Hi Villa fan in peace.
Regarding Moyes, I don't think he would join us but not for the reasons stated. First of all I think he's far to loyal of a manager to leave you for pretty much a sideways step and I would respect him for that. This is mainly due to the quality of the squads now, rather then money. Personally I think you a much better first eleven then us, but obviously you lack the depth compared to ourselves, although we were in a similar position a few years ago having youngsters on the bench.
Regarding the money, it is there and would be the only reason Moyes would join us. We aren't skint, and we're in a healthy financial state, the only problem is the wages. Martin O'Neill put players such as Habib Beye on huge contracts meaning we have a higher wage bill then Spurs. This is thought to be the reason why he left as Lerner would only give him funds if he reduced the wage bill, since then Houllier has come in and the wage bill has been reduced, therefore funding has been provided. Of course it is easy to say that those funds came from the Milner sale, but with only a short space of time in January we were happy with the spending we had made, therefore no other signings had to be made at the time. Although we were unsuccessful trying to sign Charlie Adam. Now we have a whole summer, we can offload more deadwood on the big wages such as John Carew and will used as 'extra' funds for our budget. I'm not saying we'll be going out spending 40m, but with Ashley Young likely to go we will have a decent sized kitty. Regarding our stadium, it hasn't been upgraded yet, as we're not selling out Villa Park but it is likely to start being revamped next summer.
Anyways, ignore me if you want I know what its like having other fans coming onto your forum and talking about their clubs when people don't want to listen
Good luck for next season though, always liked Everton a club very much like Aston Villa with a great history and fan base and would much rather see you do well then the likes of Tottenham and Man City.
