I'm starting to wonder whether we should just do some house cleaning, build a younger team but not go all out to kill ourselves by selling anything that moves. Then accept our fate from FFP at the end of next season (whatever it is and we are not sure what it is exactly) and move on. We aim for promotion the season after next but give it a good go this season.

I wonder if we are hoping to get back some of the corporate match day business that we lost lock stock and barrel to the Albion in relegation?
That's a good point.
There will be more around I would imagine with Albion being with us again.
No comparison now that they don't offer PL footy.
I hate the phrase with a passion but Every Little will Help in our situation.

What is our fate likely to be?
This thing is such a bloody confusing mess to try and get your head around.
Well mine anyway

The fine is scaled so that's more easily worked out.

Points deductions etc are impossible to gauge given the discretionary nature of the sanction.

The difference is we're Aston Villa and nobody gives a good fuck about these other clubs outside their fan base. We sell copy and bait clicks.

Small Heath going to the wall? So fucking what.

So, you think other people give a fuck because we are Aston Villa?

Unfortunately, you are wrong.

At least you are consistent.

Tell me more about Hilary.

Guess we're taking up column inches because nobody cares.

As the late Nasher would say #facepalm

Not much bravado about Bruce now is there?
Hilarious how you now decide to criticise a manager that was in charge for about three months.

If we'd approached last Saturday as if we were playing Fulham rather than Barca we might not be having to fret about this now. Cheers, Steve, really appreciate it, mate.

That 1st half. We could still have been 1-0 down, but it will haunt us. Still, it was only half as bad as 2000, so by 2036 we will likely have a good 90 minute performance in a final.

That's the spirit.

I'm not sure why you think me seeing the awful Remi Garde is hilarious. Or quite what Bruce and bravado and I have to do with anything really.

Look, I get it, you're next in line to have a go. But you're reaching Delinquent, really reaching to grasp at something. I am, as always, flattered. But best leave it to the bigger boys, blame it on the phone and move on.

Go lad, off you pop.

Oh did-dums. Do you have a kewl name like the Anti-Ads Alliance? Ticks the boxes that.

I'm not snidey, I'm just too bigger game for you to hunt. And that burns, I can tell. I'll condescend the shit of you to be fair, but only in retaliation. There's nothing snidey about me, I'm entirely honest and more than happy to oblige you or anybody who wants to be confrontational with me.

Big game. Retaliation?

Absurd.

Carry on with your battles on here. You've had a few.

Surrender accepted.

A future tip, it's better to focus your strength on one thing rather than kiss chase me around multiple threads. It keeps your element of surprise in tact.

Better luck next time slick.
