It obviously doesn't say anything about "covering January". They've injected some more capital, that's all.

Yes Spurs weren't paying our valuation but it's still something to avert a potential FFP sanction.Would be disappointed in the new lot if we get hit with any sort of points deduction (we can barely challenge for top 6 starting on 0 points). We had a massive warning last summer which we were lucky to get away with.Why should we sell him for less than his worth? Especially if the club understands that we didn’t ‘need’ to at that time.I’m glad we told spurs to fuck off.If we ‘must’ sell him in the future, and I’m resigned to the fact we do, then at least his true worth to Aston Villa is covered by a minimum valuation in his contract, hopefully.Probably around the period we were trying to pay our tax bills in instalments and cashing in on our sell on clauses for players we sold in 2016.I agree things changed when Wes and Nas turned up. Let's hope they're owners who have properly looked at the long term rather than just paying lip service to it.From what i understand Spurs never actually made an offer during that time, instead holding off until much later in the window in an attempt to push the price down and make us desperate. The new owners coming in and fixing the cashflow issues meant we could give them a "£40m or fuck off" style ultimatum so there was never really an offer to accept.

I would guess that the Accounts will show a loss of £20+ million, until we realise that we have to operate as a championship club, paying championship wages, we will never sort out the mess we are in with regards to expenditure.
Last summer was a capital issue as Dr Tony had maxed out the credit card.Shaun Harvey is going. We've probably bought the new CEO or donated an airport to the EFL or something.
It's damned if they do in some quarters. If they say nothing they're wrong and if they say promotion isn't vital they don't care.
