Coming from someone who would rather see the club finished for good than try to survive. At least you've laid out your priorities here.

Oh do piss off.

Need to keep hold of Villa Park at all costs. Maybe fans could buy it

Ive seen a load of stuff about fans buying the club which I dont agree with.But I absolutely would put in for a floated company Villa Park Ltd which could rent the ground back to the club. £200 per share, no more than 10 shares per person, must have a booking history.

Was made an asset of the community by the trust back in January, so at least we would know before it was sold

If he doesn't want to click on a paper's link, what's the problem?

I think that is a little unfair, he like all of us are suffering with this.

For those who don’t to read it, it doesn’t make good reading anyway.
We have a made a down payment of 500k against the 4.2m we actually owes with more to come next week.


It really looks like we are scrabbling down the back of the sofa for any loose change.

He can do what he likes, or doesn't like, and I can point out when it's really a bit daft. First bit of potential good news being reported all week and instead he wants to spout hate and tell the world he'd rather Villa were sunk for good. Bizarre.

As it stands i'm more inclined to believe Stan's assumption that Wyness is the main guilty party rather than The Mirror's piece which was seemingly written by Wyness himself putting all blame on Xia

But who knows. Wyness has certainly got his side across quick via Nursery though

Sorry but that doesn’t stack up. The problems  have been caused by the owner not supplying the necessary cashflow. In those circumstances, directors are legally obliged to act in the best interests of the company, NOT one individual. Faced with a winding up order, Wyness has done the right thing by exploring all eventualities.

What if said owner had no idea how bad the situation had become because said CEO (who's job it is to run the club day to day) hadn't been telling him the hard facts ?

I've taken a bullet for everyone and here is the article from The Scum 'newspaper', i'll also delete the link from above.

ASTON VILLA have averted their first crisis after reaching an agreement with HMRC over their outstanding £4.2million tax bill.

ScumSport can reveal Villa have made a substantial down-payment of £500,000 today and will follow that up with further payments next week.

The move comes after Villa’s executive board met today to discuss the club’s perilous financial position.

It is understood Villa owner Dr Tony Xia, currently in Beijing, has agreed a deal with the Premier League to dip heavily into this season’s £15million parachute payment.

He will use more of that cash to pay an imminent £8million wage bill due later this month.

It was reported yesterday that Villa suspended their CEO Keith Wyness after the club was served a winding up order for missing a tax payment.

I'm not sure it's good news really.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

So we've agreed to pay 500k now and plan to use our final parachute payment to pay off HMRC, this month's wage bill with a bit left over towards July.

It would be hard to imagine an owner and businessman being that remote from the numbers.

You'd rather administration?
