Comedian Adil Ray Calls Out “Disgraceful” Rival Fans Gloating at Villa’s Plight

There has been rumour and talk, on twitter mainly, of a £50million loan incoming from Xia. Radio WM are saying that is wide of the mark. I have been surprised how many people are saying the talk of loans is good news. Same as finding out some rescue package has been negotiated on the tax situation. It’s better than the disaster of not sorting the tax, but it’s not good news, it’s a situation that should never have arisen in the first place!
The same tweet says that Steve Bruce might be off to Leeds United.
UPDATE: Rego here, a couple of updates: 1) The Leeds United interest in @AVFCOfficial manager Steve Bruce moving to Elland Road has been firmed up but Villa have had no approach as yet. 2) The reports that a £50m loan has been secured by Dr Tony Xia are wide of the mark. #avfc pic.twitter.com/tPIRSCK64B

I'll always indulge optimism! I agree, if we build from this, stop buying old / no sell on players, keep our youth and bring them through, supplement them (if/when we have funds with some quality) and some (as you say) sensible management, all would/will not be lost. ????✌️

I’d be gutted if Andre Green went. If he can get and stay fit, I think he’ll be a cut above anything else that has ever come out of the academy.

Earlier this week Aston Villa started announcing our pre-season warm-up schedule ahead of the 2018/19 Championship campaign.
Games against Telford United, Kidderminster Harriers, Walsall and Dynamo Dresden were the four games announced and we continued with our usual theme of local early games, with Dresden the standout name as we presumably take in a mini training camp out in Germany.

I think it's when the players pick up their ridiculous wages and they say 'oh cool, fair play'…. pic.twitter.com/4LxM4vzwDJ

A good tweet from Ian Taylor… he’s right, we aren’t out of the woods yet.
Nice to see sense being spoken Ian, as I'd expect from you. Some seem to think the HMRC salvage is good news and that a £50m loan is great. The 1st should never have happened and is a rescue package, the second is v alarming.

And for absolutely no Villa reason at all… one of the most beautiful songs ever written… a great version here:
Today would've been #Prince's birthday. If you've not seen him play 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' with Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and George Harrison's son, Dhani, you really should. The BRAIN-MELTING solo by #Prince starts at 3:28. pic.twitter.com/1qHLzjCvJo
