Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[peter w]

So Robbo. You're giving me grief about not replying quick enough and look at BE's figures! Christ, it's a wonder that I bother posting here at all as its obviously to myself. Just want to tip my hat to the gentleman in 5th spot. Oh, what fun he was. That descent into lunacy is amongst the funniest things I have read on here. He must have been committed by now. Does anyone actually know him? Still see or speak to him? Does his voice go very high-pitched at the sound of H&V?

Robbo, got to go back to work for an hour or so. But I'll be back!

I'm worried that  we'll be known in the future as the 'no nosers', such is the enthusiasm on here to cut off the nose to spite the face.
FFS, I'll be glad when the marching season is over and we can all get back to our normal lives and realistic views.
The way things are going, I'll end up losing my bet with gregnash.
Worried? You don't know half of it!
The lunatics are taking over the asylum!

Oi. No need for talk like that. Just because you're having a nightmare in 'little Accra' don't offend us Worried folk. Logged on this morning to see the pace a-gathering regarding the takeover and manager. Seems to be one step back at the moment. yesterday I thought we'd draw 1-1 at Arsenal. Now, I think we'll lose 3-0. Better than the 6-0 beating that I thought 3 weeks ago though.

[ROBBO]

I'm worried now about the time it's all taking it's like Christmas eve will never be over so you can get at the sack of goodies.I only hope we don't and up with an orange and a bag of nuts.

If at the start of the summer, or even just a couple of weeks ago, I thought that the only change at Villa would be the demise of The Clown, I would have happily taken it. However, now that we're this close to the Big Prize then we are all aching impatiently, waitingg, wishing, hurting, for it to be done. What a summer if Ellis and The Clown both depart.

However, even though the bigger is vital we cannot forget that the league programme starts in two weeks. The transfer deadline closes in 4 weeks. The football side of things must not be overlooked by the hierarchy at VP. Short-term or not, the introduction of a transfer window means we have to act fast. otherwise it may be catch up come the January window.

The positive here, though, is that I don't think many clubs have even started their recruitment for the season in earnest. Some have picked up little bits here and there. But, to make sure we don't miss the boat, we need a manager now.

[ROBBO]

We have the dual problem, no manager and no takeover and probably one relys on the other. God forbid Ellis in desperation tries to install a noddy manager in the interim.

[Matt G]

I'm worried that we are drifting into this season with no sense of direction.  All very well if we do get taken over, but what if we don't?  The transfer window will slam shut in 4 weeks, will we have time to act?

[peter w]

As long as we get O'Neill in place I am confident of us being dragged throuhgh to christmas relatively unscathed. However, the transfer window isn't too much of a problem. Chelsea are the only club that pay up front. If we are assured of a takeover- a bit further down the line than we are now- then we can say we'll sign so and so, you'll have your first down payment on such and such a date.

[ROBBO]

Had to rush to this sanctuary as i am mightily worried over the consequences if MON does not sign. We have not yet had OFFICIAL comfirmation yet thousands of H&Vrs are celebrating I know we have been let down many times before and risen again but this is different.
Their will be blood on the streets if this does not happen. Yours in worry.

[Captain Trips]

Will this thread cease to be when MON becomes manager and a takeover has happened? Or are Villa fans natural worriers and we will start to fret over the fact that Chelsea and United are spending more than us? :smt002

[peter w]

How can we stop worrying. Even if its a worry between getting the train, or plane, to the CL final v Barcelona in Paris, and whether the manager pushes Massi forward, or leaves him in the hole, its all still a worry.

Are we in the lull before the storm at the moment? The eye of the hurricane, as it were. Everything settles down for a while. Nobody speaking to the press, least of all the people's manager. No consortia conflab in the media. Is something around the corner. Or is this the beginning of the end for our hopes?

[JD]

We will never stop worrying Captain Trips.

If MO'N does become Manager and a Billionaire does take us over in ther future we can safely say that we will have plenty of worries. Things like can I get a ticket to see the mighty AVFC, is our trophy cabinet big enough for all the cups we keep winning, which players out of our huge and expensive squad should be dropped etc, etc....  O:)

[ROBBO]

I am worried that when I want to post it never remembers my password. Is it trying to tell me something, are Mac and his merry men ganging up on me, am I not wanted. While i'm at it that last post JD had a hint of smugness about it, we don't want to give the wrong impression to newcomers. Now you see I was going to send you a smiley face but it just comes up as gibberish. AEERRRRRRRGHGH.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Blooming nora, JD I never thought about  that, I was only worried about other fans jealously claiming we bought the Champions League successes but now I'm not sure if I really want MON and Lerners billions. At least with DOL and Ellis you knew where you stood and there was never such a thing as problems getting hold of tickets, quite the opposite in fact, they couldn't give them away. #-o

[peter w]

Morning JD. I sometimes wonder at Villa fans. What on earth have got not to be worried about?
