Pure Fantasy this one.....If SB goes, guess who appears after Doc T sells up?

Value consortium support, Fan / Supporter ownership / involvement, more realistic aspirations - why go up to be guaranteed to lose 12 games? Free of the shackles of Tarquinism, Mr A Wenger rocks up and organises all of the sports science in the club to get fit lads playing fast flowing festival football. The Multi Łk pw players are gone, and for a couple of seasons we play exciting footy, becoming a bit of a 'bandit' club, capable of taking any prem scalp in the cups. As we develop to be faster and more fluid, we add in a couple (only a couple) of wise heads say a GK, and one in the back 4, and our academey has produced a 9, 10 and 2 quality wingers.

Then we are ready to go up and take on the world. Wenger as a purist is happy, and the money game has been largely avoided. We have a succession plan to take it forward from there.

UTV ..  haven't been drinking or dreaming!!

I met Peter Withe yesterday, cuddled the European Cup and remembered when Villa ruled Europe. I was only seven when it happened, but I remember it all so well. And nobody will ever take those memories from me.

My shiny new desktop background is making me very positive right now.

Something positive;

Even if losing Hutton, Terry and Grealish, we still have a squad good enough to get out of the championship.

The youngsters coming through, many are very decent players.

Davis, only 20 yrs old had a great season and looks strong.
Bree, only 20 yrs old is a player to watch next season, hopefully will come in for Hutton.
Suliman, only 20 yrs old, surely a player worthy of a place on the bench next season?
Sarkic, only 20yrs old, got to be our no'2 next season pushing for a no'1 spot?
Green, only 19 yrs old, good enough for a run in the 1st team?

Hepburn-Murphy too. Would really like to see what he can do given an injury free run and a chance.

And the forgotten man - who had a good loan at Crewe - who I rate quite highly - and who has a (small) touch of the Grealish about him

Harry McKirdy only 21 years old

Yes he needs to step up next year so we can sell
him the year after 🤔

So, we've won the opening three competitive fixtures in a season for the first time in my lifetime (and a bit longer than that too).

Given I've been on this planet for 47 bloody years that's a crap record to break!

Anyway, despite not looking great, despite it being in Division 2 and a cup match against a Division 4 side, we've won them all so far. Maybe, just maybe we're on the way back.

And I love the fact that it very much "under the radar" so far whilst the press spunk over the likes of Leeds
