In ten years...

[Jimbo]

In 2006, who among us would have believed that by 2016 we would be in the second division, owned by a Chinese man called Dr X, and with Steve Bruce as manager?

Where will we be in 2026? Your predictions, please...

[cdbearsfan]

We'll be shit.

In 2026 and for the rest of time.

[PeterWithesShin]

20th in the Intergalactic 3rd division and planning for Mars Rovers away. We'll draw 1-1.

[TopDeck113]

In the Premier League but with perhaps a bit of a yo-yo in the intervening years. 

We won't have won a major trophy in that period.

Playing for us will be a local lad who was initially the next big thing.  He got cut a lot of slack when the adoration rather went to his head before he hit 20.  He's now castigated for everything he does as he sits on his £5million-a-week contract.

The North Stand won't have been redeveloped.

Dr Xia sold us to another Chinese consortium and we're now owned by some shady Sino-Arabic leisure conglomerate...

... but all is not lost, as a cryogenically-preserved Doug is still chauffeur-driven to every away game as we await the bio-technology necessary to bring him back to life and lead a takeover. 

You won't be able to walk down Witton Lane without a virtual holographic Dave Woodhall trying to sell you a digital publication.

Struggling in the 4th tier with Gabby still under contract  as manager .

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Vying for top spot in the top division.

This will have nothing to do with quite a few English teams being in a European league instead.

[tony scott]

Getting used to New name West Midlands Villa following the Meltdown of The whole league Structure. Sky stopped their support
earlier, leading to collapse of Premier league and multiple bankruptcies. The 92 league teams have been replaced by 16 franchised regional teams in two eight team divisions I up 1 down we are in the top flight.

Out of business and shut down hopefully.

Tens of thousands of us are richer and living happier lives having the opportunity to spend more time with our families between August and May.

[Richard E]

We'll have finally won the FA Cup again. Yippee!!!!!!!!!

[aj2k77]

Still awaiting our first away win in nearly 4000 days. Grealish will be photo'd asleep in a gutter somewhere in benidorm, still waiting to fulfill his potential and Tshibola will have just celebrated playing his 100th game for us. Gabby will be fitness coach. We will be on our 22nd different manager, having gone through everyone and anyone who had managed Albion or the Rags in the previous 10 years.

[not3bad]

Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive

The road is long, there are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day (or draw again)

[Darlo Dave]

Dwight Yorke still won't have got a managers job.

[AvFc4eVeR]

Tony would have fulfilled his promise getting us back in the premier league at the second attempt with Bruce. But being the shrewd business type and with the astronomical TV rights moneys, he sold us a year later for £100m profit with us being safely mid table.

We were bought by an American consortium as by then it would be almost 3 pounds to the dollar and we were promised a five year plan....

[Clark W Griswold]

It will have been discovered that the Chinese consortiums that took over Villa, Albion, Wolves and Blues are all the same person, who turns out to be the leader of the Triads. Never the less, he is allowed to continue and merges the clubs to form West Midlands Alliance Athletic, and installs Diego Maradona as manager despite the fact that he's ballooned to over 35 stone and has a cocaine addiction. Nathan Baker has improved as a player since his lobotomy several years before and is now captain. Grealish is amazingly still being picked despite being a bit shit and being in the papers for a variety of offences over the years including GTA, arson, tax fraud and cottaging. We are 2 places above the relegation zone in the 3rd tier.

[MarkM]

We'll go again
