Are we the club that everyone just likes to shit on?

It does seem like that sometimes

We've lost far better players than these before in my opinion.

Maybe the answer is in the NFL where they have a draft picks system.   Not sure how it would work but certainly the principle is a good one.

and a proper salary (transfer) cap to keep clubs from hoovering up all the most expensive players.

The point is that this is your football club. We have no divine right to be at the top and winning trophies. We don't have the finances of those top 6 teams.

Go and watch the odd lower league game and you will see what it's all about.

But give Sherwood a chance, he'll get us playing decent football.

I don't get this "no loyalty in football" etc nonsense. Top players will go wherever the money/ambition is, and we have spent precious little of the former and shown absolute zero of the latter over the last 5 years.

It's hardly a sudden shock that money rules the game and most players are either greedy bastards or want to play in better sides and that the richest clubs win the most trophies.

The point is i'm Villa, and that's the only point.

What's the point of Bury, Chesterfield etc. What's the point of Genk when we sign their best player. Or any other club when we take their players who sees us as a step up/more money.

Edit: Percy said similar.

Well of course he's been given a chance, have you seen how many fans turn up every other week? We want to see some ambition, so what's wrong with saying that? We don't just sit there like nodding dogs and take every bit of shit thrown at us by Lerner and co.

There is no point. But then that goes for all human activity. One day the sun will consume the solar system and none of it will matter.

Anyway, have a nice weekend everyone.

I'm sure that's the view with every Villa fan out there, but let's see a bit of ambition at the club. We have our pride you know.

We are making up the numbers. When a club like Man City can take our best midfielder to boost there home grown players...then it is a joke. The days are long gone for competition...we can only dream of CL let alone the championship, same goes for a lot of clubs. We are either waiting for a stupidly rich takeover or a change in the system.

My mate stopped going to The Villa after they sold his seat because he left it late renewing. That was his tipping point. He now watches Solihull Moors and bores me shitless about how cheap it is, how good the beer in the clubhouse is, how it's all played in the right spirit without money ruining everything.

"Why don't you come with me?" He asked.

"Because I wouldn't give a shit who wins".
