MrBlack Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 2 minutes ago, VillaParkAvenue said: Yeah that’s right. The quickest way to get recognized as part of the ”big” group isn’t to actually win trophies, but simply to outspend others. The one led to the other. You don't consistently win trophies without sustained spending. That isn't to say systained spending guarantees success though. But the only way they achieved it was by being able to spend more than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no catching these ****. We'd have to be consistently better than them for generations to even start to make a dent I'm baffled by their last two sponsors, TeamViewer, and now Snapdragon. Who's in the market for commercial remote desktop software and SOCs and isn't aware of the market leaders. How is advertising on football shirts worth $75m to Qualcom? I get it when it's consumer stuff, but I just can't understand the business case for this stuff just sold to businesses. In the past 5 seasons Man Utd have won two trophies and finished in the top 4 three times. It might be poor by there standards, but it eclipses anything we've done for the past 30 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 One year extension for Ten Hag. Hardly a great vote of confidence, didn't Unai sign a new deal to 2029 a few weeks back? Will get an extra 12 months of compensation when he's sacked in November. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spend 200m + every summer pretty much, we don't and have had to come from a long way back to even get back in top half. I'd take finishing 8th next season though to win the FA cup but their general standards over last 30 years are much different to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 You're not good enough. We know you're not good enough. We've made it clear to everyone the past few months you're not good enough, including yourself. Here's a new deal. ETH like every player agent going has played them like a fiddle the past month pressuring them to give him a new deal to show 'faith' This club does not have a **** clue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Must have changed their mind on Southgate. Shame, he would have done a job on them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted July 4 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4 (edited) Tories out, Ten Hag in. What a day. Southgate was only a pipedream, but there's always next year. Edited July 4 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 4 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4 A year extension doesn't really give much confidence does it. Indicates to me they still want to get rid. Hopefully they still want Southgate but don't want to wait until after the EUROs to prepare for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During that time we lost Yorke and Bosnich to them, they won the treble and they beat us in practically every game we played - I hated my time there as a Villa fan for those reasons. I hate that club and their whiny, entitled fans nearly as much as I hate Blose. Manure the one club I really want to fail and fall flat on its arse. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I can see them having a much better season next season. One thing about United post-Fergie is that they always bounce back after having a shit season. And with these new appointments off the pitch, they might just get their act together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they'll probably spend another £200m this summer like they usually do... but maybe on better players than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will spend 200m but will only get 40m of actual players as their recruitment is so bad. I won’t worry about United as long as Ten Haag is in charge. He’s clueless beyond belief, like a bald, Dutch Southgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
