Unai Emery believes he can win the Champions League at #AVFC.
"Aston Villa won in 1982. They were favourites at that moment? I think not. Leicester won the league 10 years ago. In football, everything can happen."

Unai Emery in advanced talks over new Aston Villa deal in blow to Man Utd #avfc
This has always felt like how it would turn out and what a boost for Villa. Best manager in the Premier League IMO

Can I just say what a magnificent club Aston Villa are. A really top club. A BIG club. As big as any in the world, maybe even the universe.
And what a superb fanbase too. Top, top, top fanbase. Genuinely, just full marks all round.

Adam is my favourite creator out there at the moment. He’s also a Villa fan.
He’s nailed it here – it’s embarrassing from Villa this, if you want to be a big club you need to rise above clapping back to banter… that’s kinda the whole point

Christian Benteke is the only player in Premier League history to have scored goals on Halloween, Bonfire Night, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, and his own birthday.
I’m personally not a huge fan of what the club have done, however you can’t argue with this either ⬇️🤝
Nassef isn’t suing Carragher because he thinks a High Court judge is going to slap a damages order on a podcast rant. He’s doing it because the entire media class has spent years treating Villa (#avfc) as a convenient stepping stone and a permanent second tier.
Carragher didn’t just give an opinion. He told the fans to "shut the fuck up" and declared the club can never reach the level of the traditional powers, right as the ownership has poured hundreds of millions in, won the Europa League, and got the team competing in Europe properly. That isn’t banter to the people who actually own and run the club. It’s a direct fucking insult to these owners who've done a terrific job rejuvenating the club and running it better than at least 3 of the media six, it's an attempt to set the ceiling in public and keep the hierarchy story alive.
Sawiris has form for pushing back when he thinks the system or the narrative is stacked against the project. This is the same instinct. Put the statement out, make the pundits and the wider media think twice about casually writing Villa off as forever below United, and show the fanbase that the ownership won’t sit quiet while the club’s rise gets dismissed. Whether it ever reaches a courtroom is almost beside the point. The message is the point.
If you want the current hierarchy left unchallenged, fine. Call it tinpot. The people who rebuilt the club from the brink of HMRC winding them up clearly see it differently.
