If we had Emery we wouldn’t have been in villas position.Over the last 15 seasons, they were relegated once, before that fought relegation twice. Spent three seasons in the Championship, then fought relegation in their first season back. So they have progressed with the appointments of Emery vs Dyche. So I stand by utter nonsense that they have accomplished more over 15 years. 2/3 seasons maybe.
To be fair, they have been quater finalist in the champions league. It’s probably what you need to be paying compete in the premier league and champions league. 6th in the premier league in terms of wages… footballs gone mad.14th highest in world football, if that's right surely that can't be sustainable for a club the size of Villa.

Their best season for 40 odd years and they came 7th.
FFS, even under Moyes and Martinez's time here we eclipsed that a handful of times.
Just a yo-yo club with ridiculous accents.
Match their spending, match their strategy, we can.they’ve had a few good seasons and have probable been more forward in there progress
if they can we can
Ha ha…Threat of Palace then.....
Stop that at once!Threat of Palace then.....
They shoved all the chips into the center of the table when Gerrard took over, and I thought it would cost them big. They assembled an expensive, aging squad with a short window and a manager who wasn't up to the task.If we had Emery we wouldn’t have been in villas position.
We have a crap squad and been hamstrung with investment.
We have a lower half squad whoever is managing us.
Apparently need to sell this season.They shoved all the chips into the center of the table when Gerrard took over, and I thought it would cost them big. They assembled an expensive, aging squad with a short window and a manager who wasn't up to the task.
Then Emery came in and proved he is, in fact, very good at what he does. The Champions League revenue should have pitched them out of the financial jam.
I would take their remaining fixtures over anyone else's. Spurs will sandbag for the Europa final, and United would be unwise to play anyone in the shop window on the last day.
