Given that Fulham apparently spent a net £3M (last season?) to go up, it further convinces me that having the right manager & club structure is more important than continuing to spunk money. It may take a few seasons to bring about such a revolution at VP, but shirley it's worth instigating - now we've hit financial Palookaville? Bruce continually bangs/banged on about experience being vital, but players only become experienced by being given a chance to play first team football when they're younger. His reluctance to utilise some of our young talent has aided & abetted the huge Summer clear-out which we're about to witness, so I hope sincerely hope The Suits have realised a radically different approach is now necessary to push this club forward. Bring it on, I say.

Bring it on, I say.Revolution NOW. We're not evolving, we're not progressing, we're fucking dull and boring, and we've got exactly what our approach has deserved; nothing.And as for "stability", our ever-dwindling income doesn't scream stable to me.
When Tony Xia took over and there was mention of Villa Park being re-named, I was completely against it but if things are bad financially, I really think this is the way to go - it could then go back to being Villa Park when the financial situation has improved.

People would still call Villa Park Villa Park, and that is why it would attract minimal money.

If Man City can use the tactic to inject 400m, why can't we use the same tactic to inject a substantial amount via Recon?
Just to clarify, for the three seasons just ended, our acc losses needed to be under 61 mill ( PL=35, CH= 13). We submitted ( as did all clubs) an estimated accounts for season just ended - by Mar 1st.Now we wait.......March 2019, figure drops from 61 to 39.
As far as I know if you have a transfer embargo you cannot pay a fee of any kind, including compensation or loan fees.

It was a new stadium.It is a long term commitment.The rules and penalties of FFP had not been established.There are independent firms that will provide an independent valuation of the naming rights and whatever that comes out at is the amount that will be allowed and as Paulie points out it will not be significant.
