Probably one of the few times he has been correct though, even if it was accidental with his normal negativity.

It is a negative story though to every decent human being.
It is, and I'm not happy about it but he seems to revel in writing stuff to stick the boot in.

Perhaps we ought to stop giving him reasons to.

What reasons have we given him before now?

Breaching all the financial rules, dodgy deals with Chelsea, Harvey Elliot, selling our arms to our legs...

It's been a terrible time to be a fan in fairness.

This is the ghastly ghoul Suella Braverman visiting a Rwandan migration centre when she was a minister.

That's a different argument altogether though.

Villa upon signing the deal -

Very well, I accept. A man may fight for many things: his country, his principles, his friends, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally I'd mud wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock, and a sack of French porn. You're on.

Let's be honest, though:

Lerner - fortune from MBNA, known for being particularly rapacious in selling debt
Edens - made a fortune in the sub prime mortgage markets
Tony Xia - actual crook, in a Chinese jail
Years of gambling sponsorship - personally, I don't have a problem with this morally, far from it, but I know a lot of people do.

I agree, the Rwanda thing is disgusting, and embarassing, frankly, but we, as part of the entitled, have been wallowing in shady shite for years, as has every other PL club.

A proper (but probably far from perfect) chairman once said: "For brilliancy and, at the same time, for consistency of achievement, for activity in philanthropic enterprise, for astuteness of management and for general alertness, the superiors of Aston Villa cannot be found."

We are now, and have for some time been, run by arseholes. Rich ones who no doubt do the running better than most, but arseholes nonetheless. I'd rather be in the Beazer Homes than take a penny from the genocidal. But, I understand those who feel differently and hope you enjoy the Cells experience sponsored by the CCP. If it gets us a late winner at Hull, it'll be worth it.

Fuck football.

Going back to Mcshiter, towards the end of the season, he wrote an absolute scathing piece on us (i can't remember what it was about now) and he got slaughtered in the comments section of the article. I think it might have been a match report on a game we'd won and it seemed to rankle him.

He’s like a lower rent Jonathan Wilson in terms of how he sees us.

All fair and a sad source for a lot of whataboutery.

A proper (but probably far from perfect) chairman once said: "For brilliancy and, at the same time, for consistency of achievement, for activity in philanthropic enterprise, for astuteness of management and for general alertness, the superiors of Aston Villa cannot be found."

Aye. Had not anticipated us to lead the race to the bottom.

Shame.
