Shrewd Deadly
Player of the season would have to be James Milner in my opinion. One of the only players to bring exciting football back to villa park and has even got the Trinity Road stand excited on occasions (as anyone who has ever sat there would know, it is a rare thing). Surely his performances have warrented deadly pulling the required £4m from his back pocket and shipping it Newcastle Utd's way. Even Milner has said that he is settled at Villa Park, so we should go for it. I cannot believe that we are so cash strapped that we cannot afford players, when the list of the most profitable clubs in the world came out late last year, Villa was 20th on that list. Perhaps this is because we only now spend money as a last resort, when all other resources have been exhausted, and therefore...
My question is: Is deadly doug preparing us for the drop, so we aren't in such a situation that we cannot bounce back immediately? Perhaps he observed the catasrophic fall from grace that Leeds Utd had a few years ago, and is taking measures to ensure that we can bounce back straight away. Certainly we are flirting with relegation this year, as we have now manoeuvred ourselves to 17th in the league, and although we are 10 points clear, we are by no means safe.
If this is true, fair play to Doug Ellis. He has taken stick from alot of fans in the past, and I will admit to wanting a new chairman, but he has been a good servant to the villa. He says he is waiting for the right deal to come along, and see if the new financers can provide a 'War Chest' for which the manager (note I don't say O'Leary) will be able to purchase the right players to move the club forward.
On another point, young player of the season is Steven Davis. Just a shame that there isn't another award because it would be a shame for luke moore to not have his services recognised this year. All 3 (Milner, Davis and Moore) have been our shining lights this year.
