Well if you believe the news reports he sent x amount of money every month from China to the UK to cover Villa's expenses, then the Chinese government being the Chinese government suddenly changed the rules about moving money from China with zero notice which left him stuck.

If your support is conditional, you'd be better off jacking it in. Totally agree. I support the club, not one player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrying amount of self entitlement and instant gratification has crept into our fanbase in recent times. I hope we keep Nando, but I'm not sacking the club off if he leaves. That's not how supporting a club works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody daft situation IMO? Maybe the loss of Loovens and Wallace from the wage bill coupled with the sale of Hunt and loan for Rhodes was enough to convince them that we're taking steps to trim costs? Maybe they were convinced that D Taxis and Elev8 really exist and are paying top dollar for sponsorship? Either way, getting out of the embargo buys us a bit of wiggle room in the short term, but unless we use the opportunity to wheel and deal our way out of longer term trouble, I'm sure we'll be back under embargo soon enough.

That's not how supporting a club works. Selling to Leeds would be a sacking offence as far as I'm concerned. In fact, it would be a hanging job. Black cap and all. Selling Nando would be bad enough, bearing in mind that we're paying inflated prices so that doesn't happen, but selling to Leeds would be the last straw. The romance went out of football 50 years ago. It's a business, and we're customers. You don't sell your best player to a local rival and help them go to the PL. You try to take 6 points off them and if you can nobble any of their better players to boot, so much the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is a serious concern that needs to be pressed on, sexism can still not happen at this club in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
