Hopefully today gives justice to the families from the hillsborough disaster.
Rip the 96

I agree but we should not be writing about them getting justice 27 years after the incident occurred, this should have been sorted and put to bed long ago.

Very well put mate.
I have a source, that says both new owner, (Ellison), and manager, (Pearson) will be in by Newcastle game.
I'm willing to give my source, kingvilla! Lol

So an Aston villa club shop, wouldn't sell original shirts, or keep profit from sales in their own shop?
{Ed002's Note - The money from shirt sales goes to the manufacturer, the distributor and the retailer, who can make extra adding numbers and names to the shirts. If the club are the retailer (club shop, club website etc.) then they get the retailers cut. The manufacturer (Adidas, Umbro, Nike etc.) pay the club an amount each year which allows them to manufacture and sell the shirts using the correct logos etc.. That is how they justify the money given to the club. So if you walk in to a high street store and buy a Liverpool or Arsenal shirt - nothing goes to the club. There are a few clubs that have negotiated different deals with manufacturers (Real Madrid with Adidas and Barcelona with Nike are the two obvious examples) based upon joint reselling ventures. So the income from shirts is fixed to the £xM or whatever Adidas, Nike etc. pay the club plus a small amount for reselling through the club retail outlets (shop, web).}

Look back to when we announced Martin o'niel.
We still had Doug as owner, and had no announcement made In the press of otherwise.
Yet it was Lerner who appointed him.
I think that's why we are seeing changes happen, the board, manager, redundancy etc. Makes sense that the new owner would want things in place for when in happens, as not their expense, or effort to sort.

How can he play?
Whether you agree with his sentiment or not, he refused to be a part of the team.
He may be back tracking now, but let's be honest, he said it, might of been anger, heat of moment, what ever.
I do agree he is head and shoulders the best we have for his position, but after this, I hope never to see him wear the shirt again.

I actually think, the Chinese mob, or the American would be brilliant.
Both don't know how to fail
Both would throw money to get us back to prem
If was the Chinese, sales from shirts to billions of Chinese would create a revenue stream to cancel out financial fair play.
And both are so wealthy that the money it would cost to get us there could probably be found down the back of their sofas.
{Ed002's Note - The sales from shirts don't go to the club. And the shirts sold in China will not be original shirts in any case.}
