Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[peter w]

Totally agree JD. However, it is clear that if there is no takeover, and I don't think there are many people left who think that there is, then Doug will not open his pension for us to spend. So, if we are to try and reinvest into the team then we need to sell those that will give us decent money. A good World Cup could see us sell Baros for £10m, Mellberg for about £4-£5m tops. £15m to spend would be enough to see us get a couple of decent players plus 1 or two extra squad players.

[JD]

But can you trust the Snub Nosed One to spend the said 15 million wisely and bring us glory?  :-
Thought not.  O:)  

If we had a new Manager, say Curbs or O'Neill, then I would feel confident that if Mellberg & Baros left then they would be replaced by players (maybe more than 3) that would improve our squad and make our future better.

[peter w]

Yeah, that's the only worry. But I'm working under the impression that O leary will have gone. Optimism I know and theres no room for that on this thread.

[peter w]

Ah, tis a sad day when I have to log on in the day time dandies hours and find that they completely igmore the one thread where we can all share our angst. Legion you used to pop in every now and then, but even you have abandoned us.

I'll put it down to it being the silly season. One game left no-one gives a shite. More reason to be worried in my eyes. The lethargy and apathy that is a byword-or words-for Aston Villa have resurfaced.

Is it only me or have the rumblings that have been coming out of VP regarding the manager and chairman still being ere come the start of the new season relly disheartened us all? Yes I know we'll get lots of "No, fuck 'em there gone" type posts, but do we really believe it? Really?

Maybe its because I'm miles away and can only pick up drips of info but I'm already starting to feel disillusioned about next season. Chris's belief that O Leary will be given at least until christmas will relegate us. As I said before this is shades of 86-87.we survive the season before by the skin of our teeth whilst the A lbion and the Shit go down. The foolowing year the manager was replaced in September following a 6-0 thrashing at Forest, and a 4-1 thumping at home to Norwich. Not unforseeable to think this lot and this manager will be involved in us being thrashed next season is it? Then are options are limited. A club that has a downward momentum and a losing mentality is difficult to shake up. Nigh on impossible.

Worried? You bet. I think the next few weeks will shape our next season. We cannot afford to do noyhing. Ellis cannot afford to leave O Leary in charge. We, as a club, cannot afford to keep Ellis in charge for too much longer. We are decaying before our very eyes. Do they not care?

I'm a bit busy at the moment with my business venture at www.spiderlines.com [as well as fretting over www.olearyout.com in my spare time as Sunday beckons....] so my time on this Board is substantially less (I read every day, but post little)! Plus I'm very disillusioned with the Villa. You're worried? I'm beyond terrified. If O'Leary is at the helm next season, we're DOOMED!

[peter w]

I'm even starting to miss Jon Fear and red cards! That is a worry!!!

[OneIanTaylor]

Pete, to say I'm unimpressed is to put it lightly. If DOL stays I'll be pissed off. If we sign Heskey, as muted on here earlier, then I'll be fucking savage, as my Uncle says.

[peter w]

You're gonna fuck savage? That's a bit above and beyond don't you think?

[OneIanTaylor]

Well, he is a blonde.

[Dave P]

Evening nightcrawlers.

Today we have heard on here: -

DOL "proud" of his achievement in keeping us up

DOL definatly stopping next season

Emile Heskey rumoured to join us next season.

Its fair to say I'm worried !!!

[peter w]

Evening Dave.


Definitely not the easiest of days to be optimistic if you're a Villa fan.

[Legion]

Hopefully things will become clear(er) on Sunday!

[Dave P]

At 5:00 pm on Sunday we could be confirmed in 17th place !!

As a Villa fan I find myself saying every summer is important but this one is critical !!

[pav]

fucking hell fire if heskey comes here doug and dol can say goodbye to my season ticket . heskey is one of the reasons we aint gone down

[Legion]

Heskey? No way.
