The only time I believe they have genuinely been open to it was many years ago when they asked that London based guy to look for investors but even then I bet the criteria was pretty tight. I think you're confusing Delia with Boris Johnson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its about what the respective clubs can offer him now. Personally I don't think the lure of working with Dean Smith at a club that finished 11th last season and 17th the season before is all that but what they clearly can offer him is ambition and money. Two things sorely lacking here. Of course they can offer him more money. More ambition? I think Webber and Farke are ambitious people. Villa are a bigger club with more money with obviously a better chance of staying up as they spent 120m last season to scrape it and are going to spend big again. I dont think spending money necessarily equates to ambition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is such a silly argument. Had that incident happened in the first game of the season, nobody would make such ridiculous claims. You stay up due to your performance over the course of a whole season. You could look at any team and pick out examples where results were impacted by good and bad luck.
