Think Rongtian He and Tony Xia need to speak asap.

As i said earlier, I couldn't care less what they have to say.  I won't believe a word they say.

It doesn't matter what's said. Action is required.

We don't, unfortunately, have any rights in this. The way of the world now is that people feel they have a right to know everything when they want to know it. But it just isn't the case.

Trouble is, it's very difficult to know whether any action taken is the right action if we don't know the extent of the problem.  It's asking a lot for Villa fans to take stuff on trust after the last few years.

Right now and it pains me to say it but in the absence of a sugar daddy rescuing us then Administration and taking the twelve point penalty seems the most attractive option.

Are you Elon Musk in disguise?

If tony enjoys pitchforks, torches and angry mobs than keep the supporters in the dark.

What puzzles me in all this is that as I understand it, Wolves, West Brom, The Rags are all now Chinese owned so how come we seem to be the only ones having trouble getting funds out of China. So take The Dogheads out of the equation because of promotion but the other two don't appear to have the same problems we have.

Supposedly as Fosun already had overseas ventures they can move money out of China easier. The bitters were in the PL so time will tell what they're situation is now that gravy train has stopped, and sha are reportedly in the crapper as well.

They probably don't need big funds from China, I'd guess that we're the only one haemorrhaging 5 million a month.

I guess its that the diffence between the clubs generated income and what the owner needs to put in himself is biggest at Villa, they might be Chinese owned but dont need to plug as many holes at the end of the month.

The returning Albion CEO mentioned that their finances were in a state.

The minus 10 points...What are our chances of staying up.?.....this is the pit of misery after all. .............just realised it isn’t the pit

I think it’s 12 points now

Not worried, we've been that far behind the running after 6-7 games for 2 years running now and been ok.

The best thing any supporter can do at the moment (pending having the money of course) is to go and renew or buy a season ticket.

Must be a good few million to be hard there not to mention we'll be needed more than ever come August

West Brom have the prem money

BLose have a much lower cost base

Maybe they are having problems but are keeping quiet or more likely we are the big news of the moment
