The biggest slice of luck we ever had wasn’t the goal line technology No goal but the new owners that wobbled into Villa Park a couple Of seasons ago
15-20 years ago I played a lot of football manager. Rather than buy the star players I would buy up the good young players and after a couple of seasons I would have a great team challenging for the title.I feel like Dean Smith has done the real life equivalent of this!
Yep, Lampard sacked. Thomas Tuchel expected to take over.

Get by with my current players and a handful of free transfers / transfer list bargain buys for the first season or so, whilst hoovering up every half-decent 17/18/19 year old. Loan them out as much as possible until they hit 21. After a couple of seasons, you've built yourself a production line of young talent. You can then sell your weaker 1st team players at a massive profit, and replace them with your best 21 year olds. Sell anyone who's 22 and not good enough to be in/around the first team. Reinvest all profits in 17/18/19 year olds.Weirdly, that seems to be our actual plan right now.
I hope he tells england to do one. He can achieve fergie/Wenger status if he stays with Villa
