Yet he’s identified ‘Robert Huth’ as a new signing.
A guy who’s at the end of his career looking for one last big pay deal.

Good their fans deserve a good few years down in the championship
A club spends one season out of the premiership and they are broke.
I'm delighted for them, horrible bunch.
We seem to be doing things properly.
I understand that they have been defering / partially paying wages since January and had in excess of £20M in bonuses lined up if they had been promoted. Seems that they were gambling the present on the future & it's backfired.
They've paid McCormack & Agbonlahor around £3.5M each in the last 18 months & they've barely kicked a ball for the club
Or have one of the best grounds in League One.Quote:

Villa - Quietest ground I've ever been to. WBA best supporters in the midlands.Quote:

But what villa have done is just crazy. John Terry 100k ... Shocking.
Two seasons out of the Premier LeagueQuote:
