Aston Villa fans´ groups are warning the club will be contemplating life in the Championship rather than Europe unless there is major investment sooner rather than later.

Villa Fans Combined (VFC) are sceptical about the strength of a possible takeover bid that under-fire chairman Doug Ellis and the board of directors are considering. Ellis said at Friday´s annual general meeting that he hoped to let shareholders know within a month whether initial interest from a group of potential investors will have sufficient substance to be considered viable.

VFC spokesman Jonathan Fear said: "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."

It'll be this threads 10 year anniversary in a few weeks.

I'm glad we still have this thread.

In years of grimness, it is like a lovely reassuring comfort blanket.

Well at least it looks like it got Disco posting again, so it's not all bad.

Risso, how could you?

It's why I brought it back to life. The blanket is chewed at ends, covered in snot and tears from the anguish. Yet remarkably warm enough to protect us all through the harsh winter yet to come. In times of need the thread brings the weary together.

Ah, posting by the three of us. I remember those dark days when everyone else was asleep and we were posting in here. Seems like a lifetime ago now, but the worry is always close to mind.

Fuck me, I must have been doing some serious drugs 10 years ago. Just how long exactly have we all been wasting chunks of our day posting on here. I honestly can't remember life without it.

Life wasn't worth remembering before it.

It's like trying to remember what life was like before you had kids.  I can't for the life of me think what I did with all that spare time.

Perhaps this could be merged with any future 'Are you having or have you had a mid life crisis?' threads?

It's so good to see this legendary old thread! We've had it grim for too long.
