The Long Awaited Accounts....

[ChicagoLion]

I will start with Fukien Abysmal.

It's almost that special time of year again!! 

Thought I'd bump this thread as I'm sure it's at the front of everyone's mind.

Should we have a poll on just how bad the finances looked just before our new overlords took over (as these accounts will be drawn up as of 31 May 2018)...?

That sense of disappointment you get when you can see that they've been uploaded but are going to take 5 days to appear on the Companies House website.  A sense of disappointment only matched by a glance at the Championship league table.

Got a feeling this isn't going to end well.

[mr underhill]

you mean as in a fines/points deductions/transfer embargo type of not ending well?

I will start with Fukien Abysmal.

Didn't we sign him on a four year £50k deal?

Can he play right back?

Hey Ads! 2009 called and it wants it overused attempt at humour back.

Its the lack of clarity that is a little unnerving. Villa might tell us everything is fine but the numbers need to reflect that.

Mad to look at the last page and a few casting doubts on Recon/Xia and then everyone thinking surely Wyness and co have a plan for this if we don't go up....

I would imagine this year's finances don't look pretty but all I ask is the owners and Purslow have a sustainable plan for not getting promoted.

Selling Jack...

I would imagine we're being heavily subsidised at present, like most clubs.

Let's hope that disappointment doesn't grow when they do appear.

Have they been released fully?  There's an article on the Brum Mail online today about the owners ploughing in £13m in January to fund our transfer window "spree" but nothing about the bottom line to the 12 months ending May last year.

Not yet no.  They've got that from a resolution that was submitted a little while ago.  Accounts are due to be filed today but usually take a few days to appear on Companies House.

I don't* know whether it's because we've been so hideous on the pitch for so long that I view your annual analysis of the accounts as one of the genuine landmarks of the Villa year for me, but it is. I used to hate it that we'd pore over the wage bill etc when all seemed well under MON. Now it's kind of box office for Villa nerds.

*I do know that it's because we've been so hideous on the pitch.

Come on round, we can Netflix and chill and analyse the accounts. x
