@JoshNorris Think we fundamentally disagree. You believe this way of running the club is necessary and I think, not only that it's unnecessary to your recent or future success, but also dangerous to the long-term future of the club and inherently bad for the competitions you're competing in

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@JoshNorris It doesn't matter that they're literally breaking the rules of the competition they're trying to get into?

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@JoshNorris Because your point is nonsense

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@JoshNorris I genuinely don't understand your point now. Sunderland & Brighton both beat Chelsea & Spurs to a European place and neither will be fined.
I think a plan to just keep breaching scr until revenue catches up is ridiculous

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@JoshNorris Within the rules.
Rules specifically implemented to protect the teams competing in it and the sport itself.

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@JoshNorris Obviously not. A team's aim for a season isn't a limit.
Why would that quality gap grow necessarily?? Revenue ≠ Quality
What good is qualifying for Europe if you have to continuously break scr, resulting in increasing fines, to do so.?

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@JoshNorris Again... Not at the expense of the long term future of the club.
If you think the only possible way to push for CL football is to breach uefa scr & skirt the leagues financial rules through loopholes then no, that shouldn't be your club's aim

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@JoshNorris Did I say that?
The aim should always be to win but not at the expense of the long term future of the club.
If your owner is subsidising your expenditure and then he fucks off, it's the club and the fans that incur the consequences

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@JoshNorris I guess my main point is why does said team have to consistently compete for CL spots right away??
Why can't they gradually build up their team, fan base & infrastructure over the course of decades like every other team bar city & Chelsea did?

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@JoshNorris This doesn't make sense.
In 24/25 villa, Newcastle & forest all qualified for Europe while breaching scr.
By your logic if they didn't breach it then none of them would have been good enough to qualify through the league.
Next up would be Brighton who 100% comply with scr

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@JoshNorris Right, I forgot they sold their women's team to avoid breaching it.
You don't believe they could've done what they did without breaching uefa scr rules??

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@JoshNorris Why is it only measured over such a small time?? They just won their first trophy in 30years!
Do you believe it would've been impossible for Villa to do what they've done over the last 4 years while also complying with psr?

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@DudleytheFraud @sufferingspurs In what way are Villa being "penalised for success"??

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@DudleytheFraud @sufferingspurs 1. Why would Spurs have less to spend?? They won the Europa league and had champions league football last season.
2. I would argue Villa haven't "built" anything. They massively overspent on wages which were subsidised by their owners.

[Gary McAfee @GaryMcAfee]

@DudleytheFraud @sufferingspurs This is the main point I think. He specifically said Spurs built towards their financial position over the course of decades but people want that to change or for Villa to be on a level playing field after only 3 years
