Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[Red Robbo]

Especially for Simon, the Fantastic Four (with tongue mostly in cheek):

Mister Fantastic - Dave Woodhall, he bends this way, he bends that way!

The Invisible Woman - Disco Stu, disappears before your very eyes!  For days at a time!

The Human Torch - Ian Robinson, Flame on!  Flame!  Flame!  Flame!

The Thing - Mac McColgan, the ginger clobberer!

I'm tourched.

What are the plans if Ellis is unable to do his job.

You mean if, for example, he undergoes major surgery?

His heart troubles should be a warning sign to Ellis that running the club, at nearly 82 years old - re-taking on the joint CEO/Chairman role, to boot - is beneficial neither to him or the club. He should step down permanently. Now.

Or is that ageist, etc?

Since when have you felt so strongly over this?

For quite while now, Simon

I don't mind if people, don't feel the same way. I don't mind if they criticise me for saying it. As long as the criticism is even handed, then I should be able to stand behind what I say, or as a VFC person, what Jonathan says in my name (in effect).

I do think an element of this thread has been based not so much on what is said, but who says it. And some of the accusations made about Jonathan have used distortion, or innacuracies to then have a go at him on a false premise.

VFC threads seem to gather a lot of posts, simply because it's the VFC saying it. If it was someone else, then it would pass with little or no comment. Double edged sword I suppose. C'est la vie

I'm sure that if any other group were as controversial in what they say and the way that they say it, they would also inspire debate.

It is, as you say, a double-edged sword. What a pity that VFC's spokesman doesn't see matters in the same way.

This is a classic example of the blinkered VFC line. Your beloved chairman has recently stated that the appointment of a new CEO has been put on hold, as it would be a pointless exercise bringing in a new man should the impending takeover be successful. Ellis has said the offer is very interesting, hinting that for him, he's happy with it. It looks like it could well happen, yet those at VFC want him to step down "now".

Sorry Pete, I understand your frustration but you sound like naughty, spoilt children who can't get their own way.

[SteveD]

Yes, still yelling Ellis Out when he's close to packing the photos on his desk. Still more bothered about him leaving than - far more relevant to any right-thinking Villa fan -  who might be coming through the door to replace him.

The thing that pisses me off no end, is that I have 1700 posts under my belt, fairly respectable/sad/whatever and have only lit up 4 of my muppet fellas. Mac, with his bloody 600/700 posts has lit the the whole lot up like a fucking christmas tree! Have a word. I demand a frigging recount, or to make me a muppet forthwith.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Only 31 pages and now unlikely to get to 100.
I'm very disappointed, people.

I'm not. Fletch you're a shit of the highest order. You and VFC are fellow bedwetters who demand this that and the other deserve the contempt you are royally treated with. Erm, keep right on and other such stirring things....

[Rip Van We Go Again]

That's the spirit Peter.
Also, I happen to know for a fact that 14 posters on here are Blues fans. What about that eh?
Their names will be revealed when we hit page 100.

[TheFamousAVFloodlights]

Yeah, and Angel is shit.

And I like the design of the new Trinity.

[Chris Smith]

Anyone else agree that Paul McGrath was overrated?

Think that would be a struggle -  now Robbie Williams  [-X

[Dave Cooper please]

I'm a Blues fan, I especially like the white crumbly ones, you don't see too many of those these days.

How about "I think the Supporters Trust are overrated"

Actually, I don't, but I can't find my renewal form.
