I did a quick google search, the only reports back on the significant signing on fee was someone called Sillhillvilla on Vital Football. Whoever they were they just wouldn't let it go and just kept on mentioning it. Not sure if they post on here but the fact they used to start a reply in lowercase and then rarely put a punctuation mark at the end just marks them out as extremely stupid. Especially when most people on there kept on pointing out that the fee discussions had no confirmations, but the poster just kept on going on and on as if it was a fact.

That was the other user name of the colossal idiot Coopers Injury. Glad they don't post on here anymore...

Cant see how we paid a million pounds a week more in wages there.

Hopefully those figures are wide of the mark as they are fairly disastrous looking on an Enron like scale

I'm not an Arthur Andersen alumnus, but I'd still be interested in hearing why you think Villa's financial situation might be comparable to the Enron scandal.

Kamara and agent landed a significant sign on fee if the stories are true.

Which stories?

At the time of signing there was plenty of speculation of an above normal signing on fee being paid .

So None.

Thanks for this.

You really are Barry Bullshit.

There was a guy on here just like you until recently.

Ooh Touched a Nerve there. Still Zero Evidence forthcoming. Zero.

Does anyone remember Sillhillvilla - I’d wager this fella is he? Had an almost exact response once from him.

Anyone else?

For now 

Are you denying it?

Or coincidentally another zero evidence merchant?

Does anyone really care.

On page 29 it says our wage to revenue ratio is 92% but on page 31 it says 71%.

Could be total wages v playing wages.

Good analysis; thank you. Yes, it does seem strange.

[VillaTim]

Coutinho Carlos Kamara will all be on big salaries .

Doesn't add up.

Turnover in 22/23 was £215 according to Deloitte. At 92% wages to turnover that would be £198m and at 71% it would be £153m. Our last reported wage bill in accounts was 21/22 and was at £137m. There wouldn't be a jump of £61m in the space of a year. I think they've got their figures wrong. Also there's no way we are paying non playing staff £45m per year.

[aj2k77]

Coutinho Carlos Kamara will all be on big salaries .

I'd hazard a guess of a combined £500k per week. Nowhere near the million and then you can deduct the salaries of the players we sold. There's no way the wage bill jumped nearly 50% in a year.

Something looks amiss. I guess we'll find out soon enough when the accounts are officially published.
