I don't think you answered the questions that he asked.

Money is all relative. £50m now is a drop in the ocean compared to when Doug was here. All I would add is that during the PL years we have been largely a team competing for Europe. Yes there were some shit seasons but we recovered until those couple of seasons pre-MON. What we have now is 5-6 seasons of relegation and no hope of a recovery.

and another thing I don't and never did like Ellis, but lerner has used him as a roll model and then some, just saying like.

He's actually just about the exact opposite.

that's your opinion love
2 quick questions.

1. How much money did Doug put into or take out of the club during his time as owner?

2. How much money has Lerner put into or taken out of the club as owner?



Lerner has left us with a lost half decade (soon to be lost decade?) and arguably the worst side in our history. In the fourteen years before Lerner showed up we were competitive in the top flight and when we sold top players like Yorke reinvested the money on quality players.

Milner replaced by Ireland, Downing and Young by N'Zogbia, Benteke by Gestede???

These are awful, awful times for villa and as football fans we need to recognise that and park all the whataboutery.

The point wasn't about Lerner being a good or poor owner, there's no debate to be had. The point was in response to the assertion that Ellis was Lerner's role model, which would imply that their motivations and actions would mirror each other, which they palpably don't.

If footage of the fans 'questioning the integrity of the players' at Wycome today is seen by the club, I think there will be second thoughts of attending the AGM, by senior villa staff.

There won't be. The Trust and it's membership are well thought of amongst the hierarchy.

Protest : Tuesday night Vs Palace
19:00 - Mcgregor Statue - North Stand
22:00 - North Stand Outer Area

Well we have all just witnessed an embaressing 1-1 Draw away To Wycombe , yet another awful performance from our team.

This is where our club is heading if we as fans don't fight for the future of our club and fight now. The protest that is being organised for the Palace game is peaceful protest. The club is already in a state last thing we need is turning up and acting in the wrong manner.

Everyone of us wants our feeling and thoughts heard on Tuesday, so let's do it in the correct way. We as fans don't need any bad publicity, we have the most loyal and passionate fans in England let's not tarnish ourself's with ugly scenes.

We can get our points across as ONE. Loud chants, banners , flags etc . We don't need to punch , kick or spit at anyone or anything.

So hope to see a large crowd at this demo , let's start at getting our Villa Back!!!

There won't be a big crowd in the ground, never mind at the protest. I predict hardly anyone will turn up to the protest and it will all be a bit embarrassing.

They'll be over 30k there which is still bloody good considering...

Serious question - short of one of them having a spare £150 million, how will 'we' get 'our' Villa back?

Season ticket holders feel obliged to turn up and they're counted even if they don't anyway.
I'd hate us to start staying away like those losers from Small Heath. It's the easy option.

Talked to someone that works in the TO yesterday and they expect it to be less than 30K.
