All this, and Villa just happening to be playing Newcastle tomorrow night. Who'd have thought it.

when it comes to transfer speculation they are all much of a muchness
I vaguely remember that there was survey done years ago to work out the most accurate papers for transfers. The Daily Heil won with 4% of their stories coming true and that’s a paper that employs real journalists, well, sort of. I repeat - they were the most accurate.Think about that footy.

All in the next 48 hours . This is where Ornstein and The Athletic tie themselves up in knots and lose further credibility. they are no better than scrolling through Xon Almiron, David Ornstein in The Athletic has highlighted this unity, quoting Howe saying, “his priority for this window is just to keep hold of his players.”It does amuse me how offended some of our fans get when journalists or pundits say things that we don't like. Ornstein's credibility is beyond question, whether he's right in this particular instance or not. The truth is you'd only ever find out if the transaction happens and even when there is interest from all sides, there are many reasons why a deal may not ultimately be agreed or complete. The Athletic have a policy that they will only ever report stuff if they have two separate sources saying the same thing. Jacob Tanswell explained how that can be frustrating and they have lost scoops because of this.Same policy as Sky Sports News then, according to Dan Bardell*.*He’s a Villa podcaster who sometimes works for Sky.

This window has, for me, shown that any positives FFP brings are massively outweighed by a whole range of problems. Tying player wages and fees to commercial income sounds sensible if you don't dig into the details but as soon as you put any thought into it all the problems we see were inevitable from the outset.
Hang on, there are THREE Sky Sports News channels?!

Collomosse seems pretty clued up.
As hard as it is to accept, it's something we'll need to get used to.
