I honestly feel sorry for what's happened to Villa this year, always had a bit of a soft spot for villa and its a shame to see one man (well two including Lerner) slowly strangling the life out of one of the stalwarts of the PL.
Sadly I think you guys will get relegated, have thought you might for a while and to be honest as ridiculous as it sounds it might have its benefits in wiping the slate clean as it did for Newcastle.
Still Good Luck Tomorrow
Villa will definitely stay up, if only because there's just a handful of games left and the mathematical possibilities for Villa to go down are just too remote to be too concerned with.
The big concern will be next season: will Lerner just give up the ghost and sell up? Will he cut his losses and dump 'Judas and start over? Or will he give him another season and a shedload of cash?
I rather think it will be the last option: but then again even with a pot of cash, will it be enough to entice quality players to the club, especially with such a one-dimensional manager?
Villa deserve better: 'Judas should either go back to the Scottish leagues or the lower English leagues. No way is he EPL quality. He's been found out, and he needs to be do the honorable thing and sod off some place else
JackSkat...Iam a long term villa supporter (46 years ) and ..yes I do think we will go down...BUT and it's a big BUT...if it means getting rid of ginger then o.k but i'm afraid that he may stay even if we are relegated....that is the nightmare.
Regarding ginger going down to the lower leagues ...i'm sorry he's not good enough ..even for the lower leagues...best send him (as you say ..back to jocko land)
I'm not concerned about next season. I am totally concerned about us staying up. We'll have better idea about what state we're in after today. At the moment, I still think the odds are against us going down. To do that, three of the four beneath us (ignoring Wolves) are going to have to gain the equivalent of two wins relative to us, out of the last seven matches. Although those teams are showing signs of revival, I can't see three maintaining it. But it's possible. The infuriorating thing is that only under McLeish would anyone contemplate us getting nothing or next to nothing between now and the end of the season.
One thing I'm certain of about next season. McLeish won't be here. If we've got money to invest in new players then we've got money to sack him; which in itself is equivalent to signing three good players. I can't see Randy being anything other than appalled at the state we're in, and as much as McLeish may try, I can't see him avoiding the blame. The McLeish line of "we'll have a big clear out and move forwards" (so blaming the players he's relying on to keep us up, another McLeish blunder) won't wash.
Every team reignites its season against us, we will just roll over and be tickled. Pathetic.
