I've worked in the Midlands for 15 years now and work with loads of Villa ST holders. They're normally sane, down to earth people who I have a lot of time for.
However, in my opinion they're seriously deluded about next season. We'll get 100 points / 100 goals is a common theme, as is we'll be everybodies cup final. Really? I think that 17 out of the 24 teams in the Championship next season will have played in the Premiership. Of course they'll be well supported and have a big away following but surely not cup final proportions.
At least they're looking forward to a derby against Burton!

Not convinced that they will take the Championship by storm.I suppose it depends on a clear out and who they bring in but that's not different to many teams.
They are deluded. Its not like they have had one bad season and find themselves in the Championship. They have been in decline for the last decade. I think they are in for a huge culture shock next season.
If Lerner decides to make huge cuts to club expenditure due to lost TV revenue and income from attendances, there's no way they'll be able to rebuild. The high wage earners might not be that appealing for other clubs while I wonder what ability they will have to bring in quality players given the mess at the club.
This could well be Villa's worst period in their history and I wouldn't be surprised if they were relegated again.
How long until we have a new board member called "Villa chris"?
chris must still be in bedor maybe school
Problem is that while we are struggling to find a manager, their already in the transfer market, they've got a lot of cash and Pearson as their next coach.

They've got a lot of costs, a bloated and demoralised squad, 'naturally' arrogant fans who expect to steamroller the Championship, chaos in the Boardroom, and and an owner trying to unload the club onto a Chinese consortium (unlikely to be a quick process) who just wants out. For every Newcastle that dominates the league after relegation there are plenty more who flounder (like QPR this time) or slide further down. Villa seem to be a crisis club on and off the pitch.
Isn't Nigel Pearson as manager still just a rumour?
Are we?
It's, THEY'RE or THEY ARE
Course we are. The rule is if you dont have manager within 36 hours , you are struggling.
Them's the rules.
Where did you hear that from. Maybe Tucker overheard it at supper somewhere.
I'd say there are going to have to be some very dramatic and very shrewd changes at that club this summer before they can even dream of having the sort of season you describe - everyone concerned with Villa are in for a huge culture shock if those sort of attitudes find their way into the dressing room (and Boardroom)
Whose Tucker?Where did you hear that from. Maybe Tucker overheard it at supper somewhere.
Of course, they're queuing up!
Probably your expecting a Slade Mark 2, are you?
Pardon?
thats just wrong
we all know its been extended to 48 hours now
Lots of mentions of "deluded and arrogant fans".
Did you think we were talking about you?Lots of mentions of "deluded and arrogant fans".
They'll be in for a huge shock next season
When 3 million weeds hangers on turn up.
