Grey Fox

Next summer, when we know what League we are in, what we have and what we need, what is available, and by which time Scott will have demonstrated to the World what a great player he is having led City to the promised land. We do not need to sell, so don’t

So don’t sell then, reassess next year

Perhaps that is the news ?, perhaps he is staying put.

Well I’m old enough to know what a record is, and that our club rarely breaks records. This year I want different

Good to have options, we could choose a back three ( select from the list I gave) with Tanner and Pring as wing backs, there are all sorts of choices with this squad. What we MUST do though, is keep our quality players, if this is going to be our year. And why not ?

Goods call, but I like him in midfield, but the point is we have more than enough cover at the back

Plus King

Atkinson, Vyner, Roberts , McCorrie , Dickie and Pring,plus youngsters , looks like cover enough

Goalkeeper, maybe, otherwise all looks pretty good

Done

At last , a man with ambition. Glad to get that monkey of my back ?

And I want promotion, for the 25 th million time ?

Why does h have to go now or In January, next summer is still ok for those desperate to sell the family silver. Help us go up and you might find we are rather bigger than the mighty Bournemouth ?

Exactly, and what message does keeping him give to any other potential signing? we do not need to sell this year, reassess next year

Conway plays well with Wells, Bell and Cornick or even Weinman give more options. Looks good to me , especially if we keep our talented youngsters for at least another season

I did , and I know where it is going too

In fact the first , “ what can we get for Conway” thread has just started.

And you will say the same about Conway next year, and probably said the same about Semenyo last.

We may keep our best player, and unbelievably some on here sound disappointed. I want to see Scott in a City shirt next season, and enjoy the football.

Nottingham Forest? There are plenty others, then of course you have the PL with Manchester City , Chelsea etc Those you mentioned that got punished, only were for failing to get promoted. The system is corrupt, plain and simple

Use Wolves then, same story. Brighton took a chance too

Plenty, 1. The only solution to resolving £200m of debt is promotion to the PL ( unless you can find 10 Alex Scott’s). A slow year by year improvement will take longer to fix the problem than I have to live. 2. The current financial rules are ignored by some (allegedly Villa), and designed to protect the existing PL members via parachute payments. So if we are good little boys and play by the rules we are still at a massive disadvantage. Answer, play by your own rules. 3. Players aren’t slaves, of course they can move, typically to clubs with ambition. Make us the club they want to move too, not from. I’m not the one who is being naive here, but the rubbing of hands (or something)of those on here as to how much the club will get for Scott is beginning to annoy me. He has two years on his contract, there is no need to sell now and plenty of need for him in our team.

I can assure you in 57 years time I won’t give a "………………”. But for those around then I’m sure Aston Villa we still be in the Premier League ( if not the European Super League) if you want to see top flight football ️.

Don’t worry Friend, I already have. Every bright young star ? will be sold at the first opportunity, the money ? will then be spent on a load of mediocrity , and in 57 years time we will still be in the second tier, with no doubt the occasional visit to the third in between. Mind you, our accounts will be in order, so that’s something. How much do you think we will get for Conway next year, or should we sell him as a BOGOFF deal with Bell?

The list I gave was purely to illustrate the quality of players that we have let go off in recent times. As to “ what planet “ , the one where as a Bristol City fan of 57 years standing, I have seen them win sweet fa other than the paint pot cup and where we are in the same division as when I saw that first game. The planet where I have seen Swindon , Blackpool , Wigan , Oldham and now Luton in the Premier League. I’m guessing you always wanted to talk to Roger Moore, but never actually did.
