My thread title just before the world went to shit, is definitely better.

Find someone who loves you the way the echo loves FSG.

As I'm somewhat cunty, it's not an either or. Bit like your unearned self superiority.

It was a jokey fucking parody, and that gif tells me exactly how serious you really take yourself. Fuck me - follow up words with actions? Alright John Wick, chill yer boots.

I'm sure their forums are just dudes telling everyone they don't need to replace any aging players and flogging the same squad into the ground season after season is the way to get the most out of them. Any suggestion that they should be in the market for the best young players is met with scorn and the completely unearned self superiority of their bestest poster in the whole wide world - Scott_the_m-anc

Good to see villa are no longer a selling club and can still buy players, hopefully that has to be our long term ambition.

We're loaning Kelleher back to ourselves?

I saw some shite about them having over £200m to spend this window, so if that's anywhere near the truth, it won't be an either or situation.

So a league set up in secret by the some of the most corrupt owners in footie, wasn't a way for them to enrich themselves? Yeah, this may still be a hypothetical, but I'll die on that hill. It was set up for themselves (not just FSG but every owner) and no one else. I've taken the time to answer all replies in here, so forgive me if I'm not impressed with your continually weird attempts to try and patronise rather than deal with the discussion, so I guess you can carry on pretending. It suits you.

Unless we know the exact workings of the club in every scenario, then yes my friend, we're all dealing in hypotheticals. Otherwise it would be a news site.

Learn. To. Read. I didn't say they are lining their own pockets, but I guarantee they absolutely would have in that McDonalds Burger King league set up by the football mafia.

And just to add on with a question, does anyone doubt we'd spend the least in that Disney super league?

So now we've gone from me suggesting we should be all over Sancho - which is the truth, to me wanting a bench full of £80m players. Come on, dude.

If it happens, it will happen in daylight, and we would be guaranteed to be in it. Under those circumstances I'd understand why it was happening. i wouldn't want it, but I'd get it. That answers your earlier question too.

Counter it or keep it moving, but don't pretend you have the upper hand over hypotheticals.

I said the vanity project was about them lining their pockets. They had to back out, and so there is nothing to prove. You can keep your fantasies if you think the most corrupt owners in footie coming together to form a new league would have been for a reason beyond themselves.

You think that vanity project wasn't about them lining their pockets?

Like the time they tried to screw over us and the league to line their own pockets, all the way back 2 months ago? Or the time they fucked everyone on furlough way back a year ago?

You're in luck then, because all our stars are now approaching the wrong age to bring in Coutinho money (excluding Trent who is untouchable), so we'll see how £30m competes against £200m transfer windows without that one-off boost that Barca gave us. I shouldn't have to say this, but I'm not expecting us to spend city money, either. It was Tom Werner who said we could compete for any player in the world, not me.

We'll see what happens next season. What we did over 2 years, no one has ever done over 3, and city as champions were nowhere near where they'd been either.

I sort of agree here. We did assemble a great group of players, and I never thought we'd win the league again in my lifetime, and that's also now my biggest fear - we're resting on our laurels. We've done the stupidly difficult bit, and this will all fall away over the next couple of years. Klopp said he's here til '24, so we should be maximising this run, because when he leaves we're back to fighting for top 4.

FSG are cruising but it's perfectly acceptable to think that doesn't have a negative affect on the team if that's what you think. I completely think they're holding us back, but I don't have 3billion to put my money where my mouth is.

I gave an opinion. On a forum of all places, and now you're mortally offended. OK dude. Nothing is wrong at all, and we'll cruise the league again next season.

If I wanted to do that, I'd do that, and you're definitely better than posting this kind of shit, at least I thought you were.

I didn't do that at all, but when Ronnie Moran used to tell players what they'd won was in the past, every pre-season, was he just dismissing them, too? I actually said nothing about our achievements, only what needed to happen moving forward. we can't keep running the same group of players into their 30's and expect things to just work themselves out.
