Villa’s academy recruitment team will know about every child aged between 7 and 18 at every academy in the world. Let alone ones who play in the same country as them, who compete against them, and who represent their national team.
They’re obviously not interested in signing players from us because our captain, who coaches their U8’s or something, is telling them to.
I mean for goodness sake.

EFL need to take a long look in the mirror (again) for continuing to let this lot sign players window after window while this nonsense has been going on.
Hope things work out for them but they survived ahead of us while this was going on. Lucky for them and the EFL, I don’t think Derby will be looking for any sort of legal action.

This is a Matt Slater comment on a recent Athletic article he wrote after being a guest of Pearce’s at the Exeter game. 
Believe finances around football are very much his matter of expertise. I suspect we are not sustainable in the true sense of the word I.e profit making, but losses will be sensible as far as that can be the case.
Realistically I think in most cases only player trading can make a club profitable. So I do hope we make progress on creating some saleable assets in the squad but understand why we’ve not been able to do much of that as yet.

You'd know all about that.

Did they? Which ones had top 3-5 budgets in their league?

Totally agree. 
I really wish we could have been in a position to compete with Stevenage and Lincoln for players this summer just gone.

Knee jerk? We have been abysmal since about February?

Stability seems to be the buzzword and that’s admirable but stability for the sake of it is hugely damaging.
