We’ve got one.  The EFL have confirmed Percy’s ‘speculation’ above.

EFL confirm talks with Aston Villa over club's cash crisis

Matt MaherLess than an hour ago

Villa owner Tony Xia
In a brief statement, the league confirmed they would be offering "practical assistance, where appropriate" as Villa look to fight their way through a financial storm.

A report in the Telegraph has claimed EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey is due to meet with club officials next week in order to get a clearer picture of their future plans.

The severe nature of Villa's financial plight came to light last week when it emerged they had been threatened with a winding-up order by HMRC, after missing a tax payment.

Their problems are also of huge concern to the EFL, with Villa due to pay several million pounds in transfer instalments to Championship rivals by the end of the month.

It is thought Harvey will request a business plan for next season and proof the club can fulfil its financial liabilities.

Villa's troubles, which have been caused by owner Tony Xia's struggles to effectively fund the club, came to a head after their failure to reach the Premier League.

Though Xia was able to reach agreement with HMRC to stave off the immediate threat of administration, it still remains unclear whether the club has the funds to meet its next payroll and tax payment, due on or around June 22.

In a boost, the club on Wednesday announced the extension of their sponsorship deal with the Kindred Group.

The deal will see online casino 32Red become Villa's principal partner, with Unibet continuing as their official partner.

The former, who previously sponsored the club between 2006 and 2008, will now appear on home and away shirts.

Villa’s chief commercial officer, Luke Organ, said: “We are thrilled to be partnered with Kindred Group once again this season in a wider and more targeted partnership.

Reports yesterday said it's not that bad and that Mr Harvey will be visiting other clubs- for what end I am not entirely sure.

I sincerely hope that’s true. While not wishing to minimize any of this I do also wonder how much of this has been blown up or magnified due to 24/7 media and access to information? But either way the owner not being able to cover what should be basic financial responsibilities far outside of what we consider football related business like transfers is deeply concerning.

I 'm sure  I read something recently that suggested Forest were the only Championship club not running any debt

See that's what I want to read more of, a bit of stiff upper lip from us all.

I think I might explode with joy if we turn it around next season and our young lads stick all the jibes right down the throat of everyone who has been taking the piss.

If they want to be helpful, they can start by giving us a bye into the PL. Our fixtures for 18/19 will just be reclassified as friendlies.

Is that a proposition Joe?

Probably why they can afford 13 mill on a player! They will be strong next season.

I think it's more to do with other Championship clubs we owe money to shitting it and asking the EFL to check everything is okay and they will get paid. Fair play to them, I'd hope we'd be doing the same if we were in their position.

What do you want them to say though?  For me the only statement they need to make is on the manager, but only if they've made a decision.
