Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[Risso]

Oh no it'll have nothing to do with that, it'll have all to do with their pathetic pound signs and their embarrassing "we have noticed with interest" press releases that they spout out every other week.
and do you know what, half of the tedious tossers don't even go and support the team.
Sad bastards, go and get a life and leave the rest of us to support the club.

The "pathetic" pound sign protest wasn't anything to do with VFC.  And how do you know who goes to the matches and who doesn't?

smart arsery

Who is this person?

[Laughing Gravity]

And how do you know who goes to the matches and who doesn't?

He knows lots of things, completion dates and other inside stuff.

Of course those signs had nothing to do with the VFC, of course they didn't.
As for not going the games, well pop over to Villatalk and ask how many of them are refusing to visit Villa Park untill Ellis leaves. You'll be surprised you know. Trust me.

To be fair, all of the VFC bigwigs have season tickets.

Apparently, they’re all in the Tilton Road End.

Did you note that with interest by any chance??

Superb!   :smt041

VFC has been going for just over 2 years to my knowledge, the £ sign protests were at least 4 years ago when Gregory was still manager. Some of the same people might have been involved in organising it, I don't know, but it was certainly well before the VFC came into being.

I thought as far as it went that was a succesful protest in that a large percentage of fans held them up and it got a lot of publicity. In hindsight it's easy to see that on it's own it wasn't going to achieve much but you don't know that until you give it a try.

It was very successful.

It brought attention to the fact that the Villa board thought it was OK to play defenders or crap loan players from lower divisions up front rather than spend money like our peers.

I thought it was great.

Aided by JG, iirc.

"20, 000 £ signs? What happened to the 30,000 that I handed out!"

or similar

The pound sign thing was by something called the VPL which, to my knowledge, has now been de-wedgied.

It didn't work because it led to Juampi joining.

Was there another pound sign protest after this?

[Dave Cooper please]

Yeah, I can see how saying

Everyone was pleased to win the derby against Birmingham on Sunday

would lead anybody to think that.

Selective quoting there Risso!

The full quote is:

"Everyone was pleased to win the derby against Birmingham on Sunday but overall the club is going to keep on going backwards unless it receives some big investment in the near future."

So on the day after the Derby victory while every other Villa fan was celebrating Fear just had to find a way to have a bash at Ellis, typical, predictable and completely pointless.
As someone has already pointed out, it's their timing that makes them so bloody irritating.

[Simon Page]

Name and shame the Fantastic Four Risso.

For the benefit of Laughing Gravity, I have never suggested VFC gives up. In fact, I'm happy to restate that I'd love to see them keep going for years. And I'd back their right to do so regardless.

However, if you live in the public eye, promoting a political campaign, you should be able to handle criticism (which they are about 50/50 on) and answer questions (which they just don't). While they're still around, I'll still express an opinion and ask questions. That okay with you?

[Laughing Gravity]

Excellent Simon.

Whether you agree with the timing or not, I still can't see how any person of sound mind could form the conclusion that Jon Fear was unhappy at the team winning.  All he pointed out was that one win over Small Heath didn't suddenly mean all our problems were sorted out.
