Because they were using vandalism as the excuse for why they charged Villa £55 a few years ago

A Villa fan on Twitter pointed out that Blues charged them £55 once

True, and in that sense 2023 was the missed opportunity. As a group of fans, we would've accepted the relegation back down to the Championship, and then enjoyed the first season back down. If we did that now there would be a sense of entitlement from us

You enjoy championship football because we’re now a decent team in this division. A single PL season, done correctly, would cement our place at the top end of the Championship for several years to come

Which is fine. That’s the model. Every rebuild makes us stronger. This squad is far better than the one that got to the playoffs in 2023

It was 23 starts I think, which is half the season. I like Sheaf. On his day a great player. However last season I don’t remember him having a single stand out game. Yet we still got to the play offs. My point is he isn’t the crucial part of the team that he was a few years ago. The Sheaf...

Only if you’re being pedantic

Some really odd comments being made in this thread. Do people actually think that Ben Sheaf is the reason we got to the play offs last year?

Well replaced a goalkeeper (jury is out), and added to the defence. We’ve lost a midfielder that struggled to play half the season

It’s the same squad as last season which finished 5th

Disappointing in terms of numbers. However I'd much prefer us to hold out for players we want rather than panic buying any old rubbish.

In fairness Mr Bean in goal with Stan & Ollie at CBs could make our goalie and defence look like children

I think after this season the financial regs will start to hit them if they stay up
