Can anyone explain why Prince whathisname supports them ? I don't recall hearing his brummie accent.

I think if you hate Villa you probably hate every other large club in England. Anyway, what you write couldn't be further from the truth for my Villa-supporting friends, trust me they know full well they deserve to be where they are right now and didn't deserve to go up this year

I was speaking to a Villa fan the other day.
When they played us in the League at The Amex he said we were 'OK for a smaller club'.
Now, finding themselves where they are, he says that the Premier League is just a bog full of mercenaries and cash, and has no wish to be part of it. Even glad in a way they lost to Fulham.

I have to say that working on a bank of desk with Blues and Villa fans, I'm going to enjoy work today. Wind up mode turned up to the max.
Must admit that I love it when a club gets a new owner and the fans all presume they are going to be the next Man City. There were loads of reports about how Dr Tony might not be as wealthy as he made out when he took over, but most Villa fans (and quite a few Sun reading types from other clubs) ignored them. "Ooh Villa have a billionaire owner, they're going to storm the Championship".
FFP and parachute payment woes aside, if they can't pay their tax bills then they are clearly in the shit. Good.

Not seen such Bravery!
Selling Grealish will stop the winding up order, so not too tragic.
They are going the way of Forest and Leeds now with a long, long stint in the Championship on the cards.

Wolves could have been in a similar dodgy situation if their Chinese/Portuguese "gamble" had backfired. It still could in the future despite promotion.
The Wolves' fans are really rubbing their Villa counterparts' noses in the dirt just now, but give it 3/4 years the situation could be reversed.

A load of bought talent there, as they threw money at it, now giving rise to FFP problems.

To be honest I think this was the first time in 30 years Wolves had finished above Villa. How do you think we’d react if this was going on at Paoace and we were looking down on them?

So too are the Birmingham City (Small Heath Alliance) fans but that is to be expected given Villa fans disparaging attitude towards their club !

An email from a 'disgruntled' Villa fan!
"Villa still get one last parachute payment of around £16Million.
No smoke without fire; it looks as though the VAT payment has been missed - which is financial incompetence. They should be able to sort it out by end of the week. If they get wound up, thinking positively, that would actually end a whole lot of pain for me. One thing's sure, I certainly won't support any other team, so will feel a certain amount of freedom if it does happen. At least I won't ever again have to watch the Premier Bog or Sky Championship. Financial Fair Play really worked well - it is a scheme to keep the top 6 oligarchy in the Premiership in their current position of power.
Some poor sods have bought season tickets for next season - some 17,000 of them - it is always the loyal fans who suffer the most. I'm sure that money alone would more than cover the VAT payment. Apparently, the ongoing issue is that the Chinese won't let Chairman Tony get his money out of China! He may have to sell. What a joke!
What a sport"

Likewise.
I follow Xia on Twitter as his feed is unintentionally hilarious - particularly when he claimed in 2016 that the Championship "shouldn't be too hard to get out of". The sycophancy the Villa fans showed his every nonsensical utterance was truly toecurling..."we love you Tony" etc etc, when he was regularly posting cod philosophy and even random mathematical equations. The bloke is very odd.
And whaddya know, its all turning to shit now. Lovely stuff. I'm very much enjoying rubbernecking the carcrash.

Yep. And three of them will be relegated at the end of the season. Doesn't mean they didn't belong. There are about 30-35 teams that belong in the premier league, they can't all be there at once but Villa are certainly one of the top clubs out there

I entirely disagree. There are twenty teams that belong there and that's it. If you're in it, you belong and if you're not then you don't.
Maybe 'deserve' is a better word. Villa do not deserve to be there at the moment. If they get back there then they will.

Looks as if they're ****ed. Either they find some super rich mug to buy the club or they'll go under according to that. I think realistically their best option would be administration, fire sale of their playing assets and an inevitable drop down the divisions. If not it could be Aston Villa 2019 restarting somewhere round Southern league division one east
