Matteo and a hungry Dwight Yorke as assistant both champions league winners and both got a point to prove thoughts?

24 May 2016 23:14:20
Fingers crossed!

25 May 2016 16:07:46
If Dwight is hungry, perhaps he could eat Gabby. That would kill two birds with one stone. Mind you, it'll take him a while.

Where's Flackie? Has he gone and disappeared on one on holiday - given up the fight and joined the rest of his in-laws on a victory tour of Thailand, or just lost the will to live. Come back Flackie - we love you really.

24 May 2016 20:53:23
Thank you mate! I Think!
I'm still here! Just a little gob smacked with all these daft negative posts, so have been quiet, through fear of saying something to upset!

24 May 2016 21:33:23
Chicken.

24 May 2016 21:34:23
Let rip Flackie, what are you thinking?

UTV.

We wait for years for someone to come and try to be our saviour, because our yanker wasn't what he promised, and before the guy has come through the door, we are claiming he is a failure!
Do people seriously think Lerner would risk giving the club away to someone who can't pay?
Do we seriously think that the people behind the scenes have got this far with out proof, evidence and assurances?
He comes from a country with more secrets than any other, wealth is not easy to find out about there, but this economy is growing quicker and bigger than any other in history.

Then we come to the management saga!
'. now he has turned down, now he going here. '
Get a grip!
Or people calling for Pearson, because of all his experience!
Now I'm not going to talk about my thoughts on this guy, as I've made this known! But his experience and track record?!
He almost got Leicester relegated, they where bottom all season, and yes he pulled them clear. But. That same team, with a better coach, won the championship! And we want him?!

Our fans or now so negative on everything!
Why would anyone want the come to us, as owner, or manager, let alone future players, when as soon as they come through the door, we label them a failure, and start planning to get them out?

I love this club, and mostly I love out support. But find the poisonous attitude by some is killing the whole out look. It's infectious, and spreading. We are in danger of being consumed by it, once that happens, we are totally screwed.

24 May 2016 23:04:29
Thanks villadaz! Lol.

24 May 2016 23:17:58
Yes flackie! Spot on mate!

24 May 2016 23:37:36
I often am, but I'm with you more than normal on this one Flackie
Whether or not Xia proves to be a success or not, he has to be given a chance
A lot of our support seem to be acting like those fans who slag off the first bad touch from a prospect from the youth ranks (we've all sat next to them)
We luxuriate in being dour and morose.

25 May 2016 00:27:02
Flackie, we have in our time been accused of being bullies, simply by telling they are wrong . I can understand you're frustration with some of the rubbish that has been posted at times . As iv said before, a few on here do a lot of reading, but not a lot of thinking . They would for some reason write.

25 May 2016 03:49:50
Agree flackie.

25 May 2016 05:36:25
I've never thought of Pearson that way before Flackie, I get it now, i just think we should get the best manager possible, not one that's 'available'. Didn't we pay the Nose £5M for McLeish? If we've hopefully got money to burn, without sounding like a broken record, get Alladyce, then watch us fly

UTV.

25 May 2016 07:42:26
Your welcome Flackie👍👍👍.

25 May 2016 07:47:20
By the way flacks good post what I was thinking but couldn't be bothered to write it in would have got writers cramp or something more which ment my hand would have been out of action for ages and I can Ill afford to do that 😂.

25 May 2016 07:56:54
Just threw up in my mouth! 😳.

25 May 2016 08:23:39
Best get some listerine then 😂.

25 May 2016 08:39:23
I would say get a grip, but after your last post, you already have!

25 May 2016 08:47:30
Haha mate.

25 May 2016 18:04:39
Well said Flackie. Now let's look forward with hope and keep the faith. The atmosphere against the Jimmy 5 bellies and his mates was cracking and more of the same is required next season. Let's make Lotus Villa Park ours again no boos or dodgy banners. Let's show our new owners, management and players what we are about every week. VTID. Oh and villdaz it's not big and it's not clever.

25 May 2016 21:34:30
What isn't jam dog?

24 May 2016 17:27:34
Managers pulling out left right and centre. says who. The papers. get a grip . The man himself said he has a manager and will be announced this week so because papers have no idea what's going on make rubbish up. has any manager come out and said they pulled out. no they haven't. its like people want bad news to be true about villa. not 1 single person has any evidence to their claims.

24 May 2016 18:19:51
i agree i said this earlier mate UTV.

24 May 2016 20:11:59
Shame Dwight Yorke's not in the frame for the job then as history says he's incapable of pulling out .

24 May 2016 15:34:17
It doesn't matter which manager we end up with because the press will make it appear that he was our only option anyway, also it's astonishing that the press don't yet know for certain who will be our manager and yet they seem to know who our board members will be, When you consider that Mr Xia was reluctant to name candidates for the managerial job it is highly unlikely that he named potential board members!

24 May 2016 11:51:29
Never heard so much negative comments about the takeover do we honestly believe that he hasn't got money. To buy the club I believe Due Diligence period you have to prove your funds to get access to the books. And as for us becoming Chinese feeder club I don't care where there from if there good enough to get Villa back to premiership and in to top half of the league plus work permits will stop that happening all I am saying is get behind the takeover we have no choice.

24 May 2016 13:08:15
I agree. In light of all the current negativity around the new ownership, perhaps the Numptys who walked out of numerous games last season have got so used to it that they don’t feel they can now break the habit in time for the beginning of next season so are starting an immediate ‘Xia Out’ campaign so they can justify their continued behavior from day 1 of the Championship. I bet they’ve already made the banners.

24 May 2016 14:59:50
Gentlemen, the points you make are right, and maybe because of the lerner years and the broken promises there's a more dour approach by a very few of us 'doubting thomas's', so do i want him to be knickerbocker glory of an owner, yep, i'll have a rum barba too! but to use a quote'show me the money', that's all i'm saying., never happen i know, but there you go!

24 May 2016 15:12:45
sorry guys i'm not going to go all gooey eyed an weak at the knees just because some guy who is quite clearly blowing out of proportion his wealth starts waving million dollar cheques in the air

the 2 guys in the background samuelson and banfill are the ones we should be concerned about because i have a nasty feeling that the good Dr is just their front man and we are going to find ourselves in one hell of a mess very soon

i for one am really hoping now that is takeover collapses as i now feel it might.

24 May 2016 10:38:22
looks to me like dr xia does not want Pearson as being as he was hollis and Lerner choice surly by now they would have him in if they were going to as so much work to do. I'm glad it's not moyes and don't want martinez either as he can't organise a defence to save his life. Di matteo I'd give a chance but if he ends up going to lazio I think it's time to give Neil warnock a ring. he wants a job for 1 year in the championship with a chance of winning promotion. he has a great record of getting promotion over the years so for me could be a good fit for one season and then get our man next summer hopefully as a prem team again and Dr xia offering big funds.

24 May 2016 13:12:46
I've been saying warnock for weeks and every time I've been shot down, as you say he knows the league can motivate players and takes no crap, is this not exactly what we need right now?

24 May 2016 10:23:04
for the last time we have our manager he said that last week he is just waiting to announce it due to these checks everybody calm down moyes was not offered the job nigel pearson has said nothink nor has roberto di matteo so calm down patience this fantasy that people are turning us down is stupid the manager is sorted. papers get paid to right rubbish us as fans have know excuse just wait he only said give me 1 week. nobody knows anythink let xia work his magic and then roar us lions to the premiership!

24 May 2016 12:45:30
I'll agree with that.

24 May 2016 09:26:00
Plenty of rubbish in all the papers. All trying to discredit our new owner. Reminds me of when we won the league and Ipswich were the darlings of the media. We won the league and European Cup and then they all started sucking up to us. Let them write their daily tripe and let us hope we can make them eat their words.

24 May 2016 08:49:02
No wonder we struggled to sell our club with some fans moaning and bitching for God's sake we have a man worth billions who is willing to pump millions into our club sit down and think things through before you post because some of the posts are more ridiculous than Small Heath.

24 May 2016 10:07:09
Xia is worth millions, not billions.

clue is that he is a "millionaire"

24 May 2016 11:04:34
Sorry dave I bow down to your superior knowledge I just thought HIS companies are worth billions silly me!

24 May 2016 09:25:35
Glad to see the turmoil hasn't dulled your passion fella, with all due courtesy, if moyesy and now nigel both have decided to look elsewhere than that, surely, should raise a flag that either the budget or plans are a bit suspect, or has someone had a word in their ear in regard to the 'new' owners, maybe its a cultural thing or maybe the colour of the wallpaper, who knows, but to raise questions when something which seamed straight forward goes wrong is normal i think.

24 May 2016 11:55:20
Cheers class82 or maybe it's just paper talk or maybe it's just the fact that nothing will be done till the all clear is given fact of the matter is bud we have the chance of building something here then when rumours start it gets knocked down that's why I never buy papers as they print tripe.

24 May 2016 12:52:39
some papers say millionaire some say billionaire. don't belive anything they put fatdave. trust me when I say he's very much a billionaire. I've done over 12 hours of checking this man out and he has a lot of money and will pass all tests easy. he is also close to buying a company in America for 3.5 billion. multiple billionaire trust me.
