Remember when Villa put a £100m release clause in Jack Grealish’s contract thinking that would protect them from the big clubs and then Man City paid it with ease using fraudulent funds and benched him after one season.
RED CARTEL THOUGH!!!!!!
What Emery has done With Aston Villa is remarkable after being asset stripped by the red cartel. No doubt it will happen again this summer because of current Premier League rules. Either way Emery is the best manager in the league no doubt.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Manchester City FC have taken more players from Aston Villa in the last 5 years than any of Manchester United, Liverpool or Arsenal.

Blaming a "red cartel" for asset-stripping Aston Villa is an embarrassing rewrite of modern Premier League history.
If you want to know who actually dismantles Villa every time they build a great squad, look at the facts:
🚫 Gareth Barry (2009) -> Man City
🚫 James Milner (2010) -> Man City
🚫 Fabian Delph (2015) -> Man City
🚫 Jack Grealish (2021) -> Man City
Man City’s entire rise to dominance was built on systematically gutting direct, upper-mid-tier competitors:
•Everton: Stripped of Joleon Lescott and John Stones.
•Tottenham: Stripped of Kyle Walker.
•Arsenal: Stripped of Nasri, Clichy, Touré, Adebayor, and Sagna.
City fans acting like they are not part of the elite rich clubs that regularly by buyers from smaller clubs, in the last 18 months they have celebrated taking players from Palace, Everton, Bournemouth etc.

🚨🗣️ Matthew Syed (English journalist) went HARD against Pep Guardiola about Manchester City's case:
"Either Pep knew about it—in which case he is neither a visionary nor a legend, just a fraud—or he didn't know, making him incredibly shortsighted."
"I mean, I’m no forensic accountant, yet I’ve been questioning City’s financial arrangements for over a decade, despite facing constant insults and threats. And Pep didn't see a thing? Is he blind?"

Eithad Airways was not mentioned a single time in the entire published document.
The Etihad statement also refers to a Premier League commission - it is an independent commission.
Make no mistake, this is Manchester City’s owners fighting without their names attached and it’s again, very illegal.
BREAKING: Etihad Airways is considering legal action against the Premier League after it was implicated in its ruling that #ManCity breached its financial rules. The Abu Dhabi-based airline says it ‘categorically rejects’ the findings of the competition’s commission and warns it is now seeking legal advice on next steps.

The photo was from an Employee of the Month frame order online.
They just didn't give a fuck. They did it in front of everyone's faces and thought there would be no repercussions
People talking like the PL needs City They’re an utter irrelevance. They were before all this and they are now. The only reason they’re relevant is because they’ve illegally pumped a near billion quid into their tiny little football club in order to grab your attention.
That PL statement is everything I’ve been waiting for and more. Year after year feeling bemused how seemed to just blatantly get away it, hoovering up every cup in their path. Hope it was worth it, the football world is MORE than happy to go on without you in it. 👍🏼
