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.

They weren't found guilty of "trying to match spending" you were convicted of system-wide industrial corporate fraud that has irreversibly damaged English football. City used fraudulent quantitative easing to inject close to £1B of disguised state cash into the system. That artificial monopoly money is exactly what triggered the hyper-inflation of player wages and transfer fees across the entire pyramid. Football clubs, just like banks, car manufacturers, airlines, and utilities operate under strict regulatory limits. Every major multinational is restricted by how much external capital can be dumped into them by super-billionaires and hostile nation-states to protect market competition. Dressing up systematic sports fraud as a "Robin Hood story" is absolutely laughable. Stop parroting these desperate lies to protect a multi-billion-pound scam. What you did to the game is vile.
