First welcome back to General K after a well deserved break hope you are fighting fit !

He has picked the right day to come back and makes the following comments about the news today and the summer so far

2. As you all know, I do NOT do transfer talk but I do think it is important to note a few things:
a) Randy has NOT lost his passion for Aston Villa Football Club!! He has not lost his passion for his vision and goal. Randy has spent more time in the UK over the past two months than he has ever spent. He has been working many issues and has been at Bodymoor Heath often. I doubt if there is an owner in the Premiership that spends as much time, in person (not on phone) at the training grounds. He is Villa through and through!
b) I hope everyone knows that I have NOT lost my passion for the Villa and for what we are striving for!! Not in a heartbeat!!

c) “Sell to buy” is too easy a sentence to say. In reality, it encompasses many things. At the end of the day, Football is a business and needs to make sense. The first issue on the revenue v. expenditure scale is wages…wages for the staff and wages for the players. These wages need to make sense and need to be looked at every couple of years. We are doing just that….just like almost EVERY Club in the Premiership is doing. Simply put, if we don’t look at those players who are drawing wages but not playing, we are making a mistake. This is just business. MON knows it, Randy knows it, the Board knows it and YOU all know it. In order to pay a competitive wage to those who are playing for the Club and to enable us to find and get new talent, this is necessary. It is also what football clubs have been doing over the ages. The transfer window is NOT shut…let’s see what happens.

The General for me has confirmed what I said in the earlier blog post and he is spot on.

How any fans can doubt Randy is beyond me. Maybe it is the fickle nature of fans that does this to people but sometimes the wider and longer term picture SIMPLY has to be taken into account. Don’t worry General here is one fan 100% behind Randy and his control of Villa, I support him 100% of the way and of course you !

As for the bit about to sell to buy I explained that before and makes total business sense and if some fans can not see that then maybe they should look at Portsmouth.

Before anyone says to me you did not say this about Ellis, well just look at how much Randy pumped into the club on and off the field before making that statement.

Get real some of you !
