Edens and Sawiris fund NSWE Stadium Ltd with £60m of their own money. NSWE Stadium Ltd pay Aston Villa FC Ltd (or whatever our holding company is called) £60m to buy the stadium. Aston Villa FC Ltd now have an added income of £60m on the books and therefore reduce their losses and pass FFP. NSWE Stadium Ltd have -£60m on their books, but that does not matter, because they are not subject to FFP. They are a seperate company.

It is basically a really, really transparent way for Edens and Sawiris to get money into the club. A little bit like selling massively overvalued naming rights (Man City).

I am just glad we have owners with enough money to do this to avoid us getting shafted over finances. They have, apparently, done this at a figure which is just right to get us out of the shit whilst not looking insanely dodgy (apparently Derby did the same thing except for a higher figure which attracted way more suspicion).

Ta very much.

What i don't understand is .. who have they bought it from ?

Don't they already own it ?

When they bought the club surely Villa Park was part of the deal if not who owns it ?

It’s called capitalism and it’s bollocks. Philip Green’s wife owns his businesses and lives in Monaco, Facebook and Amazon pay less tax than me. Apparently, this is a really good way of generating a huge amount of money and the crumbs thereof landing on our plates mean that it is entirely in our interests.
Of course NSWE have bought the stadium and not the pitch and the grass thereby attached to it. Next season hopefully they will buy the pitch and the grass for another £60M😉

And corner flags, goalposts and nets, paint on the lines and the dugout shed ( with water bottles and seats) could be another nice little earner  :D

Why even bother with them.  They are firmly in our rear view mirror now and best left to heavyweight intellectual debates with their new tenants about who hates us more.

If this was the silver bullet for our FFP worries, would we have been in the shit otherwise?  I mean before this story broke what were the best guesses for Purslow being so confident that our finances were OK?

If my memory is right last summer the club bought out a raft of leases including, amongst others,  a semi detached house in Great Barr and Villa Park. If so, in recent history we have only owned the stadium for a year. Can anyone verify and explain this?

We have held the freehold since 1897 for Villa Park. It was just mortgaged. I haven't looked at Land Reg, and I'm not spending £3, but I imagine we now have a long term, maybe 999 year, lease.

I have never had a problem with owners investing money in a football club, provided that it is not just money loaned to the club and I think FFP should reflect this.  Say an owner buys a club for £50m and invest another £50m in capital and the only way he can get it back is by selling the club or from profits (generally minimal in football) and in the future he wants to sell the club and it is only worth £50m, the loss is down to the owner and his poor investment.  The club has had a windfall and ends up back in the same position.  The owner is £50m worse off but the club is back in the same position.

It is a way around FFP and a way for the owners to inject money into the club for the benefit of the club. Clever owners who are wealthy enough to do this kind of thing will do it. The less wealthy and less savvy owners will complain about it. Again the clever owners will make sure they haven't broken any rules where some owners will come a cropper if they have broken rules.

I am off to Small Heath Alliance now to have a laugh at their reaction. I will be disappointed if their thread on this subject isn't already at least ten pages long.

If we have non-footballing events at Villa Park, eg boxing matches or Take That concerts, I assume this means Villa no longer get any of the money?
