Is this what we're aspiring to get promoted to? my thoughts exactly said it to a few non villa supporting mates and of course its only because we're shit and in the championship but i dont see how fans other clubs can enjoy seeing their teams spend £100-200m in an attempt to finish 9th and think that its enjoyable 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I genuinely couldn't give a toss if we get promoted or not. I know that must look like it's easy to say but not really true, but it is. In fact, if anything, I enjoyed last season more than I had in years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I'd still much rather be in the PL paying £20m for crap players than being in the Championship paying £12m for crap players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure I don't give a toss........but last season was enjoyable yes. I guess it depends on how you see things but there are a lot of distinguished football clubs in the Championship and to be honest I don't look at Bournemouth or Watford in the same way that I look at Say Leeds or Sheffield Wednesday!

Those were the days Hardcore and skate punk at it's best, death metal still going strong. Sweden winning the Bronze at the 94 World Cup in the US of A, IFK Gothenburg beating Man U, Barcelona, PSG, Bayern... in the Champions League. Villas last title and the teams I played for won the league 2 years straight. Good times And a mediocre Chelsea reserve didn't cost as much as a small countries annual health care budget. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted June 30, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2017 Borini to AC Milan for 5.3m Deulofeu back to Barca... they'll probably sell him in again for a profit after what is probably a buy back clause. Funny they never came back for Adama! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from their first XI, they have almost nothing. They're going to have a huge rebuild job on their hands in a couple of years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams can still finish top half without spending stupid amounts, see Southampton and West Brom. Our history comes from constant top flight football so we need to get back there quickly even if you dislike how the premier league goes about things.

How many games did you see live Hanoi last year? We hardly won away and most of our home games were as dull as dishwater which is embarrassing at this level considering our financial strength. I genuinely can't remember a memorable home game from last whereas even in our car crash prem seasons we had enjoyable wins over Man. City,Arsenal, Chelsea,Liverpool etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I saw every home game bar about five or six. I enjoyed them. I only saw us lose once. I consider that good value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing a FM save with them now, doesn't help that the front 3 take home £1.5m a week in wages and about £500k a week in bonuses in the next 5 years messi, Suarez, mascherano, busquets, iniesta and pique could all retire, as well as Matthieu and Turan who shouldn't be there anyway samper, deulofeu and munir done nothing to show they'll be decent players there next year, there's next to nothing in the B team (they have at least been promoted) Denis Suarez is the only player in the U21s they only have 1 player in the U19s too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
