Careful with money?????? Tight as **** more like. John Gregory's net spending in his years managing Villa was a pitiful £1million. That's a joke amount except to teams struggling in Division 3. It's not even a year's wages to many players!

You have to spend cash in today's game to even survive in the Premier League and I can't see Villa finishing top half with the very limited (in skill and class)squad they've got.

Weren't all Taylor's acquisitions this summer free transfers?

No wonder no-one of any note with ambition wants to play for them.

The least ambitious club in the top flight.
