Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[peter w]

I still feel that we haven't clicked yet. We showed what we can do in the last few games of last season. The season finished 5 games too early for us. If we can click into gear sooner rather than later we'll gallop up the table. Otherwise we'll tread water again. Which will put us on the back foot through the summer. And MON may well be sweating also.

Agree,  I think the minimum for this season is Uefa qualification as we'd be 2 years into the so called '5 year plan' with no real progress and to be challenging for the Champions league 3 years after this season, then Uefa is the minimum for this season

[peter w]

As i said at the start of the season, if we don't get close to Europe position wise then i think MON will be under enormous pressure. However, I do think we are good enough to get there.

[OCD]

I thought this was the 'worried' thread?

[JD]

We are worried OCD. We are only 4 points away from 4th place with a game in hand and we are worried that we now may have to get into Europe.

I agree, if we qualify for Europe we can attract better players and move on. If not, we may be in danger of stagnating or missing our opportunity.

Easy peter, mix your metaphors like that and i'm worried you'll regret it in the morning

I can see that players would be attracted by teams playing in the Champions League but I wonder if they are that arsed about playing in the UEFA cup in front of two thousand nazis in some godforsaken ex-Soviet enclave. Or Blackburn.

[ROBBO]

Happy to be back.

[peter w]

The UEFA Cup does attract players. What got a player as good as Berbatov to Spurs? European football with the impetus of ambition. If we can match European football with the ambition seemingly being shopwn then my similes will be like a metaphor galloping towards a bright horizon.

The bright lights of London and £60k a week?

[JD]

Yeah, but Tottenham?

[IFWaters]

I AM WORRIED

That McClown will get the sack and MON will get the England job

[JD]

I don't think MO'N will leave Villa for the England job, but it is a worry that his name is being linked. It's being done to unsettle Villa's surge up the table I tell you.  ](*,)

[ROBBO]

I am not a gambling man ( I would worry too much) but if i were there's nothing more certain than MON staying at Villa if he were to leave however i believe we are now in the position of attracting the best managers going. So get back to worrying about more important things.
