Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[dave.woodhall]

Yes, I know that but my point is why compare the "Comers Villa" to Ambramovich's Chelsea, we'll never be on that road.

You never know. With a bit of money and an inspirational choice of manager, you never know.

Well I'm definitely worried about the future of the club vis-a-vis the division we'll be playing in. That was crap last night. Oh, and I've decided to post every reply I'm making on this thread. The fans are starting to leave the ground and I'm 95 not out.

Good luck Peter, let's hope you reach your ton before I log in again tomorrow morning. Work is finished and I'm off home, via the Physio (maybe he can get a job at Villa, he would have enough work to do).  :smt002

[peter w]

Shit, the umpire called one run short! Never. Now, I'm back to 94.

[peter w]

Not sure when it is that we play Doncaster, but is anyone at all confident that we'll get a  result there? They beat man City at home so they'll be up for this one. More doom and gloom. I'm worried. About our future in the League Cup.

I'm worried to Peter you just know those buggers from Sky will put it on live and that will be us cursed.  Not far off the ton now Pete.

[peter w]

I even had to get up at 1 this morning to watch that shite. Really was painful. Wish Sky would leave us alone. The problem being worse here because we get more live games, I can't avoid seeing us most of the time. Itys like being forced to have a season ticket.

Yeah, I'm content to do the Boycott strategy of just taking my time here. Don't want tp play any expansive shots and let it slip before the ton. Step by step.

Bearing in mind what started this thread, if Doug sells AND we go down, would fans have been right to worry about relegation, but wrong to worry about Doug staying on? Or would it still be Doug's fault for being on the board of Blues and not having a sell on clause in the Crouch sale?

[peter w]

In all seriousness, I tried to raise this point, I think on page 71, that why are we worried about a take over when this team may be in the division below? If their is to be a takeover it will be some months down the line. Players will be unsettled. Or should that be playing crap and unsettled, the manager will be unsettled, not fired. So we may have money. Whoopy fucking do when we're in the Championship. We need to sort out the playing side first and worry about Douglarse second. So VFC will disband, go home happy when in April/May the takeovers finally announced? Will we have 'This is a great day for the future of Aston Villa football club'? as we head down. Of course not, so why the frig are they, we giving more than a passing nod to takovers. I really am worried. That this shower of shit will not be in the Prem next season. Irishmen or Doug at the helm.

[Simon Page]

Ah but a takeover gives us a sense of the unknown and room for both hope and fear. Football is predictable.

I can't remember the last time I was worried about relegation. I think it might have been under Venglos or possibly 88/9. Of course it could happen, I just don't think it will. Not that we're too good to go down, just not bad enough. In fact, we're not anything enough to do anything.

On the bright side though, we haven't got bird flu yet.  \/

[peter w]

Yeah, but I'm worried about that too.

The last time I thought we were going down was under GT. As I remember West Ham were winning and we were drawing 0-0 with already down Sunderland with 10 minutes to go. If it'd have stayed like that then we would have had to go to Leeds on the last day to win to stay up. We were 10 mins from relegation.

The takeover gives me the hope that VFC will disappear, but come back under a new guise...

You know,
                " It's noted with interest, that under our new Irish Overlords that they have taken Villa down into the Championship instead of the Champions League where we belong. They have been here for one week and already destroyed this football club. How can they be expected to make credible decisions with a combined age of 92? What happens if they both die? They had serious suggary tea this morning, and we are only thinking about them. Our spokeman Don Gere-Corleone speaks for all Villa fans and these people will sleep with the fishes unless they do the right thing and sell the club".

[Simon Page]

Maybe we should start a sweep on how long it is before the first Comer Out rumblings. I reckon towards the end of the third season, so I'll take 951 days after the first game with them in charge.

[peter w]

Well if Jon Fear et al are egoists, then surely it won't take that long. I'll wager that which ever one of the VFC lot are an only child, they'll be the one to break first. So, I'll give it 27 days.

[Simon Page]

If "rumblings" actually means "press release", you've won the money. The thing is, I've never known a popular Villa chairman. Come to think of it, I've only known of two popular Villa board members. In fact, that's pushing it as one was kind of ignored and the other split opinion. I think I'll have another pound on 12 minutes.

[peter w]

I really am awaiting their glee at the takeover when we're looking doomed to relegation. A masochistic kind of irony.
