Even though Aston Villa now have 3 "billionaire" owners, I really cannot get excited about the fact. There are no guarantees about anything in football. My worry is if they set out a plan, whether it's CL football in 5 yrs, or just to be surviving as an also-ran in the PL in 3 yrs I'm concerned that if we don't achieve the goal these people will lose interest and things will go to rack and ruin again, especially when in the everyday man's terms they probably paid (cost vs wealth) a couple of microwave ovens to buy in. Remember we got relegated under the watch of a "billionaire custodian", one whose name was sung loud and proud by many Villa fans in 2006. It doesn't matter who is in charge of the club or how rich they are. If they lose interest, if they take their eye off things, things will go downhill.
QPR had a £17m fine.
£17m was the fine. The other £23m was loans that they were forced to turn into shares instead.
£17m? That's less than taking a hit on McCormack and Hogan.
