I think it’s only fair that I make my position regarding Roberto Di Matteo totally clear. That way, there’s no ambiguity and while I believe I tend to be pretty straight-forward in my views and they normally conform, so I…

Di Matteo pretty much confirmed, along with Steve Clarke and Massimiliano Marchesi; POLL
It hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, but it seems certain that Roberto Di Matteo is our next manager, with Steve Clarke coming in as his number 2. While RDM wouldn’t have been my first choice, I do think my reticence…

Grealish. Will he stay or will he go?
Everything has come to a standstill at the club, it seems. We’re officially managerless, our ownership is in limbo and even the players don’t have a clue as to what’s going on. Which all sounds fairly similar to how the…

Almost certainly Di Matteo. And Villa to spearhead a footballing network.
Nigel Pearson has signed on for Derby then and that’s disappointing on my part as I was convinced he was the man that was needed for our current situation. We all know there seems to have been a massive lack…
-
It’s looking like Di Matteo’s the one. Or is he? And Riley to get the bullet?
The Telegraph have run an article which seems to indicate at first glance that Roberto Di Matteo is definitely Dr Xia’s favoured choice as our next manager. Here’s his wording, as quoted; “That is maybe the reason that a lot…
-
The media don’t have a clue who the manager will be. Nor do I.
After the Mail on Sunday’s report, where they seemed fairly happy that Dr Tony is pretty much what he says he is after flashing that big bank certificate worth around £430 million, it seems trying to find any proper dirt…

I’m even more convinced Recon is a govt vehicle and we’ll know the manager in a week
After my last post, things have become a bit more clearer about what’s happened to cause the worrying that many Villa fans are going through and surprise, surprise, it’s the Villa PR department that seems to have messed up. While…

Can we trust Xia? Lotus Villa Park? and other thoughts
Obviously the takeover is a massive story and it’s brought in lots of comments. What’s impressed me here is the standard of the debate/discussion, which has been excellent and I commend you all; Well done! It’s also been very revealing,…
-
So the takeover has actually happened; Good or Bad? POLL
And while I had serious doubts that it was going to happen, I at least called it correctly in saying it wouldn’t be the Rui Kang Group, but would be a third party that we knew nothing about. Facts that…

Arsenal – Villa: Going down with a blaze of glory?
Or, as is more likely, a whimper? Well, here we are, with the ultimate game of a truly shocking season. I normally get a bit down when we get to the last game, as there’s no Villa to watch for…
-
Relegated clubs settled. So what do you reckon?
I know. It’s just like buses, where I don’t post for ages and then you get two at once. Apologies in advance, for those who like time to digest things. So, after Sunderland beat Everton 3-0, the relegation places have…

Will a takeover happen? and thoughts in general
I’ve been keeping an eye on the site, but it’s only just dawned on me how long it’s been since I last posted anything, hence I thought I’d better comment on something. To be fair it seems like you lot…

Will we let Gardner go?, thoughts on the Watford game and congrats Leicester
If the stories are to be believed, not only do Notts Forest want Gary Gardner, but so do Burnley and Brighton. Burnley are guaranteed promotion to the Premier league as of tonight and Brighton have every chance. Hence both clubs…
-
Watford – Villa; Can we expect anything different?
I really couldn’t be bothered to post anything about this game, as again, I couldn’t really care less. Whatever happens will be meaningless. But I’ve a few minutes free so thought I’d post a quick opinion and we can just…
-
Is a takeover on? or off? Much ado about nothing, imo. And Comolli
Did you see what I did there, given that it’s currently Shakespeare season? Hmm, moving quickly on; Aston Villa seem to be flavour of the month when it comes to news and it’s no wonder after the comedy of errors…

A glimmer of hope as the U-21s win their playoff and did I get it wrong about Okore?
First off I’d like to say “well done” to the young guns after they won their U-21 Premier league division 2 playoff against Swansea, by 2 goals to 1. The official site report suggests the lads played well, with Hepburn-Murphy…

Villa Southampton; not much to say. Oh, i forgot about Okore
Well, this one is going to be brief, as the truth is that now we’re relegated, it doesn’t really matter does it? I can’t see beyond yet another loss, given that Southampton are playing for the Europa league and our…

Directors resigned after someone leaked their mails; so who’s the leak? Okore and other stuff
I suspect the first half of my post will bore the pants off many of you, but it’s something I find interesting and I’d like thoughts on. If you’re not interested, scroll down halfway and I do talk about the…
-
Just as you thought it couldn’t get any worse.
My head is spinning. After Saturday’s game, our confirmed relegation just left me even number than I’ve been for the last few weeks. There was no real emotion, as along with anyone with half a brain, I knew we were…

Worrying comments from Black and the Man Utd game
I’m pretty sure Eric Black’s quotes have been taken somewhat out of context, but even so they’re worrying; “It’s not an easy situation in terms of motivating players because this could very easily implode,” said the caretaker boss. It could…
