My heart skipped a beat as I read it first as £42m.

Percy usually spot on. Says Tony not skint but flow of money from China restricted by Chinese government

Dr Tony Xia, the owner and chairman, is alleged to be struggling with cash-flow issues in China, which restricts the distribution of money leaving the country. There is no suggestion that Xia is struggling financially.

There is now an article in the FT using he headline Aston Villa in financial crisis after missed tax payment written by Murad Ahmed, Leisure Correspondent and quoting unnamed sources within the club stating that there is indeed a cash flow problem.

I would paste it here but they have a fairly stringent copyright policy and I can do without any further communications from Sue, Grabbit and Runne or Shylock, Schuster and Shlock threatening to squeeze out what is left of my toothpaste.   

Ex-fucking-scuse me?

I meant Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel  which is a Marx Brothers spoof on Radio 4 Extra, but the brain is scrambled.

Assuming for one minute this is as bad as people are fearing, one silver lining to it all is that if you go on Twitter you can (Or could find as he's probably deleted it now) Stan Collymore telling Villa fans "I told ya so" and Newcastle United fans proving what snowflakes they are saying that this is karma for NINE YEARS AGO when we sung a few songs and a few banners were hung because they'd been relegated. Northern softies.

PHEW. You can imagine my, er, concern seeing three names like that lined up together! No, Marx brothers is legit. Legit-plus actually.

Anyway back to despair.

Looks like the issues of moving cash from China is going to be as big an obstacle for us as FFP.

Way things are going I can honestly see Xia selling up to compound things further into the unknown.

I suppose one small comfort if we can get through this and actually pay our bills is at least we can get in a more dynamic and forward thinking CEO as Wyness did seem to be a bit old school in his approach and it hasn't exactly achieved great results so far.

I well take your point, Monty.

Why isn't it serious enough to be on the yellow ticker on Sky Sports News and John Sheridan being appointed Carlisle manager is?

This was disturbingly amicably resolved.

From what I understand, the restriction is more down to personal money rather than corporate. Maybe Pat Mac can clear this up?

[russon]

It all goes back to that 2-2 v Stoke under O’Neill, that was the beginning of the end.

[john e]

will this put back Xia’s prediction of European domination within 5 years by much do you think

[Walmley_Villa]

Why didn't Barry pay the tax bill?
