It worries me how often clubs, quite often lower league ones in England, make a big fuss about a 15 year old being on their bench or making a cup sub appearance. It’s just plain wrong. Even Arsenal did it last season with Nwaneri, just so he would sign his contract. It worries me to be honest.

I think that's when having a good agent rather than having family members do it comes into it's own

That's how shit starts going sideways very quickly. From the outside it looks like villa are being well run but start to lose that experience within the club and it starts to fall apart.

Probably secures their future, unless they get lucky in the play offs this season they’re just another championship club trying to bridge the financial gap of teams relegated from the PL.

State of it, they haven't finished lower than 10th in the Champ since 2000. "Pain"

not sure how the wealth of their owners compares to the rest in the championship? But doubt they’ll be able to spend that much compared to the rest of the league.

Doesn't count for much. Fosun/Guo at one point were the 3rd richest in the PL, presumably they've not slipped that far since. The link has Lai as 6th...

Yeah it doesn't mean much if the owners aren't spending it.

But Albion's new owner is "only" worth £300mill, that's buttons.
