Quote from: Mister E on July 20, 2018, 03:59:04 PMSerious question: how will we stop irresponsible people at the club going on another player-buying spree to load us up with more ageing players on long-term contracts?Now that we have arrested the financial problems, I sincerely hope that there will be an injection of intelligence, common sense and some coaching & tactics!They could get rid of 'em all & bring in some responsible replacements.

Or we're denied promotion or a spot in the play-offs?I am pretty sure these people know what they are doing.There is nothing to stop them discussing the situation now.If the result of those conversations is a point deduction then we know that they will have to flog the family silver.I do not believe there has been an FFP points deduction so it would be brave of the league to single us out.Based on the ( speculative) financial information that is out there, I think it might be impossible to avoid breaching FFP so you could be in the might as well get hung for a sheep as a lamb.

This must have been in the pipeline for weeks!I want a new head coach. A new youth team coach both playing the exact same style with The exact same philosophy so players from the kid through to the first team play exactly the same way! Including formation. I also likr the thought that should the manager leave the youth team manager coukd step in and in turn be replaced as the youth team manager. Constant plan in place from the bottom up with 1 philosophy and 1 direction clearly laid out by the owners. This could become a reality and I hope it does
CAS overturned AC Milan's FFP Europa ban. Villa should appeal as well. Fuck 'em all.http://www.kickoff.com/news/87791/ac-milans-european-football-ban-ffp-brea
I am absolutely thrilled by this. Have high hopes and a naive dream we can still find a way round FFP and keeping JG & JC. My only balancing comment would be this I discovered from the Cairo Post in 2014. May not mean anything other than a business liability pushed to the limit, no idea if or how it was resolved:CAIRO: Egyptian billionaire businessman Nassef Onsi Sawiris was handed a primary judicial ruling to a three-year sentence and a fine of 50 million EGP (US $6.99 million) for refraining from paying checks to the Egyptian Tax Authority, Al-Ahram quoted Reuters.Sawiris, the CEO of Orascom Construction Industries Company, is the youngest brother to the two famous tycoons; Naguib and Samih.Al-Ahram reported that Orascom Company reached a deal with the Egyptian Tax Authority to settle a tax dispute, where the agreement then stipulated that the company pays 7.1 billion EGP in installments.Although Orascom had already paid two batches worth 2.5 Billion EGP, it didn’t pay the rest of the scheduled installments since the ouster of former President Mohamed Morsi in July 3, 2013.Nassef Sawiris was ranked the 183th richest person in the world and fourth in Africa in 2014, his net worth was estimated by Forbes to be $7.3 billion.
