Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[Oscar Goldman]

I’m not sure to which section of the Villa community I belong.  

Is there an enthusiastic supporter of the team section?

Now that group does seem to be dwindling.

Would that be Old Blue Nose Naz?

I only ever remember seeing the term "Fans' Chief" in one piece, and read on another site that Jon was embarrassed by it.

Even if I believe that that was his only feeling, how long was it before he spoke to the tosser that wrote it again?

I think it was less that 2 weeks.

That's how embarressed and outraged he was.  =;

Did the term get used again by the same journo?

Can't remember. He always writes using the generic term "Villa Fans" as in "Villa Fans Think Ellis Smells". There's probably very little Jon Fear can do about it and as the hack in question writes the copy which appears on all the outlets in which VFC gets mentioned, I'm sure it will continue. The alternative is probably no press coverage, unless John Curtis can be encouraged to write "Fans Group".

Now, does that list of two years ago still apply?

The list from the website, largely applies - VFC is an "amalgamation" of  shareholders and supporters seems a pretty fair description to me. Given that there are no actual members as such. I'm sure we've done this one before. If only the website didn't keep changing and disappearing we could all just do that "I refer the gentleman to the naswer I gave 6 months, 12 months, 18 months etc ago.

When VFC was set up, as you know I wasn't involved at that time, so won't comment on the original "description" and have no wish to go over old ground again, as entertaining as it may be for some.

Sorry for the delay, I haven't read every post on this very long thread, nor am I going to.

Also I have a life*/pathetic existence sustained only by a loathing of Ellis and inability to take on board any criticism or comment* to lead.

*delete as suits your preconcieved view.

Have you asked Risso’s permission?

Pete, it may seem petty to you. Indeed, it may be petty for some, but I don't ask to score points. If for no other reason, VFC should be concerned about openness because the lack of it is one of the sticks used to beat Doug.

VillaTalk and John Cresswell claim not to be anything to do with VFC (save the former having more pro posters than, say, H&V and the latter generally agreeing). I have no reason to doubt them. So does "largely" mean everyone on the list except VillaTalk/JC?

Bearing in mind VFC's existence is solely a mediated one, do you not see the importance of this?

I can't find my form.....

I never had a renewal form either.

I did get one, I just put it with stuff to do, like my renewal of membership for the Institute of Maths and its Applications..........

I'll get me coat.

[Dave Cooper please]

I agree with Laughing Gravity. The Trust PR does appear to be claiming that the Trust wishes to decide whether...good for ALL supporters.

It may not be what was intended to be said, but it's how it comes across. Honestly, it does.
.

I read it as the ST being keen that all supporters retain the right to be shareholders if the club goes private.

I don't think that's what they were getting at, as it's impossible.

No it isn't, I hold shares in Tamworth FC, they are not a PLC, their shares are not quoted on the stock exchange but I am still a shareholder.

I wrote to Jonathan Fear back in march and asked if he got permission for using Terry's name in the leaflets they handed out, to quote his reply "I am not answerable to people like you.", so I wrote and asked again and he replied "I couldn't care what you want.  I don't trust you, I don't like you and I don't answer to you."
