[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

Pride of the Midlands is unofficial Fan site, that is expanding to twitter, we share stories, news all things AVFC! #avfc #POTMs @astonvilla

[M̷a̷r̷k̷ @__Mark03__]

Why are fans from Arsenal, Spurs, Man Utd and Liverpool such big headed disrespectful morons?

The day clubs like Villa, Brighton, Everton, Newcastle, Forest, Brentford and Leeds get a realistic chance to break this media loving big 6 up can't come quick enough.

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

@avfc_stef @Wrighti1 Don’t joke. Cause knowing our luck, it’ll happen

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

Morning, it’s Friday
Villa wise. Louie Barry has gone. Although was a big contract. Money saved there: Onana is injured and out for a long time.
Other news, Arsenal are really trying unsettle and tap players up. Newcastle are hav a bad summer
Anyway, how’s everyone doing??

[BookofAEGIS @BookofAEGIS]

Okay, since the usual melts on the Villa (#avfc) timeline are having a meltdown since Nassef Sawiris stepped down as a director, Let me explain what's happened:

This is standard corporate housecleaning. Nassef Sawiris has changed his tax status in the UK, he's now a Non-Dom and he's been restructuring his global offices for his business interests to UAE & Italy as a result the last 18months.

As for Nassef Sawiris stepping down as a director, it makes no difference at all for the day to day stuff from an operating standpoint.

All this does is that it simply signals he's changing the corporate setup that surrounds Aston Villa. He'll still be the club Chairman and will still be pulling the strings, its not a dilution of shares at all and doesn't stop him from injecting equity pro-rata.

You're welcome.

Yes I know it’s only 45 mins. Yes I know you shouldn’t judge players on World Cup games
But I’m starting to see why Emery is so keen on Felix. Not best player on the pitch, but working hard. And got some quality. Emery could made him into some player if we ever did sign him

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

@Villa_Verse That and Arsenal fans saying they are buying our players for peanuts

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

Personally don’t care bout spurs. If they think they are a bigger side, then fair play. Doesn’t matter. As for the rules, we get it. Yes you done well and repping the rewards. However if the rules were fair…., they’d soon be complaining. Like every other sky 6 side

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

@JUSTIN_AVFC_ I’ve ignored it all. People trying force a rival
Personality don’t give a monkeys if they think they are bigger. And all this rules etc
Got more important things to worry about

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

As it’s down to the last 16

Who’s going win the World Cup??

And who has been your surprise package??

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

Morning, it’s Friday
World Cup is starting to shape up nicely. Still very open and anyone could win it. As for Villa, Arsenal want Konsa and rogers. Tielemans is ice cool. And spurs really are breaking there wage structure and transfer policy
Anyway, how’s everyone else doing??

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

On england, the one player who was in form, scoring and creating space. Watkins. And yet he’s hardly featured
Don’t get it

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

Summed up perfectly here

[Stef @avfc_stef]

I’ll try to be as plain and simple as possible, Dom.

The rules represent the lowering of a portcullis with 6 clubs already inside the castle.

6 clubs that built revenue streams in a time of little to no restrictions, in varying ways. Some through success, some through their location, some through having ambitious, wealthy owners that front loaded their way to being healthy, sustainable businesses (an acceptable and common practice in all business but football apparently). Most are a mix of the above.

The rest are now left to climb the walls of the castle to gain entry, rather than walk through the doorway the original six entered through.

As a result, those 6 can sit pretty inside the castle and pick off whoever they like from those attempting to scale the wall… kicking them further down while building the walls higher with the scraps they take from them. Not through any current sporting merit… just because they passed through the entry before the portcullis was slammed shut.

The rules are, therefore, unfit for purpose for a competitive sport and need to be reimagined.

I understand the fear is that another City or Chelsea happens - but you can’t cut the rope to 86 clubs in order to protect 6.

Now, for clarity - I’m not accusing Spurs of doing anything underhand to get to their current position - but surely you must see how unfairly the system is rigged against everyone that’s now trying to achieve something?

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

@avfc_stef Wouldn’t bother. They are all complaining cause we aren’t letting a player go cheap that we want keep. But also happy that the rules stop us properly competing. They just don’t get it

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

And Arsenal fans moan when we say rogers won’t be going for anywhere under £100m..

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨💣 BREAKING: Tottenham agree club record deal for Mateus Fernandes, HERE WE GO!

Agreement in place at £85m fixed fee as West Ham accept the price they’ve always asked, 100% guaranteed — as @David_Ornstein reports.

Man United will now focus on different targets in midfield.

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

@SoonbeXmas Is he the one that said the owners don’t matter or make up the price??

[Dave Holmes @DaveHo1mes]

I fully understand Villa valuing one of their best players at that price, they don’t want to sell Rogers.

I don’t know why that’s an alien concept to some people but if anyone is stupid enough to pay £130m then he’ll leave and they’ll reinvest it, but clubs like Villa and Forest don’t exist to feed the super league six, if you want our best players then pay up, otherwise shut up and develop your own players for once…

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

@DaveHo1mes @WhatTheForkAVFC

[UpTheVillaLad @UpTheVillaLad]

🚨 BREAKING (via @TransferSector & @Matt_Law_DT / The Telegraph): Aston Villa have valued Morgan Rogers at a British record £130m.

For weeks Arsenal fans were convinced he was joining for £80m. Villa fans knew better.

If Arsenal won���t pay the price, he’ll either go elsewhere or keep shining at Villa Park.
Bottle jobs with no European pedigree anyway 😂

Proper club. Proper valuation. 💜🩵

#AVFC #AFC #UTV #TransferNews

[U.T.V. @AVFCPride]

But but but we keep being told that 80m is acceptable… And Arsenal fans know more than we do bout our own club, players and football in general

[Matt Law @Matt_Law_DT]

Aston Villa value Arsenal and Chelsea target Morgan Rogers at £130million. The club do not want to sell him #avfc #afc #cfc

Brilliant
Although some people will still moan…

[The Holte Hub @HolteHub]

BREAKING:

More to follow when absolutely nothing happens.
