It pains me to say this but I am 95% sure we will go into administration
Just can not see us escaping this issue now,
You can see players not being payed very soon now and unless we have a buyer with very deep pockets indeed now we are doomed in my view,
Wonder how deadly Doug is feeling now,
He looked very ill at Wembley and this story will not make him feel any better that's for sure,
For all his faults he ran a steady ship and I applaud him for that,
These blogs are hard to read now but I had to put my view down and I sincerely hope my prediction is wrong because Aston villa is my life and these people in charge of my club I hope you all suffer like us fans,
You can all go as far as I'm concerned you have all ruined my club,
Never have I felt so low and depressed,
I never expected this to be so bad.

Having slated this regime for ruined my club.
Don't forget this goes much further back to see this has been getting worse year soon year,
Learner and fox must take a big share of the blame,
Fox payed himself 3 million a year?

And he handed out stupid big contracts to average players,
Must go now
Scared to find some other bad story to come out on my club.

Think we all need to be calm . At the moment there is a mixed bag of information. we are in deep trouble and the wyness suspention is very worrying. Even if there were buyers for the club its not a case of just buying and we are out of trouble. It or any buyer has to go through the fit and proper test . Hopefully we will get to know more over the coming days untill then stay calm as speculation is the road to madness. VTID whatever happens we will bounce back lads, we always have.

I am trying to keep calm but we are talking about the biggest crisis this club have had,
When we were in the 3 div years ago we were in better shape then
I'm hoping to come out of my sleep and it's just a bad dream?
We will bounce back sometime hoping I'm still alive to see it.

I think we need to come to terms with the fact we may not have a club very soon. The only way I can see us getting out of this is by Xia proving he loves that club and selling for the cost of the debt! By all accounts it is staggering! This is embarrassing, terrifying and totally imcompetant! I honestly don't know how people are saying we should rain calm, or assuming that no news is good news, radio silence is not a positive, Xia is in China, he should be in the UK trying to fix the mess he has made of this great club! As much as I hated Lerner, was he still the owner there is zero chance we would be in this situation!

What if Doug decided to own the club again. I remember the club doing well under his administration. Just a thought.

The man is 94 years old and in poor health.
He would want that like a hole in the head mate.
Let him enjoy his time with his family and friends.

This is a dreadful situation and one that could see us in a Forest situation and at worst a Glasgow Rangers one! Saying this both are still around and for a club of our stature there is always going to be a way back. We can only sit and watch this play out but keep right behind the team and support them! I hope Dr Tony is true to his word and finds a way out of this mess VTID.

If reports are to be believed he is freeing us from this current mess by more loans - And what are they leveraged against, the training ground, the stadium, player sales - It's robbing Peter to pay Paul, it's not sustabinable! Xia seems to be fighting tooth and nail to remain in charge when the best option is to sell the club and hope that somebody can come in and clear the debt!

Problem is - to sell the club you need someone to buy it, who in their right mind would want to get involved in this mess.
