The Pit of Misery (All mess in here)

[Matt Collins]

In Italy I think a number of clubs have been liquidated and returned (fiorentina, Parma). I think Parma have won four successive promotions

If that happened to us does anyone have a sense of where West Midlands Village or Aston Vanilla would start from?

If there's one personal bright spot in all this for me, it's that I've never felt more connected to the club - I had no idea that we could both be such fuckwits with our finances.

Aston Villa are due c£15m in 2018-19 in parachute payments. I have discovered a sizeable amount of this has already been assigned to a bank and advanced in cash at a discount to the club. This appears already to have been spent (or the HMRC bill would not be a bother). #AVFC

Please mention who you are quoting in future posts.

We couldn't have had the 2018-19 parachute payments before the play off final because you wouldn't have known if we needed them or not. That was only 2 weeks ago, how can you spend the majority of £15m in two weeks? Sounds like bollocks.

Losing Andre Green for the 4 million being touted would be fit wrenching. This is really fucking shit.

What I don’t get is his grand plans for regeneration of Aston which presumably has nothing to do with being in the PL and can only have gone down the pan because the Chinese bloodline has been cut off. Oh I don’t fucking know ....

Quite easily if you owe it all to HSBC, I imagine.

I like what i've of seen of him but in reality he's started 8 league games in his career and hasn't exactly set the world alight, how much should we be getting for him? Or put it this way, if we were buying players (stop laughing/crying at the back) how much would you want us spending on him?

End of the day if tony was a total fuckwitt we could sell the entire 1st team squad for an average of £1m each and still survive well into November on running costs of 5m a month. My guess if we get offers for Kodjia, chester, grealish, adomah then at the firesale scale of the spectrum we'd still get 30m and into 2019 easily. Enough time to arrange a sale i think.

£100m please. All payable in the next couple of weeks if possible.

But we don't owe them £15m and in fact still owe them as of now.

I was just speculating. I have no idea how much we owe, or to whom, but if we're acting this desperately then we owe it to somebody.

By a click bait site.

On the bright side that estimate 5m a month loss includes wages of the loan players and the players who are out of contract, so it'll only be 3.5m a month come end of july...

yep i reckon with terry, snodgrass, gabby, hutton, grabban, samba, johnstone etc.. going thats the thick end of a million off it

so sell chester and jack to get in 30 odd million and hes won himself a year to get his assets out of china...
