The Sports Buff ⚽️ ⚾️ 🏈

First, it was Newcastle under Alan Pardew (for all be it one season) Leicester under Brendan Rodgers and then West Ham under David Moyes. Here are examples of teams that have tried to upset English football’s status quo, the established top six sides.

Since the beginning of this decade, it appears to be a given that Manchester United, Manchester City. Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are the six biggest sides in the country.

In the past five to six years, however, there’s been an attempted toppling of those superpowers. The season just concluded Aston Villa qualified deservedly for the Champions League for the first time in their history and Newcastle did the same after 20+ years the season before.

For anyone trying to be a smart Alec, the Champions League in the modern era. Just like Newcastle before them, The Villains will have their work cut out to build on the successful campaign of last term.

Villa have sold Douglas Luiz, Tim Iroegbunam and Omari Kellyman is very close to joining Iroegbunam out of Villa Park. In return for the sale of former Man City midfielder Luiz, Sam Illing-Junior (once of Chelsea) and Enzo Barrenechea will be joining Aston Villa.

So Villa fans and powers that be, if you thought this would be easy, you now know it most certainly won’t be.

Financial Fair Play want to say ‘hello’. FFP, the unwelcome figure in football is almost like that relative you have not seen all year, but come the holiday season he will always be round at family gatherings, always wanting to lend money or genuinely be a nuisance.
