Fully expect a stadium naming rights deal and also a lucrative new shirt sponsor/sleeve……..

[Somniloquism]

What does a new stadium give us that a new North Stand and down the line a new Witton Lane and the warehouse etc can't give us?

Villa Park is one of our unique selling points- do we want to be just any old club playing in a bland soulless bowl?

You would like to think management have a plan but then you see Chris Heck's efforts since he joined us and you would really have to wonder. Does CL qualification strengthen the club's case for the council to follow through with badly needed investment in public transport nearby or a new stadium site? Do the local council really care?

To think we could qualify for the CL this season and  maybe a European trophy and still have to sell a Luiz or Ramsey to balance the books. What's the point then really ...we will be hard pressed to keep Emery not to mind some key players if that's the case.

Jesus, how many times do people need to be told it’s nothing to do with the council?

Think he meant the transport problems

Transport comes under combined authority now doesn't it so Andy Street. Roads will still be council though.

Stadium naming will fetch sod all, though.

Be interesting to see if the Sty one passes the ‘fair value’ test for associated partners. If they can blag that that is worth £10m a year one would think we could blag £20m at least.

Does this mean we have to sell Kourtney Hause .

Won't bring in enough, we might have to sell Chambers as well.

We're fucked then.

[pauliewalnuts]

Fucking hell, take a look at the brain surgeons on the (inevitable) SHA.com thread on this.

Imagine being that fucking obsessed. And stupid.

[VillaTim]

Is it before or after the Stern John thread . Fucking reptiles

Especially when their own team are now only just outside the Championship relegation zone by goal difference of one.

One of them got it right, "They are untouchable."

[Drummond]

Archer, Philogene, Ramsey A. All sold to help with compliance.

The statement says we're compliant. Let's hope we are, otherwise we'll be charged with more than just breaching the limits, won't we?

I'm wondering whether Purslow fucked it, which is why he went. As a result the owners, through Heck, are aiming to rinse every penny that they can.

The wages thing doesn't surprise me. Coutinho, Digne, Ings, Buendia etc were all on big deals.

The "authorities" then, responsible for the public transport omnishambles outside the stadium.

It's hardly in the authorities interest for Villa to try to move out of the area either. Seems like a bit of a game being played

Archer etc will be in next year’s accounts won’t they?

I’m curious on how we’re operating in line with the profit and sustainability rules, as the statement says, presumably there’s a fair chunk in the “allowable” deductions/adjustments? Either way though that level of loss is not sustainable.
