Aston Villa Thread 2017/18

Yes, but clearly FFP does not do what it was supposed to do. As we suspected all along.

Course it does protected the likes of the rags and bin dippers

This a first. A club going to the wall that DIDN'T have Twitcher at the helm.

I don’t have much sympathy for Villa fans. I’ve lived in the West Midlands since the late 80s and they’ve always had a sense of entitlement and dislike of “money” clubs to equal Arsenal, Liverpool etc. Ok not as bad as Liverpool.
Never forget some colleagues taking me to Villa Park - I stood on the Holte End while we put 5 past them. Keeping silent was difficult that night.

Villa fan who I talked to yesterday told me this afternoon that He's heard Tony Xai is willing to sell the club for peanuts providing the buyers settle their debts

Hearing the same from my Villa mate. They're pretty much fucked by all accounts.

 

[Mayor West]

Sounds like they'll be fine now.

Was that the night Whitey scored four?

Didn’t they win most of their honours before crossbars were introduced?

I think it was a little earlier tbh mate, around the time of Napoleon iirc

This is a good thing for Villa if they went up would been all swept under the carpet now they have to deal with it, get there house in Order and maybe end up with a better owner.

Fun fact as the game was postponed over the winter months when I'd just reached the motorway, by the time the game was played in late spring Mrs Moon was pregnant (after giving birth stopped attending games barring the odd one).

This remains the only away game that me, her and technically my lad @poc attended together.
