Citeh been found guilty then?

Good lets see if they get the worst possiable punishment relegations,stripped of titles points deductions,and transfer ban.

25 Sep 2026 16:19:27
& sue them like Burnley sued Everton, if you go down the rabbit hole, probably would have a positive effect on our PSR/SCR etc with lost revenue etc 🤷🏼‍♂️

And maybe a trophy for when they beat us in the cup final.

26 Sep 2026 07:35:31
I wonder, after all this, & I'm not defending Citeh, doesn't it prove that the running costs threshold be higher? Sorry to be a nerd here but I'm self employed, other day I put diesel in my van & it's now £10 per l gallon but my wages haven't gone up. This window players were being bought for way over their market value, but the PSR/SCR cap stayed the same. Make it make sense 🤷🏼‍♂️

Trouble is the appeal process will now drag on. We will be lucky to get a decision in another 5 years.

Lots has been spoken about the upcoming international break, I have just read 8 of our players who played yesterday are off to join their national teams. So much for Emery getting three weeks to get the squad playing how he wants them to play.

Let's just hope they all come back injury free and raring to go. He will have a few to work with especially our three wingers.

21 Sep 2026 10:09:11
So are you saying we shoulda bought players that aren't good enough to play international football, but can learn a system? I'd think it'd be more about getting players fit enough, a few of our injured players back up to match fit, there'll be the odd behind closed doors 90 min matches 🤷🏼‍♂️

Losing internationals when your at our level is inevitable but it will give the fringe players a chance to shine, don't we have a friendly against a Spanish team coming up?

22 Sep 2026 22:20:01
I've been banging on about rotating the team, Lindelöf is gonna be playing 4 competitive games over the next few weeks, that says to me when we line up against Brentford our back 4 should be Mings, THB, Wan Bissaka & Rugeri, all of whom are not away, at BH, learning the Emery way. Kamara, Gomes & hopefully Goretzka central midfield sorted, & why not have Garnacho, Alysson & Madjo up top, if anything Brentford wouldn't be expecting that line up. But all our players on international duty could come back unscathed & we've got more options than I can ever remember us having 🤷🏼‍♂️

Wan bissaka is away and so is Ruggeri. That would be a terrible line up. Like Fish friday we'd get well and truly battered!

10 goals in our last 4 games is not too shabby for a team the was struggling to get a shot on target 3 weeks ago.

19 Sep 2026 22:19:53
Does anyone think we're short of a cb? Maybe get Sergio Ramos until end season on a free, plus he would bring that leadership qualities to the group who are really young think it makes sense.

23 Sep 2026 17:31:01
Despite all of my friends hating him I always liked Ramos, but I think he'd get sent off in a heartbeat if he played in the prem, he'd be too slow and wouldn't want to get beaten.

Isn't he like 40 now? And has he even played for anyone since the Mexican league 18 months ago? Last time i saw his name mentioned was part of a consortium looking at buying Seville, thought he might've retired!

I'd take him as a Coach, but not as a player i think even as an emergency back up he'd just be standing in the way of one of our youngsters progressing, but he could definitely teach them a fair bit as a coach (as long as it wasnt how to get sent off).

Some on here should watch McGinn's post match interview.
His comments about the 1st half were spot on.
And his comments about the end result were also spot on.

19 Sep 2026 19:37:59
You know with Ginny he's always honest, he's the ideal Captain and leader. He will go down in Villa history, as an utter legend UTV.

19 Sep 2026 20:55:39
100% Dave. I know he's our player but I honestly believe any true football fan with a decent set of morals could not help themselves but admire him, his career and just the type of person he is.

not enough players like him anymore. he could of gotten a move after a year or 2 in the premier league he has always been a top performer at this level.

19 Sep 2026 21:05:15
Dave, I watched the SJM interview, he is a great player, a brilliant ambassador and a genuinely honest guy. Not only did he get the first half analysis right,he also said in the interview,if the game had gone on ten minutes longer Spurs would have probably got a draw, bang on! Dave you are right he will definitely go down as one of our greats, the difference between him and all the other worthy greats,he is the complete all round super star.

Many of the other greats were great footballers and legends for their ability,SJM is just SJM, he is a great footballer and all round nice guy and we are so lucky to have supported Villa whilst he has been around during our struggles and highlights. He should be a player, coach and ambassador for the rest of his football career at Villa Park.

19 Sep 2026 22:34:16
Dave he's the best £2 and a half mill we've ever spent UTV.

19 Sep 2026 23:15:12
100% Scot, he is infectious and we need to keep him around the club, so many kids look up to him, my own included, he's always asking about ex players/ legends of different clubs when the camera picks them up and I have no doubt when he grows up and has his own kids he'll be telling them how much of a legend MaGinn was for Villa.

19 Sep 2026 18:00:02
Well game over now a much better display for UTV on to next game now take it 1 game at a time, gutted there's a stupid break for 3 weeks.
