Tom Fox's meeting with Supporters

[dave.woodhall]

Because that is what GM's is for here and for AVST members with my other hat on.

I'm a former member of both. I suppose an update for such a person is out of the question? It's not like current members of both get the info twice.

Every time there's a meeting like this we get the same "I demand to be told" statements. There is no official them and us-ism on here. If you donate to the site you get access to another forum and if a member wants to divulge something in there that they don't want to say in public I'm fine with that but I wouldn't ask them to do anything one way or the other. If the Trust want to say anything to their members or nothing at all it's up to their board to decide.

Pardon?

I think it was a hiccough.

He said 'cocks'.

Quite why I don't know although I think Toutettes is a terrible affliction and we should be more understanding of sufferers.

[bertlambshank]

I think he is lost from the 5 letter thread.

[cheltenhamlion]

I should probably add that my comments were a guesstimate on how Joe C would share the news. I was there for The Trust, not here, so was always going to pen their presser before discussing it.

tis the season to be jolly :-)

He's been very quiet this season hasn't he. Taxi for Tom, doing a terrible job or are points a false narrative?

Didn't he say just a couple of weeks ago that they were "building something special" at Villa?
What little respect I had left for him vanished after he insulted us with that one.

It is pretty special to go 19 games in to a season and have 0 home wins and only 8 points. In fact it's only been done a couple of times in history hasn't it? So in that regard, yes, being so consistently shit is a special achievement only planks like Lerner, Fox and Reilly could accomplish, the triumvirate of fuckwits.

[Risso]

I wonder where we are in the Deloitte money league or whatever it was they used to get so excited about.

They wanted to get us financially stable for a spell in the championship

I missed this from two weeks ago, and didn't see it posted here, but I just read this (17th Dec) and it made me want to throw the fucking laptop out of the window.

Aston Villa: It's easy to look just at table, says chief executive Tom Fox

Aston Villa chief executive Tom Fox says that the club might currently be bottom of the Premier League but they are doing well commercially.

"It's easy to look just at the table," he told BBC WM 95.6. "It's clearly not where went to be and it's not good enough. We live and die by the results.

"But I look at everything. We've generated more revenue on both our shirt and kit deals and in our ability to control costs. We're making progress there.

"Bringing (director of recruiting) Paddy Reilly back to the club before I came in was something (owner) Randy Lerner thought was important. We're developing a network of scouts which the club have never had before to look into European football markets and I was pleased that we were able to attract someone of (sporting director) Hendrik Almstadt's quality from a great club like Arsenal."

Where can you even start with delusional shit like this?

[Legion]

We're getting what we deserve

[bertlambshank]

Looks like Fox is blaming Randy for bringing Reilly in.
The culture at Villa Park of ''It's not my fault' isn't any surprise if the owner can't find his own way there.

This is why there needs to be protests.  The whole set up from Lerner down stinks to high Heaven.  There is no straightforward communication or target setting from the club.  There is no direction it's just all a foggy, shambolic  mess.  I really do feel we are in far greater trouble than we were in '87.
