I would prefer us to stay at VP but willing to listen to other ideas. If it was possible, I would not only like VP to be developed into a 21st century stadium and keep its unique Victorian style, but integrate it fully into the local community with proper infrastructure that benefits all and encourages both small and larger investment.
In terms of design I love the old and new put together and have been indirectly involved in many projects that have been successful in reflecting heritage with exciting design and accessibility.
The key for me though, is not just the ground but the surrounding area. Man City's investment has been all about this and Aston is a far better opportunity than Eastlands.

I might print that out and put it in a frame on the mantelpiece next to the photos of the kids.

You need to find a frame big enough to put that screenshot next to an article from a July 2018 that has us at the mercy of the taxman, Wyness getting booted and Jack on the verge of being sold. You will be hard pressed see a bigger or quicker turnaround in financial fortunes in any sport anywhere in the world.

Nett spending we are even higher. Only Real Madrid above us I believe. I've just seen an interview with the Barcelona manager saying "we can't compete with the Aston Villas of this world".

Was going to say, we're 2nd only to Real Madrid in net spend ... and only €40m behind, so if it really is 2 more players in the pipeline ...

Sorry, it was an attempt at a jape. Was taking the piss out of O'Leary.

Like most of my references, it's a couple of decades old.
