The new owners seem to be in it for the long haul, going about building the club in the right way, from the youth team, to Bodymoor, and creating an identity which we haven't had for years. Smith is clearly core to that so he's going nowhere.

You're getting close to responding to yourself on this thread you're posting so much.It's just not worth getting that worked up about. We've been relegated before, with a much worse squad, a worse manager, a worse owner, and it really wasn't that bad.If you're not getting any enjoyment out of following the Villa (and there's no evidence on here to suggest you are) then you're better off trying something else with your time.So im not allowed to be upset with team that i have supported for over 30 years when they eprform like that?Its not just me posting so why you singling me out? Im sorry im not having a go at you mate. This situation we find ourself is hurtingYou talk about relegatikn but this team has such huge potential with jack mcginn and mings. If we go down it could destroy our club

I'm really not Rosey about going down as romantic as it was last season. We won't. If we go down, Grealish will go and give us a huge profit to book in the FFP calcs. The fact we've spent a year in the Prem will increase the level of FFP losses we're allowed, and we'll get another (up to) three years of parachute payments.The rest of the squad should remain - Mings and SJM are the only ones likely to be tempted to leave but McGinn's injury might dampen some of the demand and I genuinely believe Mings has a real affinity for the club so will give us the season to get promoted again.The new owners seem to be in it for the long haul, going about building the club in the right way, from the youth team, to Bodymoor, and creating an identity which we haven't had for years.

Life's too short.

Smith is clearly core to that so he's going nowhere.This kind of stuff is straight out of the prospectus though. What is the long haul? What is the right way? What identity are we trying to create? Why is Smith core to that if he's not good enough? It's all jam tomorrow bullshit.

Life's too short.Its not life or death for me but come on do you not get hurt seeing your club go through this again? That relegation almost killed us and we look like we have to go through it again next year. Im not giving up on the club.There are various posters on here that know me personally and know that when villa are doing well i am one happy SOB!
