Have they been here this season?
Should they not be showing an appearance here now? Talking to employees of all levels and the fans?
Do they even care about the future if the Club?
Or simply do they just want to make sure they get as much money out as possible before cutting and running? |

Handball rules among those changed by Ifab for next season

Neymar's disallowed goal in the 2015 Champions League final is referred to in the new rules
Goals scored or created with the use of an accidental handball will not stand from next season onwards, the International FA Board (Ifab) have confirmed.
The changes mean that a free-kick will be awarded when a goal or clear chance occurs from a handball.
Ifab technical director David Elleray explained the changes at their AGM in Aberdeen.
"Deliberate handball remains an offence," Elleray stressed.
"In the past we've managed to improve the laws by focusing on outcome rather than intent.
"What we are looking at particularly in attacking situations is where the player gets a clear unfair advantage by gaining possession or control of the ball, as a result of it making contact with their hand or arm."
Standard of Scottish refereeing "very high" - InfantinoSo what has changed?
The changes mean gaining control or possession and then scoring as a consequence of handling the ball will not be allowed - neither will a goal scored directly from handling the ball, regardless of intent.
Another change to the laws of the game means that if the player's arms extend beyond a "natural silhouette", handball will be given, even if it is perceived as accidental.
Elleray says this is an effort to put an end to defenders placing their arms behind their backs in fear of giving away a free-kick.
"We've changed it to say the body has a certain silhouette," said Elleray. "If the arms are extended beyond that silhouette then the body is being made unnaturally bigger, with the purpose of it being a bigger barrier to the opponent or the ball.
"Players should be allowed to have their arms by their side because it's their natural silhouette."
In other changes approved by Ifab, substitutes will have to leave the pitch at the nearest goalline or touchline instead of walking to their technical area in a bid to stop time wasting.
Additional approved law changes included measures to deal with attacking players causing problems in the defensive wall, giving a dropped ball in certain situations when the ball hits the referee and the goalkeeper only being required to have one foot on the line at a penalty kick.

Thread | Fans leader and leadership body required
at 19:26 3 Feb 2019
I've read a lot of threads and posts on here today but it has been very hard work.
Threads are going in all directions but what is clear is that there is a huge amount of distrust and disenchantment with the current situation.
By their own inaction over really the last 7 years, the Trust has lost the respect of a lot of fans and by their increasing inaction since the sale by the sellouts their self respect has dwindled further.
There is a dire need for everyone to pull together, a leader to emerge, and a body to fight the interests of the fans to be formed. That should have been the Trust but that doesn't seem possible now.

Thread | Sir Doug Ellis
at 12:50 11 Oct 2018
Former Villa chairman Sir Doug Ellis has died today aged 94.
A true football man, although liked and loathed in equal measures by some Villa fans, he still attended games.
No doubt there will a tribute before our game and I will be honoured to show respect as I'm sure all our fans will be in the usual manner.
RIP |
