Been awhile since I've popped in here - for those that know me, you'll know that for a long time when I was in the Midlands, Villa was my football 'fix'.
Of course, I've been watching the machinations for a while, but every so often you see / read something that makes you stop and think, and I'm still stuck in that mindset that until Villa can find a way to massively increase revenues they'll continue to be banging their heads against FFP rules.
The Swiss ramble did a great piece on the PL last few weeks and today he turns his attention to the Championship - which I have to say looks frighteningly like a rich owners plaything and a potential pack of financial cards..
How Villa can fight their way back into the PL other than to have some massive sales, or successes driven by home grown talent I just do not know - the alturnative can only be a huge hike in reveues, but I can't see that happening anytime soon.
Anyway, the figures for most CL clubs look frightening and I wish you well, but it really does look to me that you are between a rock and a hardplace and if promotion isn't achieved this season, then one or two biggish sales cannot be avoided;
I wish all Villa fans a happy new year and hope you can pull it off and eventually see you back where you rightly belong.
