Apparently Villa have the seventh highest wage bill in the Premiership and very few of their players will be that high on other clubs wish lists, that will eat into their parachute payments and beyond, they have an owner who wants out and will not be footing too many transfer fees. They have a decent youth structure but suddenly their better players have become nickable. Their one chance I think is to go for it straight away
Another problem Villa have is they could be joined by Newcastle and Sunderland who I believe are more capable of challenging at the top end of the championship than Villa. If it's Norwich and one of those two Norwich more than any of the others would be stronger to come straight back. Villa could be in for a tough barren few seasons I fear to what they have been used to.
What a league the Championship will be next year, loads of traditionally big clubs. Shame we're not part of it.
If Newcastle and Sunderland go down, they'll be able to keep some of their current team and add to it to come straight back up. Villa have to build a whole new squad so I doubt they'll come straight back up

crazy, how is that eve possible with their squad
As a City fan who was brought up in Evesham (full of Vile fans), I am loving it! The years of grief I've received are all coming up roses now.
Their fans are convinced this is just a 12 month holiday from the Prem. I keep telling them that's what we thought, but they won't listen.
Typical that I wait all these years for them to get relegated, and in the season it happens, Leicester look like taking the edge off my joy.
Saw on the news earlier ellis insisted they put 200m in as part off the deal, he said they didIf Aston Villa fans really want to be embarrassed it should be pointed out that the accusation the owners "lacked investment" is somewhat false. They spent 50% of CCFC playing budget on Joe Coles wages. A player who can't even hack it in league 1.
That's as dumb as it gets.
