IMO we acted well within our rights and there would have been nobody chucking us a spare couple million after the dust settles because we were good ol' bors. Webber is exactly the type of leader you want during this sort of situation. We did what was best for Norwich City. Fair point. Stuart is in good company with Mike Ashley. Albeit he is a billionaire... and a lovely chap. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/football/52130206 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor Hockey's Beard 526 Posted July 6, 2020 Spending little money this season currently looks like a stroke of genius. Whether this is the case can only be determined in a few years time. I don't think they ever planned to stay up, so don't call for their heads when they have followed the plan. Villa have spent £65m on 4 centre-backs, a defensive midfielder and a leftback, and look where that's got them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The question was raised elsewhere and I gave my opinion and asked for clarity. I said that I might be wrong. I don’t get the childish name calling when you don’t like something. One could call you a boring idiot, with nothing of any interest to say. Others call you a tw&t but I just ignore you. I am generally interested to find out what the plan is other than a vague statement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellow_belly 226 Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) It is a game of football. Therefore not the most important thing in the world - especially with COVID whizzing around!!! We can’t influence it. I was just a) asking for clarification to the plan (and given you complete transparency to my thinking) and b) pointing out that it is shame that we need to furlough staff whilst our directors, owners, players and management didn’t take a financial hit. I don’t think it was our finest hour. Nor does that make me a troll, stupid or a binner. Newcastle are in another league (literally) Edited July 6, 2020 by yellow_belly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has lockdown got to you old chap? I was asking a valid and sensible question about the plan. I admit that the slow relegation ‘Death’ made me grumpy. But now that ‘it’ has finally happened, we are where we are. I will get behind DF next year and hope that he is successful. But I reserve the right to be a critical friend and point out where we have completed messed up this year. Therefore, I would like to understand the plan so can appreciate it. At the moment I don’t understand it and therefore I don’t applaud it. It is just hot air. A bit like a couple of posters I could mention. (That also happen to support the plan but cannot explain it apart from saying The words, ‘yo-yo, self sufficient, plan.’ But without joining up the words into a sentence or ‘argument.’ Edited July 6, 2020 by yellow_belly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coneys Knee 941 Posted July 6, 2020 For what it’s worth, what concerns me about the plan the most is that the guy who has essentially hatched the plan has near enough said he’s leaving in two years. it is widely accepted or assumed (as I can’t remember it actually being said), that the plan is a long term project, but how can something be long term when the leader of the plan is leaving in the short term. It’s always puzzled me a bit as how would anybody know that a new man at the top wouldn’t come in and have a completely different plan. For me, long term is 10-15 years not 2 years!
