useless Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Nothing ever seems to come of these kind of complaints. Leeds also officially complained about Wolves in the championship, Wycombe when they were relegated complained about Derby, and Middlesbrough also have a complaint against Derby dating back to the season when we were promoted, there are probably others as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Maybe the Derby ones did have an effect, albeit too late for those teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted May 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2022 I say give Burnley and Leeds an easier time on FFP in return for this disadvantage - I'm sure Burnley really wanted to spend a ton load of money didn't they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yep as stated in the Villa FFP thread, Everton took the piss with there 'covid losses'. Defo Everton gonna pay somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is their punishment? When you start punishing those clubs then come for the smaller guys Partly sour grapes, but Everton declared losses due to Covid of £170m over the last two seasons which brings them "in line" with FFP and avoids punishment. For comparison purposes, we declared about £50m. It seems a bit fishy, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s win/win either way. Oh, absolutely. Leeds would be funnier, ‘cause media darlings and loads of Leeds fans around, especially in Norway, but Burnley are f***ing thugs and won’t be missed if they go down. It’s the very definition of a win/win for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Agreed no way do Burnley survive next year if they do this year. The little money that they had has gone, their squad is getting older and smaller I don't see how they can progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were profitable until the new owners came in and they've been operating with increased debt (pre-Covid). I just can't see how they invest to stay in the league with that squad either. Would take Cornet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 To be fair, I'd rather Leeds stayed up. I still remember growing up in the 90s when teams like Burnley were in Division 3 and even if Villa weren't playing, there was always a 'big' game to watch. Fair play to these smaller sides for getting up to the Prem, but they don't add anything to it, especially a bunch of thugs like Burnley. I'm hoping Forest come up as I'd rather spend a Sunday afternoon watching Leeds v Forest than I would Burnley v Bournemouth. I can see them both winning tomorrow though and see Leeds as the team with it all to do tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 Watching the Brentford v Leeds match and if Burnley want to stay up then I think they're going to have to do it themselves as Brentford really aren't playing very well at all, can hardly keep the ball and when they get in promising positions keep choosing the wrong option.

VillaChris Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Burnley been terrible. Proper heads gone from Collins on the corner and them just lumping up long balls to their midget strikers v Lascelles and Burn isn't going to work. Need to take one of the CBs off and put Weghorst on unless they're just relying on Brentford to win now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
