The Owners
« on: December 22, 2019, 01:00:26 PM »
We've heard from Smith himself, the media, purslow etc that the owners are super rich so now is the time to see if they are serious about the club. Everton (always considered them to be about same level as us) have just gone out and brought in a very expensive world class manager who will be backed.

We have DS a nice guy and villa fan who has managed only Brentford and Walsall and is failing to adapt to the Premier League, we either accept we're now a Championship club or act like the big boys they say we are

Considering how much money they have ploughed into the club so far, I'd suggest they are very serious about it.

You don't know if the owners are "serious about the club"?

Jesus fucking Christ.

Put in hundreds of millions and be told to put in more or sell to someone who will. Take out tens of millions and become Mr Aston Villa. What a strange world we live in.

After everything they've done, you're not convinced?

I suppose if they can the manager you've been slagging off for God knows how long, that will convince you yeah??

If they make the changes to keep us in the Premier league and invest in players and a manager capable of beating teams like Southampton at home I'll be convinced

That's great. Can we close the thread now?

Literally dragging the club from the abyss of Xia and Wyness.

Pumping in ridiculous amounts just to carry on.

Putting in a whole new infrastructure, plans for the ground redevelopment. An off the pitch team we've never seen before.

But as long as they sack a manager you've never liked because we didn't win a game yesterday, you'll be convinced they're serious?

I'll ask you again, regardless of your obvious thoughts on the manager, you're not convinced after everything they've done, they're serious??

They have spent hundreds of millions in the 18 months they've owned the club and you aren't convinced?

I guess Flintstone is either not being serious or a bit dim. Such a ridiclous thread. Thanks to them,  we still have a club and one in the Premier League.

Is simply spending money enough, or would you want to see some evidence that they know what they're doing as well?  Even Xia outspent most other clubs at our level when he first arrived.  I'm not remotely comparing the two regimes, but we do need to see a response from the owners this January.  If not in a managerial replacement, then at least in some acquisitions to give him a chance.

It seems a bit premature to start questioning the owners.
