Just back from Istanbul. Covered many, many European finals but that was up there in terms of how much it meant and how their fans behave. They were brilliant. Fantastic evening.

Everton overspent by £19.5m on a stadium and were docked 10 points.

Chelsea made illegal payments to help sign players and got a fine.

The Premier League is the most corrupt organisation you will ever come across.

Total disgrace.

Another shambolic refereeing performance it must be said. 🤷‍♂️

PSR, P&S, FFP is broken.

It was meant to level the playing field financially. But it keeps you in your place, and rewards clubs who break the rules.

Some clubs bend over backwards to try & stay within the rules. #LUFC selling Archie Gray, #NUFC selling Elliot Anderson.

Home grown talent sold to tick an accounting box. Young lads who love their home team auctioned off like cattle at a market.

Both players have family members who played for their club, historical ties cut for a broken system.

And what happens to the teams that break the rules?

Everton, Leicester, Nottingham Forest all broke the rules and got a tiny points deduction. Pittance compared to reward of staying in (or getting promoted back to) the Premier League.

Man City broke the rules 115 times and have had zero consequences, except filling their trophy cabinet up and patting themselves on the back.

Football is crying out for independent regulation, because it cannot regulate itself.

Leeds United are maybe the ultimate example of why some form of financial constraints and owner oversight is required.

Peter Risdale's financial dream almost snuffed out one of the biggest clubs in England.

Everton (and Forest and Leicester) out-spent Leeds and as a consequence stayed up (or got promoted) and Leeds got relegated and stayed down.

Everton's punishment was a 10 point deduction. Fairly significant but not handed out in the relevant season, nor impactful on their top tier status.

And the punishment for breaking the rules has not rewarded Leeds for abiding by the rules. And every year Everton stay up at Leeds expense, is another £100 million of Premier League TV rights.

Leeds should have just broken the rules and stayed up. They would be several 100 million pounds better off and still be in the Premier League.

When clubs benefit from breaking the rules - with little to no consequences - and the cost of compliance is to sell your best academy players. Then the system is utterly broken.

Between FFP, VAR (toenails offside), rogue agents, sports washing, FIFA corruption, state owned clubs, etc etc football in 2024 is the wild west.

And about as far away from the game we love as possible.

And it is in desperate need of regulation or revolution.

[Whispers @uptheevilla]

So £42m for Doug, £8m for tim, £19m for Kellyman = £69m.... sounds like the books are well balanced. #avfc

THIS MOMENT.

[Villa Views @VillaViews_]

When you lose and complain about VAR you can be seen as a bad loser. So let me say, after WINNING three points, that the use of the technology today was shameful. Lines drawn wrong and gutless officials protecting a young ref on debut rather than the game's integrity. Disgrace.

[matt maher @mjmarr_star]

Nearly four minutes after Bailey scores, the goal is chalked off. That is a shambles from the officials, I'm afraid. #avfc

There's someone we want you to meet. ⭐

Lucy wrote to us about her passion for football, her disabilities and one of her favourite players: @TyroneMings.

Her dream was to one day walk out at Villa Park and meet the squad.

On Saturday, that dream came true. 💜
