Paying PL level wages by all accounts to players who've never even played there such as Scott Hogan. Have done this over and over again in the last 24 months to cheat their way back to the PL. Only one problem, it failed.

The Chinese owner can't get his money out of China due to a government crackdown. According to talksport

Two of my best friends are Villa fans. We spend our saturday mornings whilst our kids play football chatting all things Brighton, all things Villa, and all things football in general, so, yeah. I know all kinds of clubs are lambasted on NSC but when it comes to be a club that you have a soft-spot for, you realise how small-minded and arrogant some of our fans can be. Lots of billy big-bollocks going on now we've reached the big time. No problem wanting them relegated or struggling in the championship, but glorifying in their financial troubles is so distasteful, especially coming from us
One of the things I like about football in England is that wherever in the country you go you can find fans from a huge range of clubs, big and small, and engage in conversation about their club, how they're doing, history and players and so on. I don't feel the need to slag every one off, I just don't, and part of the fun in Brighton being where we are is that we get to meet clubs like Villa as equals - and right now, be performing even better than them.

A Championship club paying these weekly wages. To benchmark, Brighton with PL income and PL players, pay £40,000/£45,000 tops.

I recently discovered that the landlord of my favourite pub in Cornwall, who sometimes plays for my cricket team, is a Palace fan. I haven't worked out how to digest this information yet

That list I would guess is a year out of date, as it also omits Samba, Whelan and Elmohamady.

I recommend that when it’s your turn to bring the Tea, you slip him the Cucumber Sandwich with Wasabi.

Sounds like a convenient excuse - better the cash stays in China than disappears into the black hole ?

Bruce leaving isn't a bad thing as he's to defensive as a manager and didn't utilise the squad as well as he should've.
They'll flop in the playoffs max next season as the pressure will build big time

Ross McCormack still earning a fortune and he can't even get through his gate to go to training. If it's due to the Chinese Government cracking down on their money being used to buy football clubs that wipe out most of the West Midland's teams, Villa, Birmingham, WBA and Wolves all have Chinese owners

Hasn't Bruce got form for getting out of clubs just before it all goes tits up ?
