It's that time of year again!

Have we got a video?

I think last year they released the details of the accounts to the press, before they were available on Companies House.  I expect they'll do the same thing again even though they're still

"OVERDUE".

It wouldn't surprise me if the accounts are already at Co House and have been for some time. That bunch are slow at the best of times

Nope.  The actual accounts might take a while to appear on the website, but as soon as they're filed they should appear as having been lodged.  It's massively damaging for companies to have accounts to be shown as late, it puts all sorts of worries in the minds of creditors etc.  If Companies House got that wrong they'd probably be sued.

It doesn't quite work like that.  Like UKR hsa said, they could still be processing them.  One of my clients filed on deadline day back in September and the day after the website showed overdue and that was subsequently removed once the accounts were processed by Companies House.

However, February deadline day is probably one of the quietest Companies House has so it shouldn't take them too long to sort them out.

Aston Villa lost £18m last year; income £12m down, gates 3,500 down, £27m made selling players, and they cut costs - presume wages. Unhappy.

Aston Villa say Randy Lerner waived £20m interest on £107m loans to the club in 2011-12. He must be delighted with how it's all gone....

Oh dear, the income is a big worry.

A worry for this year I would guess, but the TV money we will get next year will dwarf that. I wonder where it has come from? Surely not from losing 3500 people in 11/12 compared to 10/11?

What did we lose the year before, £56 million? I wonder if anybody can have a good guess at to what state we're in as of now.

I would say gates are slightly up and didn't the kit sell very well in summer? Plus the wage bill must surely look a bit better now?

Not having to pay compo at the end of the season would be a big positive too.

So if he'd taken his cut we'd have lost 38m? What ARE these players earning?

I guess in Doug-enomics it losing £12million in fans turning up worked.

Lose £12 million for complete loss of trying to compete, but sell Downing/Young and get £27million in. Repalce two players with one at the cost of £10 million, leaves you £5 million up.

Not really, income only £12 million down and we finished seven places lower than the previous season, and did worse in both cups. Bearing in mind that the next television deal will be much higher, I reckon if we stay up then next year we'll be in profit.

Which makes the decision not to invest (significantly) in January to ensure our survival all the more ludicrous.

We should never be in profit. Why give to HMRC what you can give to the manager in the trasnfer window?

you sure?. remember those figures include 27 million profit on transfers and randy waiving his 20m. Next seasons accounts will have a 25m loss on player transfers, even lower income and probably  Randy taking his Interest.

The guys a joke, £20 million interest? He might aswell fuck off now and take his dogsbody lackeys with him before he completely destroys our club.

You missed the word 'waived.'

[bertlambshank]

Is it Randy himself or the trust charging us interest?
