A perfect storm brewing at the Villa
£40-£50M annual savings required to stay clear of FFP.
Average wages of £30K/week with a host of expensive contracts on some not very good players.
And an owner who may be looking for the exit door.
Not good times for a cornerstone club of English football.

Re: A perfect storm brewing at the Villa
Villa are too big to fail.
Someone else will buy them if needs be and they'll be back in the PL at some point.
They won't give a **** about FFP either
Their market potential is absolutely massive, how they aren't one of the biggest clubs in the country, I've no idea.

Another club with an American owner out of his depth, see Sunderland before the recent sale.

Correct. Another club with a Chinese owner out of his depth. Boys and their toys.PWBFC wrote:The owners Chinese.

Re: A perfect storm brewing at the Villa
No easy way out of the Championship next season either with Stoke and West Brom likely to be strong. Expect Pulis to improve 'Boro with a pre-season behind him too.
Villa did OK in a relatively weak division. Wolves and Fulham were stand out and Warnock did an amazing job at Cardiff.
Too many ordinary players on PL wages. Owners might be thinking about a managerial change.

Henri Lansbury continues his successful stay in The Championship.

Re: A perfect storm brewing at the Villa
Well, their fans don't act like they're following a 'big club' with potential. I was at Wembley on Saturday and they behaved like a silent bunch of sullen introverts facing relegation rather than their biggest, most important single match in years. It was almost as though the victory and promotion to the Premier League was their given right and when Fulham had the temerity not to rollover, they retracted into their shells. It was great to see Fulham show them how to play like a big club and support a team like a big club.starting_11 wrote:Villa are too big to fail.

Bad/poor managerial appointments and rubbish signings.
Over paid average players etc.
Look around at other clubs and you see the same mistakes being made time and again.
Remember when the fans were chuffed to see Deadly Doug leave?
They barely moved upwards after he left and now they're in the championship amusingly.
