If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.
Did Villa get a sugar daddy owner too or is this all still from the Grealish money?

According to wikipedia, their owner is the richest arab and second richest arfrican man in the world. Think they blew all their Grealish money instantly in the last window?

Our owners are like the fourth richest in the league behind Chelsea, city and Newcastle.

New owners bought in when they were about to go bankrupt in the Championship, and they haven't stopped spending since.

gently caress knows where he'll end up coaching, he was getting his badges and doing some of the behind the scenes stuff here so maybe he'll go down to Villa - but if he wants playing time I can't see it being in the Prem for anyone.

I could see him getting a six month deal at one of the relegation candidates. What's the downside?

Think I remember an interview he gave when he was at Bournemouth the second time where he said Eddie Howe got him onto going full vegan. Must have worked to get another 5 or 6 years out of him.

Will be interesting to see if he carries on in the championship or something because afaik performances still haven't dropped off that much (?) and even at 39 he still knows where the goal is and is a good influence on the younger lads. Bielsa sign him up

Nah he definitely still has it;

Given he's been doing some of the commentary/punditry stuff it might be he wants to stay closer to London. Get him back to West Ham.

Not sure about the 'holding up a shirt while also wearing a shirt' move. What is he wearing someone else's shirt. Would prefer him to be pointing at or firmly grasping the badge, maybe pumping his fist at the thought of playing for Villa

Everton hosed up by hiring Benitez without having a fully built squad for him to takeover since he is and has always been poo poo at building teams.

He's too good for u23 football, so hope he does well at Boro. Have high hopes.

It's a massive jump though, and U23 prospects are victim to mega hype due to the internet. I live a stones throw from the Lancashire FA so get to see a lot of U23 games, I remember a few seasons back Balogun scored a hat trick and the internet fanboys were wanking themselves dry. It was a hat trick of penalties, none of which would have been given at any standard above U23. I hope he comes good but he needs to toughen up rapidly, against Brentford it really was a Kevin and Perry case of 'bigger boys came mum'.

He’s the only guy willing to put up with that poo poo and he seems emotionally cold enough not to care about fans hating him, so I think it was actually a smart choice on Moshiri’s part.

It wasn’t smart on Benitez’s part to take the job, though.
