Anyone a little concerned about their impending/inevitable takeover?
As has been seen on many occasions at other clubs, changes of ownership, regardless of the personal wealth of the new people in charge, doesn't automatically equate to success and improvement (though obviously in some examples the transformation has been huge, Man City being the obvious example).
At our present level, while the odds are stacked against clubs like Albion, any Premiership club can win the League Cup or FA Cup, but in terms of winning the title or finishing in the top 4/5 there's some seriously wealthy competition for any club like Villa who may have aspirations of eventually competing at that level in the event of the rumoured Billionaire Americans who some media sources appear to be linking to Villa, taking over.
But while the FFP guidelines make major transformation a lot more problematic, though not impossible, the scenario I guess most Villa fans are hoping for, mega rich new owners in the Billionaire bracket, can bring it's own huge pressures and expectations and in common with all loyal Baggies, in Villa's case I sincerely hope things work out badly, that their hopes are built up to ridiculous levels only for them to continue to underachieve and leave their fickle fanbase in a state of perpetual angst and frustration.
