Tony’s Statement.

[Matt Collins]

I agree the stuff Tony was saying about competing in champions league in short term always made you worry about his grip on reality.

Howard Hodgson has posted this. He does quite like to big himself up but there does seem to be a growing consensus that this is the cause of the cashflow problems. I doubt any of us know what options he's got to get around these controls but it's hard to think they're easy. And then there is speculation that this is a smokescreen too

Our beloved #avfc is having big cash flow issues. The owner @Dr_TonyXia is doing everything he can to resolve this. It is to do with China foreign currency release hence similar issues at the Milan clubs. I am doing all I can to help him and the club. #sticktogether #avfc #utv

I read that HH is on the case and helping out the doc, we can all breathe a sigh of relief now.

Good God Hodgson.

[Deano's Mullet]

No idea who HH is.

[PeterWithe]

Is that the fella with the boat, who doesn’t like to talk about it much?

[VinnieChase84]

I know a lot of people have a few opinions on HH (good and bad) but he genuinely loves the club (as we all do) and is just trying to help out as much as possible given the shit we are currently in. Fairplay!

[TheTimVilla]

We could do with one of his cryptic/complete nonsense tweets to clear things up and put our minds at rest.

I’m sorry but that’s not good enough now. Powerpoint presentation, please.

Whatever we thought about him at the time, such sloppy management would never have happened under Deadly Doug.

We were in a desperate position when Doug sold the club in in 2006 due to epic financial mismanagement from September 1998  onwards.

We owe HMRC over £4m, according to reports, and we need to find it fast. Micah Richards hasn't played for us for nearly 600 days but we continue to pay him £35k per week. By the time his contract expires in 12 months time, and assuming that no other club is daft enough to buy/loan him from us, we will have paid him over £4m for not playing for us. Absolute madness

[Drummond]

What exactly is HH doing about it?

I'm doing all I can to help too. Fuck all other than discussing it here.

He's remortgaging his boat (the one he doesn't like to talk about)

[Chris Jameson]

No idea who HH is.

He is considerably richer than yow.

He's staking out a caravan park near Oswestry. Just in case, like.

Maybe this now, will make the football authorities review there fit and proper person test's, if the potential buyer is from a country that can suddenly stop its business people from moving money around as they see fit, then surely they should not be allowed to invest in a British business, or more to the point a British football club, as most of them need capital injections a number of times a year.
