I would like to see us try and take the piss, too, btw, but something is stopping us from doing so.

 

I think we've shaken on something to get the takeover through, personally, but it could easily just be that it's not the way PIF wants to present itself to the wider world.

Did I say breach? I said Chelsea style. Bend the system till it breaks. Sell a golden lifetime box, the women's team, a square patch of land on the training ground. Whatever it was, judt not selling 2 promising young players and miss out on another. 

In an ideal world yes, but you can’t just magic things up to get round it. We haven’t got a hotel to sell. Our women’s team aren’t in the WSL so aren’t as ‘valuable’.

 

As it is the whole Anderson/Vladdy deal was a massive bend of the rules. We did as much as we could without venturing into the realms of something we would get punished for.

Villa will sell the women’s team to a holding company I think to cobble together the cash to stay compliant.

We've got a whole nation to tap into, if you beleive were owned by a state. We could and for me, should have got creative and pushed as hard as possible and tie the lwsgue up in knots in court like citeh.

 

You asked, thsts my take, always has been and always will be. Psr needs to go and I'm happy to see the club push masters off a cliff when possible.

I actually asked if anyone thought we should have taken the points deduction. 
 

Your position is an answer to a bit of a different question really.

I think it’s simply a case of the rules being drafted broadly so that they can be applied selectively, specifically with us in mind.
