If they sell the players then the value of the club drops overnight. They must have a way around this or they have taken the drop in value into account as part of the deal.

Think I read the 55% stake cost £35m so quite a drop already?

If it is £35m for 55% that means it would be cheaper to buy Aston Villa than it was to buy Virgil van Dijk.

No it doesn't.

My thoughts are that as long as you aren't completely ignoring FFP then a points deduction is unlikely. I reckon as long as we make a stab at it, we'll get away with a fine.

The new investmeant puts us back to just having FFP to worry about - so the figures go back down to about 40mill from what I remember - & we'd already made about 15mill of that by losing the loans and selling people we'd forgotten about like Gollini & Gil - so I I think we'd get away with finding another 10-15mill from players like Bjarnson (who I like but Bruce doesn't) - so maybe Grealish and Chester don't have to go?

Just my musings which make no more or less sense than anyone elses I guess.

I just hope this means we have turned a corner at last we deserve some luck.

But most important can we possibly tell Levy to fuck off?

Given what Risso said, no

Too right.

No it doesn't.

Do you not think so? We have Jack worth £20m(ish) - if he is sold are we still as valuable?

I'm a lot happier today than I was yesterday.

Now I'm going out to buy lots of alcohol.

From a common sense point of view, if we sell him for something like a realistic valuation, then there's no difference.  We're swapping a player for a pot of cash.  From an accounting point of view, we're actually better off, as he's worth nothing in the books at the moment (youth team players' values aren't capitalised) so every penny we get for him would be pure profit.  We'd then have £25m cash (or whatever) and a profit to offset against FFP losses.

I still want him to stay, obviously, I just think it'll be very difficult for him to.

If we get £20m(ish) for him, I guess yes.
