So with the news about Birminghams new stadium plans and ideas, it would seem that those involved in the ‘development’ of VP are morons. And I’m disappointed in the owners for not recognising what the potential was and going through with it. Completely missed out. Only themselves to blame. Proper small time mentality. 

You sound rattled. If you look at the numbers Wagner is talking of spending £2 - £3 billion without sharing any real business plan as to how it will all work. If people want villa to do that who do they expect to pay for it and/or how will it be funded? Our owners aren't Abramovic or an Oil state, they won't be throwing money around and not expecting it back.

Southgate will be pissed. 

100%, I still think Southgate won't bring him to the euros and if he does Jack will be a bit part player at best. 

Just checked their fixture list.... it's pretty favourable to say the least. C'Mon you bluebirds.

That’s ridiculous - do the league want this in the courts potentially?

I don't think it will end up the courts because all the clubs have signed up for the current process when FFP was introduced in the first place. I also assume any new member of the PL has agreed to these rules when they were promoted. 

Quote

If it does end up in court I think Everton would win as in my eyes it's black and white with regards to deductions as in where in the rules other than admin is it written you get a points deduction.

That's the issue for me as yes they admitted to wrong doing but there is nothing set in stone to say what happens when you break the rules.  Not even seen any guidelines it's just some panel making it up as they go.

Dodgy ground for a legal defence for The Premier League.

The clubs have signed up to let an independent panel decide the punishment. A completely different independent panel judge the appeal. Again they can't really go to court over a system they designed & voted on themselves.

They are all moaning - its a scouse thing to play the victim i think 

Definitely, all that Scouse not English nonsense....

Appeal result will be released one week after the season ends. What a shambles.

they've used financial doping to derail other teams.

Grealish: our best player, captain, everything to sit on their bench.

Phillips: Leeds best midfielder,  should have stayed up with him.

Ake: Bournemouths best defender to sit on the bench.

Nunes:  Wolves best remaining midfielder to sit on the bench.

Kovacic: Chelseas best midfielder to sit on the bench.

Now Paqueta: West Hams best player, who will ultimately be a squad player.

Man Utd. did that for years, same for Bayern. It's standard practice for any team at the top, weaken the opposition.

Supposedly agreed terms with Paqueta, isn't he under investigation for betting offences still.

I thought his case was resolved? He'll be an excellent player for them, he's just what they need in midfield.

Hopefully we’ll have someone in office who can put the people in charge of this slaughter on trial. 

Do you really expect any Israeli government to do that? 

9/1 to beat them....a draw would be excellent.

All clubs should just boycott playing Man City until their punishment is decided upon. Maybe then they’ll pull their finger out. Strength in numbers

It's the clubs themselves that will vote for fines instead of points deductions. Like it or not Man City are good for the league, they bring in big names like Pep and Haaland and generate a lot TV money and interest. Of course fans don't see it that way but PL executives only care about money. If they can get money out of Man City, Newcastle in fines that's all that matters. The PL isn't about what's fair and right and sporting integrity, it's just about money.

10>6>4>2 

Guess the next club to fall foul will get 0 right?!

Plucking numbers out of the air springs to mind

I assume this deduction will be reduced to one point on appeal. It's a farce. 

At what age should you start getting the PSA test? 50?

Probably 75% likely we finish fifth and probably 75% likely fifth place will be a CL place. Getting CL is all that matters, out final position of fourth or fifth isn't really important.

Calling out his team mates in that interview.

If you read what he said he specifically states he is not calling out his teammates and he is included in what he said. 

Looks very good but needs to improve his fitness. Faded before he was taken off. A young lad like that should be able for 90 mins.

How can this guy be your first sub. 

I would have brought on Diaby instead of him to be honest and gone 4-3-3. 

Nobody in here clamouring to sign him now....

I’m gutted that we threw the City now. Playing a second string against city required nothing less than a win a Brentford. 

If we played our first team we still would have lost. Phil Foden was enough to beat whatever team we put out.

We won’t miss him at arsenal. Slate me all you like he’s been a shadow of his seasonal first half performances. 

We won't miss him because they will beat us with or without him.

See I don't get this after the two weeks they've had off. 

Two weeks isn't enough to recover. It's been a long season and most of today's team played against city midweek.
