Villa have spent a fortune and don't look any more likely to stay up than we do.

Quite simply, we cannot spend what we do not have.
The club (and it is just a company like any other) lost £35 million last year. That has to be recovered somehow.
-
We didn't improve on what we had in the summer.
Quite simple really. We are just not good enough to go on a decent run of results.
-
the only thing that was wrong was that Chambers was still on the pitch at 90 minutes. He committed two or three fouls that warranted a second yellow but the ref bottled them all.

3 hours ago, sgncfc said:Why would it be such a disaster for Villa? They would probably recoup what they spent (Mings, Grealish and McGinn alone would get them close to £100m) so they could easily afford to reinvest again.
You don't recoup money when you have to sell and players want to leave.

10 hours ago, Ian said:Big spending Villa, despite stuffing us sit only 1 point better off, albeit with a game in hand. I would certainly be sweating it if I was Dean Smith.
For Villa, relegation this season would be an apocalyptic disaster. There is a strong chance they might not survive if it happens again after they spent in excess of £100 million in the summer.

It's a good job the management and players don't have the same attitude as some on here otherwise we would not have bothered to turn up today and would have missed out on 3 points .
Excellent result and just what we needed .
-
No one gets relegated at the start of November. A win would be a huge confidence booster and three points but losing will not see our season over.

Reading through the accounts last night, they don't make good reading. There is no doubt that a club like City cannot do things any other way than Webber's model.
My guess is that the first Championship club to go bust and not return is not very far away. Look at Bolton.

In one year. Now you know why we don't have bags of cash to spend.

Classic commentary yesterday on the radio 'Jesus is just about to come on,' if was 3-1 to Norwich at this point. The other commentator then piped in with 'I think he's going to need his dad's help for this one!' 🤣🤣

When Tettey came in last season was when the results started to improve.
We do need a player with that skill set to sit in front of the central defenders.
Leitner and Trybull don't fit that bill, IMHO.
-
10 for every player. They were all exceptional.
-
Play off final v Middlesboro is up there, simply because of the way we dominated the game.
As as a standard Premier League game tho, this is right up there. Our win was no lucky fluke. We deserved it.
Edit- just seen the Carrow Road bit. Probably celebrating a bit too much.
-
So Godfrey will be worth £100 million this time next year then.
-
They can have his left boot for that. the old one he used last season.
-
Are supporters really that bothered by who made the kit? Surely it what it looks like that is important. I like the fact ours are different to anyone else.
No doubt most of them are made in the same place regardless of manufacturer.
-
Can anyone show me where an ex player has had great success as a a manager at the same club?
He struggled at Derby, IMHO. They had arguably the best squad in the league, certainly one of the highest spenders and Derby got nowhere near automatic promotion.
Another gone by the end of the season.
-
I don't either come close to us in style of play and ability TBH.
-
Undoubted talent but looks a long way from the finished article.
Both him and Mount seem to make some very poor decisions at times.

The current team would have been proud of that goal. Great passing and movement.

The Sunday Sun, that well known font of all knowledge.

Park in Brum City centre and catch a train to the ground.

Yes but once you commit to a new players contract its not just for one year is it? Its three years or more.
