Absolutely not! Truthfully.
I think Villa actually ultimately stayed up this year as a result of a totally inept piece of refereeing against Sheffield United. Both the referee and technology failed at every level. I’m not so moral that, had we been the beneficiaries, I’d have tried to overrule that outcome...but ‘back handers to the the ref’ and ‘betting scandals’...if and when we go down that route the game is finished imo.
