What’s all this about?

Probably sick of fielding questions about transfers by over anxious Villa fans.

He's sick of twats like Romano and Ben Jacobs using their platforms to unsettle players hoping they end up at their favourite "big 6" clubs.

Damian Vidagany

Market finished. We gave all what we had. Unai, Monchi, owners, staff…No holidays, no rest. I said in the May’s awards dinner- before Morgan’s disallowed UCL goal-  it was going to be very challenging.  But f… hell! I respect every opinion of anyone that love this football club. We must do better for sure. But let me explain: genuine expectations are now in a difficult place. In modern football the key to compite well on the market are not only good virtues like your caliber, owners, wishes, ability or results…the main key are the REVENUES. Period. To avoid  the financial control cost cut you need revenues. If not, then come the frustration as the feeling of the fan is that “as much as we win on the pitch as weaker or shy or slow we are in the market”… the clubs with revenues and no results they spend  fast and spend stronger to wipe us from top, as it is normal. And to get revenues and break the evil circle we need UNAI, owners engaged, success, time and good players and good business people like Francesco Calvo! But mainly we need togheterness and unity. UTV I love our Villa staff!!!

I dont like him. Talks a big agme but doesnt deliver.

I mean you have wage issues yet you think paying sanchos 200k a week wages is a good idea...

Time will be the judge. If we have a successful season then we will have done so whilst also putting the financial position right. They’ve had their hands tied behind their backs. Now we see whether it works out.

His final sentence is interesting

No mention of Monchi. I reckon he's done.

He mentions him at the start. He’s got rid of who we needed to, disappointing incomings although his hands are tied to an extent. Selling JJ is a mistake he may regret for numerous reasons but we will see

Nothing to do with that. It's the depressing dross about outgoings, Monchi etc that you've been whining about without seemingly showing any comprehension to why these things are happening for the best part of 12 months.

I respect the post.  Hes basically said the whole things a corrupt pile of shit, but we did our best.  Back Unai and the wider management. 

Cant really argue with any of that

Wider picture here but I do worry that Nas snd Wes will begin to see this as a futile.

They want to be at the CL and winning things. This Summer has been stark reminder that the rules aren’t geared to let that happen.

Sure there are exceptions but getting that consistency is verging on impossible.

Ah moving the goal posts now. Gotcha

You have just described 80% of the forum and its justified that its been a poor window and poor work from monchi.

The clubs  gine backwards are we suppose ro be happy  and not raise our concerns?
