Jamie Carragher: "I'd like to apologise to Aston Villa, the owners & their fans. My language this week was clumsy & wrong. I can assure Villa fans it was tongue in cheek but I can understand it's not come across that way, so apologies. Good luck today UTV!" #AVFC

Aston Villa threatening Jamie Carragher with legal action over 'insults' looks wild... but this is why club's billionaire owner Nassef Sawiris has had enough, writes TOM COLLOMOSSE trib.al/gvU4uQl

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.

Aston Villa will initiate legal action against Jamie Carragher for his unacceptable insults about the Club and its fans. Aston Villa will not allow anyone to stop our ascension in English and European football. Nassef Sawiris, Chairman

We really should know who are making bg these decisions

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says Michael Carrick deserves to be given more time to turn things around at Manchester United. “He should at least be given until the Aston Villa game on 8 November,” he told reporters

Who is making these decisions? Who are the faceless figures that sit on these panels. What knowledge do they have of the laws of the game. They TheFa are bringing the game into disrepute. They are letting the referees down

Arsenal fans ladies & gentleman. 🫣

I’m not so sure about that like mate 🤔

"Everyone's talked about Eddie Howe, Antonio Conte... there's actually one staring us in the face there!" Unai Emery is who Manchester United need!

I am not a big fan of individual awards because football means teamwork and family and belonging to something greater. But Unai represents his own excellency and the hard work and effort of hundreds of men and women with a purpose in Aston Villa. From owners to staff. Unai didn’t win but he deserved with my high respect to Luis De la Fuente, also a fair winner. And if there will be one for the best sporting director it would be for Roberto. Keep going guys.
