Spot on. That United side last season was comfortably their worst since post-Ferguson decline, and even as poor as Freiburg are, I don’t think it would’ve been anywhere near as one-sided against last season’s Spurs or United

How would you do it? Every country in Europe gets an equal share?
The truth is that a team that finishes 17th in the PL can win the EL. Basically every team in the PL has the best the coaches, scouts and data teams and...most importantly money thus players.
That's why we hired Frank: so we can compete on all fronts loooool
Real Madrid have won the EC/CL 16 TIMES, PSG going for two (God willing) in a row.
Funny how that isn't a problem but English clubs winning a few of the lesser European trophies is.
English clubs used to dominate in the 70's and 80's but were banned due to football hooligans, maybe we're actually half-decent at this game.
Not understanding the bleating tonight, weren't that long ago Spanish clubs dominated the CL and EL.

I’d add that Villa were literally in the Championship playoff for promotion the same week we played for the Champions League final in 2019. Our two club’s fortunes could not have been more different heading into the 2020s. Somehow, they’ve zoomed by us, while despite posting top 8 revenues in world football we cannot build a squad to save our lives and very well may be relegated this weekend.
The standards at this club and the sheer bungling of nearly every transfer is mind-blowing. We have really fucked it all up. Not an ounce of competence anywhere to be found at this club.
Oh they should 1000% do that money-wise.
But in terms of entries into the competition, they only let one English team into the Conference League and they keep walking it, what are they supposed to do? Leaving the strongest leagues out would cheapen the competition horribly.
Well money wise is just prize money to teams in the competition so that is also just entry...but take your point
I bet Bournemouth or Brighton or Brentford don't win the EL next season.
They're a bit hamstrung by the stadium and season ticket prices
Just makes our downfall all the more spectacular with the advantages we have over most of the league
Don't worry, we'll just sack the next 5 managers and it'll finally be us on the rebuild.
Manager-roulette.
Not sure they can really. The EL is about as good as it gets for them just as it is for us. They’re not going to win the league or CL, maybe one of the domestic cups. Enjoy it villa.
We’re not run by football people & that will always hamper us.
All the resources in the world & not a scooby how to use it.
Relegation would be the ultimate reality check.
Yep, considering our resources, money spent and wages paid, this has to be one of the worst underperformances in modern football history. You’d struggle to find another club spending this much while flirting with relegation in consecutive seasons.
United are the closest comparison, but even during their post-Ferguson decline they never seriously flirted with relegation.
At some point it can’t always be the refs, the manager, injuries or bad luck. The common denominator is the squad and the culture around the club.
Not certain.
Rumours Emery is off.
Martinez is confirmed off. Rogers will go to a giant. Buendia will be wanted.
They also have an aging squad.
They have a lot of work to do this summer if all the above occurs.
After we won it I said the EL will be exclusively won by PL teams going forward. I don't see that changing for a while. One of Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford will win it at a canter.
Never forget those that tried to gaslight the fanbase that winning it made Ange a good manager. Never Forget.
