Surely it's plain to see?
Just bear in mind this BBC News report from 29 November 2004: -

Large and financially successful football clubs should not be concerned about those struggling at the lower end of the industry, according to Freddy Shepherd, chairman of Newcastle United.


Speaking at the Soccerex international football business forum in Dubai, Mr Shepherd said executives of Premiership clubs striving for success did not have time to worry about lower division outfits.
"I think it is dog-eat-dog," he said. "The big fight will be for the Premier League to take over the running of the other leagues.
"The others can't hold us back, the time will come, I think, when it is the Premier League running the whole show. "Many of these other clubs will have to go part-time. When we have got 52,000 fans at each home game, the last thing we are worried about is clubs in the third division."


'No sympathy'
In the past five years, Newcastle has bought players such as Kieron Dyer and Jermaine Jenas from lower division sides. But, responding to claims Premiership clubs needed 72 clubs thriving under them in a solid Football League pyramid, Mr Shepherd said: "There is no sympathy here."



Go on Villa. Do the decent thing and win on Sunday.
 
What goes round,comes round,maybe?

Don't **** on anyone on the way up,you might have to pass them on the way down.
 
And if you're in any doubt that the Sunderland supporting Villa manager wants to put them down, here's what Shearer did when Martin O'Neill was manager of Leicester City ...

... something that O'Neill has alluded to today in the Mirror, confirming that he holds a grudge against him.

Anyone, too, who watched them on the 2006 World Cup pundits panel will know O'Neill absolutes hates Shearer. Not only did he disagree with just about anything Alan said, but Martin's body language was saying "Come near me and I'll punch your funky lights out. Funk right off you geordie 5h1t."

Wouldn't that just be karma coming right back to bite you on the anus?


 
After the game Newcastle revealed their new kit that they will be wearing in the CCC.

Payback time for all the interminable years of Geordie Nation 5h1te. How fitting it is that a Sunderland supporting manager, Phil Brown, is helped by another Sunderland supporting manager, Martin O'Neill, to keep Hull up and send Newcastle down, while 48,000 people spend the afternoon in Sunderland dancing on their grave.

Funking get in! :clap:.
