I hope Xia has deep pockets. There are sure to be an army of Villa fans clamouring for Bruce's head tonight in the WM phone in.Can you remember all their fans boasting how much better a manager Sherwood was going to be than Pulis when these guys joined Villa and Albion respectively? Even Sneekes agreed with them at the time. Now 4 managers later things have moved on...
Tonight no doubt, having bought "star" players from championship rivals, they will be moaning because when they pull on the " great club's" shirt they cannot cut it for Aston Villa. Villa have a regiment of non-performing players e.g. Agbonlahor on £60k per week, Bacuna, McCormack et al. It would cost £100m plus to get them all out of the club. Could Villa get into a bigger mess? Could they possibly have done more things wrong?
As for Wolves they are obsessed with the cup run and until they are out it seems to me they will continue to slide. Whilst we struggled to bring in quality players, Fosun had no trouble bring in a dozen or so players for Wolves, most of whom never got anywhere near the first team. Now they have got to get rid of them. Maybe some of them will work in League 1. Fosun too, will need to keep shelling out.
All in all, it shows how mismanagement can screw up football clubs.
