RL is actively trying to sell AVFC under the radar of the fans and the media, the lack of investment is due he wants to maximise his wealth as he now wants to relocate in america away from his ex wife and try to settle down again. If he is unable to sell before the end of the season depending on whether we stay up depends on when he will sell.
relegated = RL will wait until we return to the prem to sell investing limited fund to preserve his fortune.
survive = he will sell to the higest bidder who has best intentions for the club as he is still a villa fan at heart.
all we can hope for is survival and a sheik
Lol...and you have Lerner's ear, right?
I don't know what is wrong with people like you.
He doesn't want Villa to be ridden with debt, he wants to stabilise and then invest when we're balanced again.
Do you honestly think Lambert would have left Norwich if there was no future plan?
I'm just glad I don't have to sit next to the deranged and schizophrenic fans that come on here.
The situation is depressing enough!
No Sheiks for me thanks, and you can keep your ruski oil too. Would be nice to be a local, English club
Why are people so blind they can't see what RL and PL are trying to do, we sign young talent who have great futures. If we stay up which we do have the ability to do the team can only get better and as time passes we can challenge in the top half of the table.
Things take time and I feel its better this way then spend millions on players which we have in the past which have come to nothing. I expect us to use the Bents, N'Zogbias and Irelands to help us stay up but I wouldn't expect them to stay around afterwards! UTV
That all sounds great mate. But, I honestly think that those of you who go with this theory are confusing development with decline.
Every poor side in any devision states at some point or other that they are in some stage of transition to explain away a perilous position. It makes it sound like there is a master plan, that the current hitch is just a bump in the road and it will all turn out well given a bit more time.
If Lerner had any ambition to be pushing toward the top 1/2 of the table in a few years, do you honestly think he would risk the loss of £60 million plus for he sake of spending 10-15 million now, when we really need it, on a Centre midfielder who can tackle, a centre back who can head a ball and a wide man who can cross a ball ?
The plan, if there is one, is for Villa to scrape along the bottom half of the table spending the bare minimum possible whilst still drawing the Sky TV money (in other words, to be Wigan).Sorry to be such a pessimist but I just don't see anything but long term decline under this chairman
