"Get lost! How dare you ruin what's part of our country, our DNA in this country."

Ian Holloway had some very strong words when asked about the Man City charges.

[LB✌🏽 @Londonblue_2]

Either someone has had a word with Simon or hes had an epiphany, because this is nail on the head stuff. And tbh its what lots of us have been saying for years now.

Etihad threatening to sue. UAE reportedly intimating that UK investment could be pulled. A Prime Minister couching any criticisism. If this sorry saga doesn't convince you that state ownership of football clubs should never be allowed, nothing ever will.

@elitekafir If I believed in a God that forced me to defend THIS. I'm sorry I'm out, nope, no way. It's demonic

We have raised the crosses!

The Disciples flew the Jerusalem Cross in Cosham, Portsmouth.

No more talk. Now is the time for action.

Join us and pick up your cross. ✝️

Can't believe the meltdown with some of our fickle fans. Get a grip FFS.
I've come away from a defeat today not in the least worried or bothered, I can see the bigger picture. It's a work in progress. Keep the faith.

Nobody at Villa Park will pretend this rebuild was the plan back in May. But in football you cannot always decide what happens and a rebuild, at a pace that was not expected, eventually became the plan.

Everyone knows of the financial pressure, with UEFA’s oversight hanging over every decision the club made this summer. Morgan Rogers’ departure helped balance the books and freed room to address squad needs.

Then two release clauses landed that nobody had budgeted for, Digne and Tielemans’, forcing the plan to change again. Onana got injured long term, so he would miss most of the season where, by all accounts, he was going to fly and govern the midfield.

Then Emi Martinez wanted out, like in previous summers, and tried it every way he could. Add a squad whose average age was pushing 29, and the club faced a choice: patch the cracks or start a real generational turnover.

Imagine the long meetings, the long discussions, all the possibilities on the table. But clearly a new path had to be taken, one that accelerated out of anyone’s control. It happens.

Almost a dozen new faces later, and let’s see what happens today, this is a different Villa. Younger, leaner on the balance sheet, built in a shape and with names and positions chosen with Emery’s blessing, now everyone is determined to start a new cycle rather than defend the old one.

The financial side of this rebuild has gone about as well as it could, with sales of players in their thirties fetching prices well above expectation.

The football side has to be more honest: losing that experience for extraordinary fees is good business, but it leaves gaps a young squad can’t fill by talent alone.

Players are not yet a team, and there’s an acknowledgment inside the club that another experienced body or two would have helped soften the transition. But once a player has decided he’s done what he came to do, there’s little a club can do beyond protecting the valuation.

That’s the job now, and it will take patience, both from the coaching staff working with young talent and from the club itself. From the fans. That is what it is being asked of you.

Do you want new memories, a new trip around the demands of the Premier League while players develop their football and personalties?

Emery has rebuilt cycles before, at Valencia, at Sevilla. He knows what this looks like in year one. The timing is brutal, a new-look squad thrown straight into the Premier League with barely a pre-season together, but the people building this are the same people who got Villa to a Europa League final.

Who knows what will happen. But don’t you want to be part of what happens next? Then, I would say, help this team reach the best they can give.

[Villa Views @VillaViews_]

One of the strangest sections of the Villa fans online are those that know Emery improves players through training, tactics and structure - yet throw their toys out of the pram if a player being signed isn't the complete package yet. Really odd. #avfc
