I really do they all fcuk off as soon as possible and make us have a league that is competitive again.  Wtf wants to get trounced four or five times a season by that lot.  It is just a question of who gets into it now.  Spurs for example are a complete joke consideration.

It would be great as long as they don't let the C**** enter the Domestic Leagues.

The trouble is would feel like being back in the Championship again. We want to be playing the best teams, and if the scabs all fucked off, we wouldn't be.

but would you want them using the PL say as the warm up for the big games in the Super League?
We would  just become a feeder club.

Aston Villa are a feeder club to the big 6 and top European teams - if for example Martinez gets an offer from Man Utd in the summer he will be gone, same as any other player we have.

You'd have something similar to darts, I reckon, where you've got two separate European 'Champions' - one that wins the UEFA Champions League and another that wins the European Super League or somesuch thing.

I think the reality is though that if the Premier League said that you can't play in both the European Super League and the Premier League, no English clubs would play in the ESL.  The PL is way too lucrative.  It's still not in the FA's interests to piss off clubs like Man City to the point where they might consider moving to an ESL, but honestly ... I don't think it's very likely.

Seems possible that this will be the impetus for the so-called Super League to be established?

I'm not sure it would, and even if it did what's to stop everyone else selling themselves to sovereign wealth funds and media companies, and setting up their own "Super Leagues"?  It'll be like the Wild West. The Premier League have to come down hard and rein all this nonsense in.

On a side note, and to focus back on the cheating chunts, Man City, I can think of three clear ways their cheating has made an impact on Villa: 1) Man City's spending made Lerner retreat from his Villa plan. 2) The James Milner sale led to the sharp deterioration of O'Neill and Lerner's relationship. 3) The Fabian Delph sale.     Each episode was to be a key moment in our spiral towards relegation and near-liquidation.

Nah, it was years of absentee management that lead us to near oblivion.

There are plenty of other clubs who had to live in that period of Man City's financial doping who got nowhere near the low we did.

Lerner cut off the spending, yes, which did a lot of damage, but nowhere near as much as his wider stopping of giving a shit (which, lest we forget, lead to him selling up to the very same penniless shyster who took us so near to oblivion).

Lerner sold us to an absolute crook, who is now in prison somewhere in China. Can't blame Man City for that.

Give them a 20 point deduction!
All this would do is mean one year outside the CL.  Years of dominance at the cost of 1 year outside the CL.  It's nowhere near enough in my book.

20 points deducted today would put them 12th in the PL.
