Did, and indeed, dums!!!

I stopped reading when it said he was a Villa fan!

I can't be arsed listing the reasons why I would do this, because I suspect you all already know all of them!

Fuck off you jealous little prick!

Randy Lerner has sunk hundreds of millions into Villa, is that fair to those clubs behind them in the league that dont have an owner willing to do that?

As for the rags, more revisionist whitewashing of history from someone that probably wouldnt know football existed before 1992.

It smacks of bitter, self-entitlement. He bigs up Villa's history, yet dismisses City had any pre 2008, as if we just sprang up from thin air. I wonder if this guy was complaining when Lerner took over, and bankrolled them from being an 11th-15th club, to one competing for European football? Did he whinge when Villa signed Young from Watford for a large sum of money, "ripping" the heart of them, and contributing to a "traditional and honest" club getting relegated after working so hard on a limited budget to get there? Hypocrite.

And its funny he uses Lescott (Wolves), Barry (Brighton), Milner (Leeds and Newcastle) amongst others as examples of players we've stolen.

Without even a hint of awareness of the folly of his argument.

The best response to this fool's blog by far came from Blueknight:-

Speculation is growing that Manchester City may have exchanged money for players, leading opposing fans to claim that they have ‘bought’ the title.

The Premier League was set up in 1992 as a collective non-profit cooperative with the sole objective of volunteers coming together to mutually benefit society and culture. Rule 3.2.7 prohibits any exchange of money for players or their services.

Since 1992 Manchester United have opted to grow all of their players in small pots on a windowsill in Stretford in a similar method to that used to grow cress.

Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted on only using local, organic soil after attributing Ryan Giggs’ curly chest hair to a particularly good batch of earth.

Since the inception of the Premier League Arsenal has exclusively used the website Gumtree to advertise for all of their players

Gunners midfielder Tomáš Rosický famously signed for the London club after he accidentally happened upon their ‘players wanted’ advert whilst searching the classified site for a replacement rear-wiper blade for his 1998 Hyundai Sonata.

Chelsea assembled much of their 2005/6 Premiership-winning squad from the unsuccessful applicants to Channel 4’s desert island reality television programme Shipwrecked.

And Liverpool’s current squad is entirely made up of discarded public sector managers who are compensated with buttons, small lengths of twine and delicately carved ornate fruit and vegetables, similar to those found in Thai restaurants.

Ian Simms is president of the Manchester United supporters association and spoke to News Manc regarding City’s reported use of financial methods to obtain players.

“It goes against everything the league stands for.”

“When the Premier League was set up everyone agreed that this wasn’t about money, it was about carefully nurturing players in small pots of nutrient-rich soil. Like our ancestors did.”

If City are found guilty their Chief Executive Mark Trimble could be forced to spend the next 12 months on internet forums and social media sites tediously debating what actually constitutes ‘buying a title’.

“To be fair, that does sound a bit harsh”, admitted Simms.

***Lol*** :-)

I thought it was fascinating that United's squad last week cost essentially the same as City's, but it's completely ignored in the media. From a neutral's point of view, why wouldn't you want new teams challenging the ones that have been dominating for yeaaaaaaaaars?

The Villa cretin clearly doesn't know that his multi-millionaires toy of a club can't afford to exist at their current level without their yank sugar daddy stumping up hundreds of millions of free money so far and even then they're in debt to the tune of £50 million per annum.

Before the Sheikh even came along Villa's own rich American owner was trying to elevate them beyond their previous level.

From a more grounded Villa fan:

''Randy Lerner invested £100 million in transfer fees under O’Neill and paid high wages to many players who perhaps did not warrant such high earnings. He recouped only £20 million in O’Neill’s reign meaning a loss of over £80 million with no silverware or Champions League football to show for it. His project had ultimately failed and perhaps his reluctance to bank roll another season under O’Neill or his realisation that the need to balance the books was a necessity led to the departure of O’Neill''.

Easier to try and blame us rather than the inadequecies of his own club the hypocritical ill-informed delusional hypocritical fuckwit.

I read no more. Pre-teen stuff that. Nonsense.
