would be quite risky playing another full season on youngsters and relying on them to keep you up again

How to shake up AV and return to forgotten?

• Randy Lerner selling up to an ambitious arriviste olgiarch/ Saudi prince type willing to splash cash.
• Improving youth team till it's like Southampton or like old West Ham as top players won't want to join unless they get mega buck contracts
• Rather than getting a third rate manager look at the sort of manager a big club like Man U shortlisted along with LVG eg De Boer, even break the bank to get Pep G who may be on the market following Bayern's tika taka CL flop
• You won't win stuff with Agbanglorhor so sell him
• Think like a top 4 club, not a mid table club who are content with a league cup quarter final

AV have got so much potential to be with the big boys - I am old enough remember they used to be considered a giant up there with Liverpools and Man Us but are so woeful now.

The scary thing if AV continue as they are they will be relegated next season.

Agbonlahor, Delph and Vlaar aren't being offered new contracts with one year left so hopefully Agbonlahor leaves but we keep the other two.

We're probably going to get relegated this season. Randy has pulled the plug on funds completely and is trying to sell but we're nowhere near a buyer so by the time we're actually sold the transfer window will be shut and we're in deep, deep trouble

Lambert is staying on at the moment but he's probably our worse manager of a generation so when new owners come in he'll probably go

I've given up caring now the world cup isn't far away

Agree. The only thing that can save AV is a new owner who would sack Lambert, RL offering him a contract is so stupid. The new boss would probably have to pay out Ł2m in compo which for AV is a huge chunk. Having said that if Vincent Tan can buy Cardiff then I don't see why an ambition new owner can't buy AV. AV needs TLC more than any other PL club, as it's a club that could be giant in the way West Brom could never be, but it's in dire straits. Even their fans are giving up an not buying season tickets. Who would want to spend every other week at Villa Park watching your side go for a bore draw on'y to lose.

My mind boggles how we haven't had a Sheikh Mansour type person interested yet, we're as big a prospect as City were, with a good stadium, no debt, and no real big rivals (Birmingham are a mess they don't count)

I think anyone who wasn't around 26+ years ago would just see AV as a minnow and not realise it's one of the "sleeping giants".

[Ryan57]

They've won a European Cup, though. Minnow is also more a word associated with the likes of a League Two side.

They're also the fourth most successful club in England in terms of honours.

There should be major interest, tbh. Especially seeing as though City got a Sheikh despite not being of the stature of Villa.
