One very bitter author...

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

United are built on £600.000.000 of debit.

Arsenal poached talent from Southampton, Cardiff etc.

Liverpool spent £100.000.000 to win the league cup.

Didn't hear him crying for when Chelsea nicked SWP and Sturrage.

Yes we bought the best and it will make us the best HOORAY.
 
When he says our MO is ruining football and yet Villa under Randy Lerner were "under transition" I am reminded of that George Bernard Shaw anecdote where he offered.a woman a million pounds to sleep with him which she agreed to. He then revised his offer and offered her a pound. She refused saying "what sort of woman do you think I am?" To which Shaw replied:"we have already established that, now we are merely negotiating the price".

I am sure that if ADUG had thought that Villa had a bigger potential for growth it would have been them, and not us they would have bought in 2008. Perhaps Villa's smaller crowds and smaller stadium at the time put them off.

Blues of a certain vintage will remember Villa coming in and raiding the club of our manager, Billy McNeill, in 1986, which quite possibly cost us relegation that season. I remember feeling a little irritated at Villa's greatet financial muscle, but even then I realised how the world works and took it on the chin. Perhaps if Lerner had invested the Milner money in the team rather than reducing his own financial exposure this writer (assuming he's actually a Villa fan) would feel as I did back then rather than an overwhelming sense of bitterness.

I would also add that I would rather have an owner that drilled for oil, than one whose company operated on the edges of the sub-prime market in terms of the interest rates that it charges its less well off customers.
 
The £400 million sponsorship of Man City’s stadium by Abu Dhabi Group owned Etihad is, overtly and unashamedly, just another way to pump £400 million of their own money into the club. It is cheating, and it undermines the system, again. But even if this system does work, there is a very high chance that it will be a poisoned chalice.

How the fuck can he get away with that? I really hope the club take action in this ****.
 
Why bother to post it here? The author admits being call a cnut was it 35 times and rightfully so.
 
'The league is in danger of becoming repetitive and non-competitive.'

This has only just happened? Really?

Also the thick get can't spell 'rein in' and is apparently oblivious to the fact that FFP will screw clubs like Villa forever, and make sure the league is 'repetitive and non-competitive.'
 
There is little doubt that we are the lottery winners of world football, but as they clambered to point out in 2008 "you can't buy this league" and "top players wont come because you have no history" which has slowly but surely turned into this bile in the OP, it's crystal clear that they are jealous and I don't blame them, if the boot were on the other foot I would be jealous too but it isn't so I'm not lol

We are the council estate lottery winner driving back down our old street in a porsche 911 dripping in gold wearing designer clothes and the old neighbours think we are flash and arrogant, it's understandable but at the end of it all we are the ones sat in the porsche so sod em, lets drive !!!.

For some reason, people seem to have a problem with a guy taking money from one bussiness and injecting it into another. What the fook is wrong with this!!

Im my town we have a factory owned by that Majeski fella, the same one that owns Reading FC. When people moan about what our owner has done I always ask them 'If one of Majeski's bussiness was making profit ten fold but the other was struggling and needed some moeny pumped into it to make it stronger-weather it be new players at the club to push them on or things like new machinary to make the factory run in a more profitable way, would it be wrong for him to take the huge profits from one bussiness to make another stronger? Or would they rather see a football club fold or a factory go under and see thousands of people lose their jobs?

They usually cant say fook all back to that.

Poor analogy TMI. We are showing considerably more restraint and "class" than that.
