Aston Villa

[nailsy]

His season was already over when he was banished to train with U21s in order to sort his fitness out.
They would be looking to sell him in the summer now that they've been relegated, so I can sort of understand his "fuck it" mentality.

Isn't he a Villa fan? He's certainly been there long enough.

I would have thought it works inversely there. The longer you are there the less you like the place

Stolen from RAWK's thread on Villa....

Seriously screwed up club at the moment

The fact those two have walked just shows how deluded the owner is, the club deserves better.

It gets worse... Hearing this morning they now have sponsors trying to pull out.

 

[Sweech]

I have no idea how they're allowing some of the players who very clearly don't give a shit to play and they aren't playing any academy products.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Yeah, this is the point where a coach with self-respect says "fuck you guys, if you won't try i'll find an 18 year old who will". It's not like they have anything to lose.

Well at least their fans have maintained a sense of humour. Check out their sarcastic reaction to winning a corner:

"He became a fan of Aston Villa many years ago and is delighted at the opportunity to become the new owner."

I can't believe Learner came out with this:
In what he said would be his final message to fans, Lerner stressed his aim had always been to strengthen the club's infrastructure as well as the squad, but said he had found it difficult to commit time and effort in the past five years.

60 mill

Could look like a serious bargain in 5 years if they appoint the right person/ people

 

[yankspurs]

Hopefully Lerner makes one more forray into football and buys...wait for it...Arsenal!

*This message has been paid for by Lerner for Arsenal.

The new owner has said he's looking to bring back 'european' football.

Is 'european' Chinese for 'top flight'?

It's ok, I'm not English so I don't have to tiptoe around every mention of someone foreign.
