Unfortunately not. There was a cut off point a few days back if I remember correctly.

Doesn't sound like Hollis and Fox are saying much to satisfy people at the AGM given the remarks appearing on twitter.  Hollis referring to the fans as "customers".

Isn't that blog run by the bloke who's complained about the Trust before?

Yes. Like me he holds the trust in low esteem. But I do not think he slams them at all in that article does he?

edit: yeah he does (in the title). My mistake. Still the main thrust is (rightfully) picking apart the clubs responses to the questions.

SH didn't actually refer to Villa fans as 'customers'. He was referring to former businesses he ran and their customers

After picking apart all of the answers, he ends with this:

"So yeah, I can't disagree with many of the answers, but the business lingo used so well by Tom Fox and Steve Hollis will not endear them to a hostile audience."

So he doesn't disagree with many of the answers but has picked them all apart and called it a disaster.

That's so badly written, he shouldn't have bothered.

[LTA]

According to Fox, Garde is happy with the squad he has?

I find that very hard to believe.

[Malandro]

“You see some clubs above us spending crazy money on average talent, they are rolling the dice.”

Fox, football expert.

Fox, football expert.

Is he wrong? 14m for Andros Townsend, 12m for Shelvey, 7m for Grabban.

[tomd2103]

Although the context in which they were made is not included, some of the comments attributed to Fox speak volumes.  He seems unable and unwilling to admit that he has got things badly wrong and the line about not being willing to spend money is almost an admittance that we are down already.  I think many of us accept that is the case, but I would hope to hear a little more ambition from those running the club.

Fans have said for weeks we are down and should plan accordingly now the board say it and they are just giving up...

Players won't come where we are and signing likes of Naismith for close to 10 mil is a big gamble.Should be remembered 3 teams go down so 2 of those clubs  spending huge sums is going down and will have to deal with the financial fall out
