There's a thread on a Bristol City forum that I glance at everytime a financial statement comes out about us. 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.

He's certainly keeping up the BCFC tradition. We've got our own thread on there now.

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.
The loss apart I was pleased to see that Villa were quite open with the EFL in the valuation and sale of Villa Park,so adressing a possible FFP could be solved by the sale of  Grealish worth £60m plus.

Open with EFL, how could they have been otherwise?

Their fans are absolute fucking nutters, living in a dream world. Like a less significant Norwich.

Their manager is a ******, too. Remember him moaning about our 'disrespectful chanting' - after they'd been chanting 'you're not famous anymore' at us during that match.

Obviously, that stopped after we stuck 5 past them.

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.

Not sure we would be investing too much if we were to go down.  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:

                     Nyland

Guilbert       Engels       Hause    Targett

                 Konsa       Nakamba

                       Hourihane

El Ghazi            Samatta        Trezeguet


Bit 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.

Ha good drills.

They're a bizarre non-entity really, I'm not quite sure why they're so hung up on us.

The accounts will almost certainly be discussed on the next episode of The Price of Football podcast which is being recorded tomorrow.

Available on Apple and Android and via Spotify, Kieran MacGuire (who lectures on football finance at Liverpool University) and stand up comedian and sports presenter Kevin Day discuss finance and the beautiful game.

They've already discussed such topics as:
 stadium sales, football agents, Chumps League, FFP, ManU and the Glasyers, Toon and Ashley, Scouting, Bet365.

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

It might struggle to get 100 points but it would piss over anything in that league now.

Only on a Villa fan forum  you would see a thread about accounts turn into a team selection issue😀
However we a blessed that it hasn’t degenerated into a punathon so far.

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

Add Wesley, Ramsey, O'Hare, Davis, Green and the kids and I reckon the attacking players alone would net 60-70 goals across the season in that league.

You'd probably want to add a couple of players (and the money from sales would easily cover us, even after the reduced income) to give a bit more depth in places but the big difference this season to last time we went down is that I don't think we'd be a club in a tailspin like we were then.

Sell Jack, Tyrone and SJM and they will be well on the way!

A team with all those smashed pretty much everyone tey played in that division. We finished 5th because of the drag factor of the first part of the season and things like playing Jedi and/or a crocked Chester at CB.
