Looks like its attracted a couple of Villa fans too (anybody off here?).It's basically the internet equivalent of a child jumping up and down saying it's not fair!!!A site called OTIB and in the FPP thread. Jesus, what a bellend that Pompousopolous is.

If our owners are pouring the amount of money into us to keep us compliant with FFP with the premier league - then if we are relegated we will be in real trouble.They must be mad, because there is no way they will get there investment back if they decided to sell.

Wonder what our transfer strategy will be if we go down. I assume it will be to go for reasonably proven but still young championship players like Joe Lolley and Eze of QPR who reminds me a bit of Grealish way he plays.Players who can get us promoted and also have potential to play in premier league like Jarred Bowen.

Would expect Grealish, Mings and McGinn would be gone, but not many others really.Could probably be looking at a starting line up of something like: NylandGuilbert Engels Hause Targett Konsa Nakamba Hourihane El Ghazi Samatta TrezeguetBit of quality added in the positions where I've got Hourihane and Trezeguet and it looks OK. Still think it would be a massive struggle again if we went down and every effort needs to be put in for the remainder of the season to avoid that happening.

A shit team that is, with no backbone, leaders or attachment to the club. It would struggle.

A Villa team with Grealish, Mings, Abraham and McGinn only finished 5th, so I’m nor sure I’d be that confident.
