that the rest of the squad weren't good enough in the first place, only Randy.

Fox is obviously a buffoon in CEO's clothing, overpaid, over-promoted and over here...And since when did Nigel Pearson become the fucking messiah!

[kippaxvilla2]

Of course the other thing to consider is the inordinate amount of matches that will be moved for television.  Remember 'Walsall on a Friday night?'

Will will be the main match on Star Soccer again - or will it always be Derby?
