"Aston Villa will not allow anyone to stop our ascension in English and European football"
I think what people are missing here, is the level of ambition of Aston Villa under this ownership.
Imagine being the owner listening all week to this nonsense about his club.

🙄Some humility wouldn’t go amiss given none of these wins will count by the end of this season.

🚨 Piers Morgan has launched a FURIOUS attack on Manchester City, accusing the club of damaging the integrity of the Premier League and demanding immediate action over their financial breaches. 😳
🗣️ Morgan: “Sorry, but the Premier League is a TOTAL FARCE. Manchester City players and fans celebrating like nothing has happened, despite being exposed as the worst cheats in football history.
If they win the title again, it could ruin the Premier League. The league must act ASAP. This cannot go on.”
Do you agree with him? 👀

There has to be a strong case now for Sky and other channels ceasing to broadcast Manchester City games live until their punishment has been decided. Their games are ghost games.

What's the point of watching this season's Premier League?
City win it and it'll be rescinded.
Anyone else wins it and positional places will be affected by City, and £££ per position.
An absolute fucking mess that of we're being honest is probably the entrance to a rabbit hole that nobody really wants to go down because it may affect 2 decades rather than the best part of one.
Football is in crisis here. Genuinely think people will fuck it off if City aren’t punished accordingly, and soon. The limbo only makes it worse.
I’ve always resisted conspiracy theories about officials, mainly because if that’s what’s going on, what are we all doing here?
But why make appointments that feed the conspiracy? Chris Kavanagh, from Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, for this game?
When trust is already on the floor, when people are already questioning the integrity of the competition, surely you look at that appointment and think: why invite it?

Manchester United lost out on three Premier League titles to this disgrace. So did Liverpool. Arsenal missed out on two. Tottenham missed Champions League qualification five times. Arsenal three times. Leicester twice. Manchester United & Liverpool once.
Inter, Tottenham, Villa, Sunderland, Watford, Stoke, all denied a fairytale chance at European or domestic glory. How many clubs trajectories were changed irrevocably because of City's arrogance to cheat so brazenly no matter the collateral damage?
There has been 35 seasons of the Premier League, City's cheating leaves a mark on 18 of them. More than half the history stained with their disgrace. How can they even be allowed to continue playing the rest of the season amidst all of this?
Strip every title & every trophy. Expel City from the Premier League & EFL, exile them to non-league.
Every single penny must be claimed back. The billions in prize money that they stole from other clubs.
The fine must be paid from the club, not owners. £830.7m in fake sponsorship is the starting point.
Which means every star they signed, everyone has to go. Rip them down to the studs & they start again.
Any person involved should be banned from football permanently. Ownership must be forced to sell.
It is the biggest scandal in sporting history. A disgrace on the sport & must be treated accordingly.
They deserve everything that is coming to them. It is beyond words how despicable this all is.

Thank goodness we're reaching the end of the transfer window.
Personally I'm excited for the season ahead despite all of the changes, but I certainly won't miss the nonsense on here about food chains, how much others spend, made up rivalries etc.
Time for proper football. #avfc

North stand’s a building site tomorrow and Konsa’s walking out in an Arsenal shirt.
First home game of the season and half the Europa winners are gone. Emi announced this morning, Watkins official now as well, Rogers already at Chelsea.
Still Villa Park though. Still Monday night. Still us.
Come on.

And now Ollie Watkins is officially gone, I genuinely don’t wish for another window like this again, no club should have the heart ripped out of it in one window.
It needed to happen, an ageing squad and a big wage bill, but we didn’t deserve all of that in one window, especially after finishing 4th and winning a European Trophy.
It’s been an absolute rollercoaster.
3 days away and we can officially say Aston Villa’s rebuild is officially complete.
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa 2.0 is upon us.

10 years ago, we managed three wins in an entire season before dropping to play the likes of Rotherham in the Championship. Today we signed Leon Goretzka, Nico Jackson and found out we're going to play Barcelona in the Champions League. Perspective. #avfc

Sold Rogers for £117m.
Konsa gone. Tielemans gone. Digne gone.
Selling Watkins after he refused to train and play - around £50m to Saudi.
Jackson in for £47.5m up front, £17.5m in add-ons.
Goretzka on a free.
Leao still floating.
Todibo or Harwood-Bellis to replace Konsa.
Palace taking Ordonez.
Half of Twitter's lost their heads over this window.
It's a rebuild with five days left and Unai still pulling the strings.
Jackson's 25. Younger, faster, more powerful. Runs in behind all day, holds the line, works. Finishing was never Watkins' big strength anyway - movement and graft were. When that dropped and he tried to walk, the rest went with it.
Nobody's even published what those add-ons are. If they trigger, he's starting, scoring and we're still in Europe. You want that.
Emery already knows how to use him. Different player. Different situation. Not a like-for-like. A reset.
That's what I call business.
Same people calling this a circus were calling Rogers a waste of £8m two years ago.
The club is bigger than all of them.
Sit down. Window's not done.
UP THE VILLA 💜🩵

Watkins sympathisers and those who don't feel #AVFC have suffered at the hands of SCR need to look at Donyell Malen.
Villa had to sell Malen because we couldn't afford the luxury of two standout strikers and Ollie was prioritised - as always.
Malen is scoring goals for fun in Serie A and bagged a hat-trick last night...
