I maintain Onomah did well on the occasions he played in his actual position. Look back to the first half of the season, he had some really good games and some key contributions. He did suffer when moved out of his position, but he’s a young player not a bad player.

Moxley says "Villa's problems have seen a string of players leave".
Not exactly an exodus of leavers other than Terry and the loanees?

Bizarre.

The addition of the word ‘loan’ would have helped that piece...

Even though Aston Villa now have 3 "billionaire" owners, I really cannot get excited about the fact.

There are no guarantees about anything in football. My worry is if they set out a plan, whether it's CL football in 5 yrs, or just to be surviving as an also-ran in the PL in 3 yrs I'm concerned that if we don't achieve the goal these people will lose interest and things will go to rack and ruin again, especially when in the everyday man's terms they probably paid (cost vs wealth) a couple of microwave ovens to buy in. Remember we got relegated under the watch of a "billionaire custodian", one whose name was sung loud and proud by many Villa fans in 2006. It doesn't matter who is in charge of the club or how rich they are. If they lose interest, if they take their eye off things, things will go downhill.

My main concern is that we are going to win so many trophies, people will start to think that I'm a glory-hunter.

It mostly doesn’t matter because of FFP.  It’s going to be difficult this season, doubly so next year when the parachute payments run out completely.

I see FFP as a tool to keep the elite as elite (the Real Madrids, Bayerns, Juves of this world.

It's also a convenient excuse for club owners to hide behind when they can't or don't want to pay for ambition. Bournemouth were recently fined £4.75m for their activities while in the Championship three years ago (less than 1/20th of their TV/prize money for next season). QPR were hit with a £40m fine, but with the option to pay in instalments over the next ten years, I understand.

Over to the Dr and his new investors...

The UEFA FFP is a tool to keep the elite on top. The Football League FFP is to stop teams going bust.

The worst thing that could happen would be if we turned into a new man united, imagine villa park full of prawn sandwich eating glory hunters.
Horrible thought.
