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

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.

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.
