Who, out of the current squad, would you be sad to see go?
And which, if any, of the players do you see staying in the Prem? and which will stay at Villa?
Potentially there are 3-4 players I wouldn't be too disappointed if Everton signed (Gill, Gustede, and to a lesser extent Grealish and Ayew) but I'm not gonna get overexcited about any of them. Hopefully Lescott never comes back.

Confidence in coming back up - not high. Very dependent on a) new manager, b) shipping out the crap, c) investing in new players and d) hanging onto the few decent prospects. We need a keeper, couple of defenders, couple of midfielders and a couple of forwards at the very least.
Lerner won't be selling any time soon I don't think - he's unlikely to get what he wants as a Championship club so setting up the new board structure allows him to be hands off. Whether he'll sanction spending to get back up is the big unknown - I do know we'll be getting buttons for the players we do want to sell.
