Aston Villa are Europa League champions and cementing their place among England's elite — a club utterly transformed, and still rising.
But not so long ago the club was staring into the abyss. Locked in a cash crisis triggered by defeat in the Championship play-off final, one of English football's most historic and successful clubs stood on the brink of financial catastrophe.
Waking The Giant takes you inside one of the most extraordinary revival acts in modern football, from the last-minute takeover by billionaire duo Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens which saved the club, through the promotion and equally remarkable Premier League survival inspired by boyhood supporter Dean Smith, to the return to European football under Unai Emery — and the foundations laid for the triumphs that have followed.

Attention Implies That There is...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Attention implies that there is no centre - 22 June 1975 
• Consciousness, because it is in constant movement, has never found an energy 
which is not contradictory, which is not produced by desire and thought. 
• Can thought ever see its own movement and the futility of its own movement? • Attention implies that there is no centre. 
• Is there a perception, a seeing outside the space which is part of consciousness? • Therearetwohumanbeings,onegetsconditionedandtheotherdoesn’t.Why? 
How has it happened the other doesn’t get conditioned? 
• How does this perception which is beyond attention, beyond awareness, 
beyond concentration come about? 
• Thought is rather superficial, it’s merely a very small part of the operation of the 
brain. 
• Can consciousness be completely empty of its content? • Order and disorder
