We won't even get the fun stage when they buy a £70m Robinho type figure. They'll bring about the superleague when they shut Utd out of the champions league. Maybe they can collate the stats on how many bombs have landed in Yemen over the last few years? Expected death vs actual deaths, paralysations per air strike, heat maps for buildings flattened, buildings left to attack and so on. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take billions to get to that level. If they ever make it, that is. Same is true of us. I don't know why people are worried about Newcastle - they can't sign everyone! We're owned by a couple of billionaires yet people seem to be jealous of the Toon because they are richer.

(not aimed at you @Demitri_C, just a general point) The thing is they can literally cherry pick who they want if they want to pay them stupid money. Even city wont be able to compete with them. It does concern me because we have invested vast somes of money and we are not much bettee off than them this year. So what will it be like when they spend massive amounts in the summer?

They can't just spunk £1bn on players. The system is rigged now so it's nearly impossible for any new teams to get into the elite. The drawbridge was pulled up years ago. As for us? Let's be frank, we are never going to get Champions League. Thats not a criticism of the owners, its just too difficult now. We have spent a lot but we were a lot further behind where Newcastle are now. I'll just be happy with good exciting football and a cup! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what will it be like when they spend massive amounts in the summer? But they can... Newcastle can't sign Harry Kane for example, it won't happen, City are in the luxurious position where they can sign 1 x £100m+ player every season, Newcastle aren't there, they're nowhere near Don't get me wrong them staying up will increase their buying power and be more attractive but they're not fishing in the same pond as city and won't be for a number of years if ever City, Chelsea, Liverpool even utd despite their best efforts to **** it up are a million miles away from everyone else, sky et al will tell you otherwise cos they have a product to sell if guimares is a huge success at Newcastle do you think they have the power to stop city buying him? Not the money, the power? If city want newcastles best player then he will want to leave even if they don't want to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) The scary thing for me is despite all the investment we are only six points ahead of them... There are already ten teams ahead of us, arguably eleven, they will possibly make it twelve if we don't improve. I often think it's futile this football supporting malarkey.

I'm hoping that their football strategy is as equally pathetic as their military might as despite all the US 'advice' and high tech equipment and money in the world they are still pretty much at a stalemate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could do a deal with Rola to be their soft drink supplier and it would be lauded as a brilliant bit of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted February 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) I think the fact of whether or not they can challenge for the title is moot, all I care about is them challenging for where we are aiming for; Europe for starters, then hopefully that last champions league spot. That is well within their grasp in the not too distant future, then it is gone for good. Edited February 17, 2022 by Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get their act together then no-one is breaking into the Champions League places. That refers to Arsenal and Spuds as well. With so much money in the Premier League and teams like Newcastle and us trying to crack it, I think eventually they'll expand the Champions League and Europa League places.

tomav84 Posted February 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2022 if i was city i wouldn't be too concerned but as an AVFC fan i am concerned. newcastle wont compete with city for harry kane for example. they'll compete with us for bissouma etc, and they'll get him by paying a bigger transfer fee and bigger wages. "whatever villa offer, we'll beat" they will tell brighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep same as football ever was we just have to scout better and then coach better The worry that we will scout better or raise a youngster better and Newcastle can stroll in and take him off us leaving us powerless ala man City or man utd is way off in the future, they're nowhere near that yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course but some members of our fan base dont have the patience to develop a player or have one player ik mind and thats it. To some Villa fans an average Brighton centre midfielder is the only defensive midfielder in the world and he isnt even a defensive midfielder. Same way Philip Billing would guarantee our safety in summer 2020 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
