Wyness said at the fan forum there was a plan for if we didn't get promoted.   Which now appears to be to go into administration.  Fuck me how do these people get these jobs?   

To be fair he didn’t say it was a good plan.
Did he say "I have a cunning plan?"

Why don’t they be honest with us all and say we’re in shit and need your help. We took nearly 40,000 Wembley and clearly have at least that many with a client reference, if they asked me for say £50 I’d give it, if 40,000 of us did that then that’s £2 mill to help with the bills

But would you trust them to use it wisely, given their performance to date?

One bright spot so far, nobody has interviewed Dwight Yorke for his opinion.

I (and others on here) have thought for years that one day a really big club will go under, never thought Villa might well be that club.

Owning a football club is an easier way to lose money than burning a million quid.

Given the (unfair in my opinion) 'football creditors rule', it's no surprise really that HMRC, after failing to overturn the rule, would start stepping in faster when football clubs are late with payments

If we are haemorrhaging money like we believe, how many of players (who ultimately let us down) would say to the club, I am prepared to take a 1 month pay break to help,with cash flow ( like terry did by all accounts).

Yes I know the argument will be why should they ?or would you take a pay cut? Or would you give up a months salary?

But, these blokes can afford it. Missing 1 months money is not going to send any of them to the food banks?

Certainly Richards and McCormack could do their reputations a lot of good if they did.  They won't though.  Modern day football, fucking great.

Just read an article stating that Xia could face jail time in China for wasting his money on us. The guy who's head of Fosun who own Wolves was arrested for questioning over the same thing. My question to Dr Tony is this. " Knowing how difficult it is for Chinese citizens to "export" your money out of the country why the fuck did you buy the villa and make all those bold predictions?"

I think he's off and just trying to posture to make it look like he's not desperate to sell.

Same with today's statement it all stinks of "it's not my fault and I don't have to sell"

Mate, until there is a massive influx of revenue/cash there is no ‘good news’.
All we are doing is setting ourselves up to lurch from one crisis to another.

For ‘ financial issues at Villa in June’  read the same for July, August...........
