False dawn Number37.........

Who knows? I do know Xia could have sold us off entirely for a few quid in his pocket but didn't because he wanted to work with people to take the club forwards. I take that as a positive.

For Xia - I think its more of a case of still being part of the gamble - but he'll have to share the resulting PL riches with others.

I’m somewhat sceptical of their Football pedigree despite being “fans”, I know for a fact many of us would struggle hugely running the Villa if ever given the chance, so quite how they’ll do will be interesting. With the departures of Wyness/Round we desperately need a football administrator of pedigree as CEO and a forward looking DoF. Is Dan Ashworth still leaving the FA?

There was something on talk shite about a land revaluation (we've got quite an extensive portfolio) which could help ease FFP.

He reckons the FFP problems were a red herring and the real concern was Xia’s lack of cash.

As much as I am as happy as a dog with several appendages that we are no longer looking over the precipice of debt etc anyone else still a little nervous of the new money coming in?

At least I suppose that after the secrecy surrounding Xia from the off in regard to money and history you can clearly see who these guys are and how they go there.

Have everything crossed that this is 3rd time lucky for us

I wouldn't bet against that. I thought all along that the FFP side was being overplayed.  I still think there's a shortfall of a decent amount but the £40-50m figure never worked for me.  I had it as closer to £30m all along and with all the leavers and the sales we've made I honestly wouldn't be shocked if the current picture is something more like £20m to be made up.  Even if the numbers were right I'd make the shortfall now to be a lot less than some are still suggesting.

If we can get £4-5m for the stadium naming, similar again for some obscure sponsorship deals and then sell a few fringe players (Lansbury, BB, Gardner?) I think that might be enough to not really worry about it any more for a few months.  Good team performances, improved commercials and a decent run in the League Cup could all help nudge things in the right direction.

None of this gives us the funds to sign anyone, and we do need a couple of players, so we're far from out of the woods but I don't think we should be worrying massively over FFP right now.

"They've now got the third richest owners in English football".

That definitely lifts spirits. And I'll lift a spirit to that! Up the Villa!

The FFP situation is real, how bad?  we can not tell but the biggest and most immediate problem ( lack of cash) has been solved.
