Have to say i agree with Matthew on almost all of his points above, i can see the summer being a difficult one for almost all PL clubs, with fees and wages contracting everywhere bar the very top. In fact their wont be much movement at all and the bargain basement is likely to be overcrowded with shoppers this year. The burden of debt isnt sustainable for almost all PL clubs -Credit isnt readily accessable even if you can come acorss it your paying a mega rate of intrest. Yet we are nicely poised to sustain the impending storm with our cost vs turnover ratio, if we continue to manage the club as we have.

To be honest now is the time not to spend as was last summer, i was pleased we didnt spend a lot, as much as we all like new players, keeping your cost base down is a must now and in the next 3-4 years. In actual fact it is better for the club not to invest to be honest.

In footballing terms we have a good young squad sprinkled with wiley old heads - we can be more then competitive with what we have and an astute small purchase or a loan.

Speaking frankly Everton are in one of the best positions in the league to weather the impending storm.

Hard to think that that was 12months ago (April 2010).

Explosion at Villa.

Lets see where this summer takes Everton ...

Try as far as possible to keep the books balanced, get Barkley etc in the squad and see where it takes us.

I think we need a winger and a striker, but keep the books balanced in so far as possible.

This is going to be mega ninja popcorn. The smart money is on Johnson and Foster to Villa, i stuck 50 on each it when McCleish resigned on Sunday. Come on Randy sort it - ill be brewsterd.

I hope their little protest comes through tomorrow.

 

[davek]

I still think there's twists and turns left in this Villa saga. I dont see McLeish being installed and he'll go elsewhere.

Any classic quotes from any Villa forums yet?
I actually saw one poster state that he still believes Moyes will sign to them this week. Good stuff.

I agree. I cannot fathom how they haven't cottoned onto their financial situation. Denial.

Its like Nuclear Pop Corn after a Pop Corn Famine:

"Birmingham City football club finds Aston Villa's announcement today (Tuesday) to proceed with an interview with Alex McLeish

a contempt of Premier League and FA rules.

"The club feel this will taint football and give the game and the footballing authorities a bad name if this is allowed to materialise. The club will do what is within its powers to prevent this and will lodge a formal complaint to the authorities tomorrow as there is now not the slightest doubt remaining about this tap up attempt.

"Birmingham City FC stresses that this conduct, if condoned, will open up flood gates and set a very bad precedent. This is also an attack against the intelligence and integrity of not only the Villa fans, but most importantly our fans who are badly let down after having just been relegated.

"It is definitely a bitter pill to swallow for all fans concerned, both here and across the city. Never have the two clubs seen such a strong unity between their rival fans and this unity is based on humility and integrity and what is right and fair.

"The LMA's announcement today is refuted as the club has a very rigid approval system where only players formally identified, and with approval forms signed and sanctioned by the manager personally are brought in. The chief scout was sacked only after Mr. McLeish was informed who at that time had chosen not to comment.

"The allegations against the club, president Carson Yeung and the board are frivolous excuses and without foundation.

"The matter is now with Birmingham City FC's lawyers and no further comments will be made."

That has to be about 15 mill in compo for managers this season alone.

Its brilliant, neither set of fans want him and the two clubs are killing each other for him.

This is madness
