Read more »Whilst reading through Aston-Villa views article that they published early this afternoon regarding the possible takeover & sale of Aston Villa (by the way, good read Ian). I received a message from a close friend of mine who has contacts within Aston Villa.
The message I received had this to say:
Look who is standing with Spinky & Taylor
Upon opening the message I found the following
Ok, I admit, I did do a bit scream when I saw these. But, I had to ask them the question. I asked them who they was? are these the new owners or are they just some random guys from around the Birmingham area? The reply I got was:
According to staff I have spoken to they are the potential new buyers of Aston Villa
Take this as you will, but if this is the case, this puts the nail in the coffin for me.
IF THESE ARE the new owners considering to buy AVFC I would like to be the first to welcome them both whoever they maybe to Aston Villa Football Club.

QIA or Not QIA – There Is No Smoke Without Fire

Read more »To be honest with you guys, I was very spectacle to the news that the Q.I.A was looking at buying Aston Villa.
But as I said before, I am a firm believer that Randy will not be in charge of Villa come next season.
The idea that people think that we are cutting the wage bill to its bare bones to then rebuild the squad again by spending millions is a bit O T T.
Randy this season, I don’t think has put any of his own cash into Villa. I’m in the thinking, that the bonus & TV revenue went onto buy Given, CNZ, Hutton, Stevens & Jenas. The point that we only signed Keane on a £500k deal points to the fact Randy was unwilling to splash his cash.
The other point being is the North Stand. Plans where in place to rebuild the stand & then have it fall into line with St James’. People inside of Villa have said its been shelved due to the financial climate.
Aston Villa have also contacted season ticket holders asking to do a survey. Over the years I have had my ticket I have never been asked to do one. Cutting the long story short, it was a call to see if I was renewing next season. When asked if I wouldn’t renew if we got a low league place again points to me, that Randy just wants to club to survive in the league.
My response to the customer services rep was “if Alex is still there I won’t be”. Alex at the end of the day is a short term fix. The press are very much focused on him & the team. This allows the board to act like Ninjas & play it low key.
Whether its the Q.I.A or anyone else. Many are getting itchy feet over Randy & the board with the direction the club is going.
Being a ticket holder our home attendances have been poor. 10,000 people don’t stop coming for a reason. If I’m being honest, the public have had some awesome deals to get fans back in. Which does make you wonder this season at least why bother having a season ticket.
Don’t you find it weird that villa posted that Randy had been here over the last few weeks to talk to Alex. But, in a interview recently Alex said he hadn’t seen Randy since after Christmas?
Why did Villa also post on Twitter ON THE DAY that the prince was supposedly going to Bodymoor Heath about Randy being there also?
I would love to be a fly on the wall to see Villa’s end of season figures. I bet they are alarming.
So why would Randy be balancing the books by cost cutting including the wage bill to then rip it all up & spend millions of pounds?
