Indeed. Neville was one of the few (only) pundits that predicted Villa would finish fourth at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has us finishing 6th (which was still higher than most... possibly including myself, I'll have to check the predictions thread!). Troy Townsend definitely predicted us to come 4th - he'll be so smug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in their best interests not to tarnish it with talk of cheating. They want you to believe it's the best league in the world. They are quite happy to stick their head in the sand until they have to talk about it (punishment being handed out). Exactly and very well put. They'll report on it if ever the verdict is reached, but then hope it goes away without damaging their product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Martin Samuel of The Times has penned an article about us, titled “why don’t the premier league want Aston Villa to thrive in europe”….well worth a read, https://www.thetimes.co.uk/sport/football/article/why-doesnt-the-premier-league-want-aston-villa-to-thrive-in-europe-vtrwmdx7x or https://archive.ph/m398v#selection-2685.0-2691.467 Quote With the possible exception of the summer of 2021, when Manchester City paid £100million for Jack Grealish, it is hard to imagine that Aston Villa have ever been so flush. The bounty of a fourth-placed finish in the Premier League worth £52.9 million. The prospect of a minimum ten-game Champions League campaign, estimated to bring in £50 million, plus bonuses. Villa have been champions of Europe yet have never been as financially robust. So, naturally, they celebrated in the manner of all modern Premier League clubs. They went scouting in the bargain basement and discussed which players they could sell to avoid being docked points.... ...At the very point when Villa are in a position to flourish they are made to behave without ambition or imagination. And if, as a result, they fall short in the Champions League — as they did in the Conference League this season, and that is nowhere near as competitive — then this potentially has an impact on England’s coefficient ranking, and the additional place, and slowly the influence and appeal of the Premier League depreciates. Meanwhile, we wonder why, after they have made every last penny generated or spent vital to existence, Tottenham and Newcastle are boarding planes to play a lucrative friendly game in Australia when their players should be resting — particularly those due to be involved with England at the European Championship finals. No doubt if Villa did it too there would be indignation. Yet condemned to live like paupers despite holding a winning lottery ticket, what choice is there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted Friday at 14:25 VT Supporter Share Posted Friday at 14:25 The idiots up in Leeds are at it again... "Leeds United or Southampton will fill the last remaining place in next season’s Premier League – and a prediction has already been made as to how the final table will look." https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/next-seasons-final-predicted-premier-league-table-with-leeds-united-or-southampton-added-leicester-city-and-ipswich-town-expectations-4640930?page=1 honestly not sure where to even begin on this one, so much nonsense in one article.
