Simply put our squad is not good enough. it wasnt good enough last season and we have sold our two best players since then and released countless others. Bringing in two as replacements is just not good enough and hoping that players overlooked last season perform and untried youngsters deliver is frankly ridiculous. Yes we finished 9th last season in the end but could have been mathmatically been relegated right up the the final couple of games. We need improvement across the team and cannot understand what is happening at Villa Park at the moment. mcleish is going to have to perform miracles in order not to have the Holte end on his back from the start and then what? sack him when you begin to panic Mr Lerner? Its all well and good having a state of the Art training facility, award winning playing surface and earmarked ground improvements and capacity increase...but what good is that if You cannot attract players to come to the club and we are playing in the Championship in front of a half empty stadium? For the first time in many years I am not looking forward to the new season yet I have still spent money I don't really have and will travel hundreds of miles across the UK watching the team play badly and have countless arguements with my girlfriend as I am wasting money or sulking because Aston Villa Football Club is in my blood and always will be..If you have lost too much money or interest Mr Lerner please sell us to someone who understands the passion felt by fans of our club. Events off the pitch and performances on it over the past 18 months have been nothing less than embarassing and the lack of transfers in this summer shows the club is going backwards. Its going to be another long season

why would McLeish terminate Heskey's contract, that would cost more money than it would save.
I don't know he is a great player
He only mentioned last week that heskey was part of his plans. think this is just the newspapers talking bull as usual
USED TO BE great

Villa will not, yes WILL NOT be making anymore signings Alec McLeish has said in a statement on skysports news they don't have any money to spend The rest of the profit from Young and Downing sales are to go back to pay Bent transfer in January and wages. If they want to buy now they will have to sell again
We got 24million for milner and didn't spend until bent. so we should still have a good 20million left at least
Not to burst your bubble mate we got 16m plus Ireland for Milner and then Bent cost 18m up front rising to 24m in add ons and 6m on Makoun 38m out on Downing and Young as well as 12 other players released so why are we unable to bring in 2 players although hearing rumors Heskey is being forced out Ceullar going and Beye may have his contract terminated
