Keith Wyness on BBC WM
very good listen. very positive stuff.

I can't bear to listen to the numbskulls on there (particularly the presenters)
Could you summarise what he said?
25 Feb 2017 01:02:20
He basically said Dr Tony is here for the long haul, we need 3 teams 1 to get promoted 2 to stay in PL and 3 to push for top 4. Said when in PL will increase capacity with talks already with council and road infrastructure being only issue. Will stick with SB who will be here next season, can't carry on changing managers and squads. Said financial fair play will not be an issue when back in PL. no one can quite fathom how these amazing Championship players perform at Bodymoor and then can't win despite match stats being excellent! He was full of praise for fans with the owners predicting 15k season tickets for this season and 25k crowds amazed got 20k and over 30k crowds! Sure we will get result to put a last ditch run for this season but no promotion now, that's for next season. Vila are part of Dr Tony's business empire and he loves the club! Sounded all genuine and optomistic.

Everything you'd expect to hear to keep the fans happy; the club is in safe hands, Tony isn't going to get bored, every eventuality / outcome has a plan, Bruce will be manager at the start of next season no matter what. Would love to believe him but can't believe anything these modern day football men say, hopefully he's honest and sincere but just look at Leicester.

Steve Bruce is staying at the football club no matter what even if we go down which they're not thinking about. Keith wyness said there's no problems with the players everybody gets on in training and work really hard and they just can't put their finger on what is going wrong at the moment. Keith wyness also said it was probably a mistake bringing 7 players in January to much to soon.
financially we will be ok even if we don't get promoted he has planned for us to be in the championship four or five years financially. But hopes we are not in there that long. Dr Tony is at the club for The Long Haul no matter what league. We will have to be careful what we spend in the championship financial fair play rules mean we can't keep spending huge amounts but if we get in the premier league we can spend what we like!

Keith Wyness = pinch of salt, spoke to a few toffees and all say he is always positive - a good thing, however, he'll say what you want to hear to keep the waters calm, when it suits, hope though he's on the button about keeping bruce at the helm and giving him the extra time and latitude he needs, but mat kendrick seems to think one or two in the heirarchy aren't so steadfast-but there again, kendrick likes a bit of mischief!

Thought that was a good point that with hindsight perhaps too many debuts in January and Feb. We all knew from previous windows needs time but with the signings who would have done anything different. Hindsight is a wonderful thing! Predicting 1 nil to villa todayUTV.
