You said this :-
“...aquiring two business savvy, ambitious, relatively wealthy owners can re-ignite ambition and hope among a supporter base, though...so there is that!”
And you said it like it is/should be, the most naturally accepted thing in the world and nothing wrong with it , I asked isn’t that precisely why Villa fans had an issue with us ?
To me, that’s hypocrisy , or are you going to go full dipper on us, and claim “it’s not the same when it’s us”, and somehow “different”, mate ?
For me

I can't talk for him, but myself I had a massive grin on my face when City was taken over, and was blowing the so called big teams out of the water in transfers.
I'm 44 and followed villa since I was 3 so seen plenty of ups and downs just like yourselves, I've always found city fans to be very level headed.
Even once the club came into untold riches, I remember the game 92/93 we were challenging the Dirty man s for the title, we beat you 3-1at villa Park, and yourselves were celebrating more than us, I can remember the city fans holding up a massive banner saying "good luck villa from the city of Manchester" ever since then I've always rooted and hoped your time would come so you can put your neighbours in there place.
As each year passes by and you win titles and them nothing just make me smile.
On to our owners, they are not borrowing against the club, they are both billionaires and are using there own money and clever accounting .
But due to the restrictions we can do what you did, how I'd love that to put the so called old big 4 noses out of joint even more than they are now with you doing it to them.
On grealish, I don't listen to rumours or ITK as for a deal that would take him from us to you your talking mega millions and I think both teams wouldn't be broadcasting it, and no doubt on big transfered anyone in and around the clubs and players are told nothing or to not say a word or they will no longer be part of the club.
Will he leave us and join you, I honestly don't know and I think the only people that know are the ones that do the deals, if he does go he will go with open arms from me, for all he has done getting us back up, I feel he won't go this season, but you never know.
Any keep putting them dirty rags down, it's great to watch them not winning things and having to endure what yourselves have had to endure for year with them
