How Will We Do In The Championship?

[sirlordbaltimore]

Depends, as it stands now with no new owner, no manager, hardly a board, shit players i'd say we'll be lucky to even stay up

We've had 5 months head start on everyone else being relegated and we've done absolutely NOTHING with it as far as i can see. Totally unprepared in all departments

I fully concur. I dread to think what will happen if we don't get a new owner soon.

We are fucked. Simples. Agbonlawhore and his overpaid wanky cronies won't be anywhere near AVFC come August. We'll be stuck with the kids I'm afraid, the shite from over the road will no doubt kick us to bits, and christ even the dingles might even beat us, man.

Kick us to bits? 

We'll see soon enough.

We have had the chance to at least get started on preparation for life below, the only measure that seems to have been taken is letting the staff know there is going to be redundancy's.
Yes we may have a new owner awaiting, yes this may have an effect on who the new manager is, but as it is Aston Villa still under the man childs rule, we will again be reactive not proactive, we never ever seem to learn.

If we manage to cast adrift the rotten deadwood and get a lot of new faces into the first team, I'd go old school 4-4-2 with a couple pacy wide players banging it in for Gestede. Gotta come good with some decent service. Maybe something like:

New keeper

New rightback        Clarke/ Baker.    Okore.      New leftback


Traore.          Gardner.         Grealish.            New left/ mid


Ayew                  Gestede



With the exception of splashing some money on a decent keeper, I'd go loan deals along the lines of when we had Milner and Kyle walker on loan. 3 or 4 decent loan players with a point to prove, along with a new management and coaching team and we'd be halfway back to being in business.

I wonder which, if any of those current players above would step up for the captaincy?Assuming we don't sign the next Bryan Robson, I'd like to think one of those players could do the job, not sure who yet, though?

All bets are off if Lerner sells but that looks pretty unlikely, although it might sell STs to the gullible. I think that history is going to repeat itself I.e. Down to League 1 for a couple of seasons before the recovery starts. Could be quite a journey.

Are you saying all those who have renewed their season tickets are gullible?

[serbentoflight]

We'll finish 3rd, and lose the playoff semi final to Small Heath 2 -3 over two lets having been 2 - 0 up from the 1st leg at the sty.

Today takes Sean Dyche out of the reckoning.

Gullible? Or fans who will continue to support Aston Villa through thick and thin no matter who the owner is?

Correct.


And we are going to blitz the league because we are Aston bloody Villa. New owner, new players and a bit of optimism.

After watching the burnley - Qpr game yesterday I thought if burnley can get promoted with that team then surely we have a chance

To be gullible you have to believe the line spun to you - I'm renewing because this could be a fooking great season and if it's not I'll still be able to talk about it in decades to come.

i dont know how it works in the championship, but I hope we don't continue just taking the first allocation for away tickets, some of the grounds will be small anyway and we won't get a choice but there must be some bigger grounds we can pack the away section out

Pity MK Dons went down they gave you 6000-9000 if you wanted them, and it's only a 4 mile trip for me
