Villa TV is £180 per year, £20 per month or £6 per game

Really?! That maths seems weird.

Ours is 110 per year, 12.50 per month, 5 per game.
 
That’s a pretty significant price difference.

Seem to remember a conversation with you last year around what Hull would be allowed to charge. :p
 
So Wednesday's owner held a fan forum this morning to address some of the major talking points for the club:

  • We've been in a transfer embargo since April
  • Not going to make any signings before Thursday's deadline > perhaps a loan or two if clubs don't ask for loan fees
  • Host of clubs (Stoke, Swansea for some) have been throwing complete lowball offers at us for our star players because of the embargo. Like me when i play football manager and like annoying other clubs. So its a lose lose > clubs don't want to pay top dollar because they think we're desperate, we won't release players to get money back because of it
  • Apparently not allowed to re-sign any players who's contacts expire at the end of the season, so a lot of them will be testing the waters and looking elsewhere if not sorted by January
  • Reckons he'd leave this instance if the fans ask
  • Membership and kit prices, or basically, money from the supporters, are the only way we are going to get out of financial trouble, so people complaining about ticket increases or expensive kits have to deal with it
  • (not confirmed by him) there are rumours that all our accounts are being investigated, with some "dodgy" unreported accounts surfacing that may indicate we are paying more than advised (not sure of the source so take it with a grain of salt)
  • Turned down the BBC deal apparantly to set a precedent > reckons that if they allowed a 10% reduction in fees, that would just open the door for further decreases. Wanted to take a stand against BBC
  • Him and his family are petrified of social media and going around the club because of abuse from Wednesday supporters
The worst part though was this:

So basically, we are in a bad place right now :( Owner needs to sack his advisors and get someone who knows what they're doing. He splashed hard on blokes like Rhodes and Fletcher for Carvalhal, and now we're paying big time
could be a very long season ahead. If only we won that play off final hey
 
Best I have seen Leeds play in years. Only one new player in the starting XI as well. Absolutely destroyed Derby away.

Will be interesting to see if the Bielsa style holds up as the season goes on.

Therein is the big question - his style is known to be very taxing over a longneck season

It always comes back to that Hull playoff doesn't it :cry::cry: Had we won that, i think we would have invested smartly and been able to maintain ourselves in the prem. league. Instead, we got desperate and cashed out on a bunch of guys who had good championship reputations, but commanded premier league style wages. Has definitely wrecked us. Chansiri made a comment in the forum that last year, some of those star players who got injured faked their injuries for longer because they were too scared to come back and play and be abused by our supporters! Crazy stuff
