Very good debut previous posts have covered all his attributes lets hope some of them rub off on Kodja

Would have to agree with your statement Northampton those teams under Ron Saunders were and pleasure to watch, as were big Rons but I feel that comes down to management style and philosophy. No setting up not to lose with those two, set out to win the game.

I'd say for the most of last season PVB not just the playoff final.

Of course any manager would know that yes true Fear. But surely the new owners would look at how much has been spent in the time of Bruce's management , they both say they are keen followers of sport and they are obviously are very good businessman. That surely would have noticed the club has...

I think that's a fair comment. Bruce must know they will want their own guy in at some point.

I must admit although not a fan of Bruce, I do feel he might be the best option for now. Having said that all this rubbish about him knowing the league, to me is a load of crap it's like any other league get the most points and you win it, to do that you need to win games. He is far to negative...

Fair comments Mike. To be fair Bruce did say in his interview we need to sell players regardless of whether the owner has .money or not. A good friend of mine follows Leeds everywhere his theory is the EFL don't want teams like Villa Leeds etc getting out of the league as they generate money...

Ok Mike or oi git. Maybe your right regarding them showing interest post interviews. It's good news long term, possibly from the off if they can plug that FFP deficit via any methods you mention in various posts. Ie shirt sleeve sponsors etc. Like anything they will judged on actions not words ...

Plenty of questions rattling about in my head too mike_field. These deals are not done overnight. Were these guys in the frame before either Xia or Bruce's dour statements? Like many Villa fans I am curious as to the strengthen the squad and structure before the coming season comment. Do they...

After the last month or so it's positive news. Next few weeks could be intresting to see how things pan out. These are 2 wealthy guys hopefully they can get us back where we belong. UTV

Very worrying words at the start of the post Fear, agree in any aspect of life, business or family if your robbing Peter to pay Paul on a regular basis it's going to end in tears.The thought that we could sell our players and still end up fucked is just madness. Hand to mouth comes to mind, and...

I wish Ironside ?

For many years it's been something that's baffled me. We supposedly have a great academy. Yet very few of these younger players get a look in. Now I understand it's a results business but surely some these guys could be given a chance. If there not good enough then perhaps the academy needs...

Funny how we remember things relating to Villa from 40yrs ago but can't remember what I had for tea yesterday. We had some great attacking teams from 75 through to 85. Be great to watch a Villa team thrash teams at Villa Park most home games once again. Teams not full of fancy Dan's or egos just...

I saw him score an absolute screamer with his left foot at old Trafford in a 1_1 draw if memory serves me right.

Exactly if Bruce continues to cut his nose off to spite with this Ross McCormack and bombs him out again. It would be better to try and sell him very cheap, do a swap deal with someone or just give him away for free. Alternatively give him chance to earn his wages, Same with Richards in my opinion.

Highest attendances in the league and skint, put that one on your CV Dr Xia. As others have said it may get worse before it improves, I hope that's not the case. UTV

What a bloody mess. It sounds like promotion would have brought Xia a little time, but we would have still faced the same situation at some point in the near future. The truth will out at some point as to the events that have been going on. With 3 weeks left in the transfer window I really...

100 % agree. How can anybody run something into the ground to this extent, the problem would be evident very soon if he was putting in millions each month to keep the club running as reports say which may or may not be true. The sensible thing would be to address the situation and nip it in the...

Im personally worried that even if the club makes up the deficit for FFP, we may still struggle to cover the bills wages and taxes etc. These people who purchase clubs are business men or investors, chasing the riches of the premier league. They are out for themselves, they come along swearing a...
