Hearing from several sources now that Aston Villa's financial difficulties are serious. This could very well lead to administration unless a buyer steps in to rescue it. Whether Xia would talk sensible numbers, though, is quite another matter. #AVFC
How can a buyer rescue us, serious question?

By paying off the debts and buying us?
If X had money, or Recon, could a subsidiary do it? How would a new owner affect FFP?
It makes my head hurt.

I think FFP is much more of a secondary issue if Tony has no money.

The only way they could do it was paying off the debts without bank funding ie if a sugar daddy wanted to pay off and start again.  By far the most sensible way of doing it would be to buy the club out of Administration and take the ten point penalty you’d start with next season.

Guess administration and a new owner might result in a CVA, new owner would agree a payment plan with HMRC and others. Really hope its not that bad, we pay what we owe and move on, it dosent look very good though

All very worrying. Just how in the name of God has this been allowed to happen. The owner needs to make a statement ASAP, he just can't allow the situation to drift.

He’s probably sleeping now.

And may also just be there, taking over from Wyness because we don't have a CEO and Birch is one?

According to Wikipedia, he oversaw (if that's the right word) a few takeovers at some clubs.

Sold Chelsea to Roman and then went to Everton. Aided Pompey and sold Bolton on too.

Interestingly he facilitated the sale of Portsmouth to the Pompey Supporters Trust which is maybe the route we'll all need to go down to shepherd our beloved Villa out of the darkness and back into the light... Or a wealthy American, there's always a wealthy American

Yes branding him an insolvency expert seems a bit sensationalist

We are fucked aren't we!

No, I have offered 50p for the stadium naming rights next year
And where are you finding that?

Just sold my season ticket back :)
You seem to be the only one finding humour and enjoyment out of all this. I wonder why.........
