Grealish should have been sold last summer, along with Chester and any other valuable players.  It’s all too late!

and yet the club hierarchy say absolutely everything is fine and in order

Indeed they do.  All will be revealed soon enough.

Do you like Kit-Kats?
Buys loads of them from Tesco’s.

Takes them back in those wanky blue and white stripey bags I imagine.

You'd think Captain Senseless and his ilk would have learnt from last Summer when they wanked themselves into a stupor imagining us going bankrupt, then we were taken over by more billionaires. Don't count your Chickens you ******, we will see where we all are this time in 12 months. You'll still be reading about us obsessively, I'm sure of that and the Villa won't be ponderous shit, deep down you know it too.

The sales of Jack and McGinn this summer should add about £40m to our net profit.

That won’t help one iota re the immediate FFP issue. They cannot he sold until the transfer window opens on 1st July and it is the accounts for the year ended 31st May 2019 which is relevant.  They cannot be sold before 31st May!  Grealish should have been sold last summer, along with Chester and any other valuable players.  It’s all too late!

I didn't say it would with this year's accounts.  But there's also provision in the rules for showing that you're making an effort in years after you've had a problem, and are at least attempting to get your house in order.  It's why the Blues are in bother, because they effectively stuck two fingers up at the League.

The FPP position was well known last summer.  What steps did the board take to address it?  Going out and signing expensive players like Abraham and Mings without selling valuable players doesn’t show any attempt to get the house in order!   It looks like the board has also stuck two fingers up to the board (and maybe the plan was to sell Grealish in January to solve the problem).

Well the 2018 accounts will be out in the next three weeks, so we'll get a clue then.

We've got money anyway. So we should spend it. I couldn't give a fuck anymore about penny pinching and selling anyone any good to spend roughly the same amount as Rotherham, even though your owners could buy every single club in the division 10 times over.

We’ll just do what we did in 1888 and form a brand new ‘Football League’ from scratch.

Please can we be the only team in it, so that we stand a chance of actually winning it.  And the associated cup competition.

My grandfather said we were brilliant.  Then again he attempted suicide the first time we were relegated.  Clearly runs in the family.

Be interesting to see the situation as accounts are due in a couple of weeks.
