Nah that would be ridiculous. They get it for 5th place.

Well done Villa, I wanted to see you get hosed by FFP but then by all accounts you were very pleasant to Norwich when we won the league at Villa Park so now I don't know what to think.

Our owners are rich as gently caress, but it's a matter of FFP. I don't know how that changes now we're back in the Premier League

I like Grealish and how he annoys so many people. Heaven forbid there's an English(?) midfielder with a little flair and creativity instead of being a dull plodder.

Clubs are allowed to lose a lot more in PL years than they are in FL ones. Promotion is effectively "worth" not just the publicised £170m but also another ~£15/25m a year in what your sugar daddy is allowed to waste on you before sanctions.

No doubt, I get why villa fans worship him and as you say, I'd kill for someone like him at the Hawthorns. I think he will do well in the prem too as much as I'd love to see him exposed as a fraud

The better team won, kinda glad Villa made it in the end as they absolutely humiliated us twice this season and i'd rather not a repeat of that. Also, lol Derby, let's see how you do without all those loan players :)

It's more that he's a Villa fan and has been at the club since he was 6, but yeah the fact that he's also a very good footballer certainly helps too.

At least you made the playoffs, we just bottled it big time. Now we're going to sue you and I don't know what the gently caress Steve Gibson thinks he's going to gain by doing that, we're going to be hated by every other Championship club next season, we should have just painted a massive target on our backs.

It's a psyche out tactic, I'd be surprised if it went through even if candy crush man did some funny things with money. It's gonna be the least of our worries next season.

I don't know where else to post about this (lol nowhere) but I watched that first season of Sunderland Til I Die show on Netflix right as Sunderland failed to win the playoff for advancement out of League 1 (lol) and man did it make me mad the way they talked about Jack Rodwell. Sunderland: "he should have abandoned his expensive contract so we didn't have to pay him." Also Sunderland: "owned by a literal billionaire who refuses to invest a single loving cent into the transfer market as the team drops two consecutive divisions." gently caress Sunderland, I hope they stay down forever.

Just absolutely boneheaded. "We really wish he'd stop cashing our paychecks" isn't how sports contracts work, and while it might have ended up an albatross around the team's neck, the die was cast when you wrote it.

Yeah but he was a premier League player and now he's playing for Blackburn in the championship after sitting around for 2 years and his new fans hate him, maybe he's just a oval office.
