In net spend terms in 22/23 we lost £50m but we did bring in £20m for Chukwuemeka which was pure FFP profit and must have covered a few of our signings year one FFP. So if there was an issue it must surely have been around wages, I don't even want to know how much we were paying Coutinho, Ings etc. But we were also offering a huge deal to Chukwuemeka too so can't have been that concerned?

If Purslow had accidentally driven us into a financial abyss you'd think he'd be in hiding rather than sitting with the away fans at games.

It doesn't make sense to me however things have been going so well I am fully expecting it to happen.

The bloke gave fifty grand to the Tory party. I doubt shame takes up any space in his emotional palette.

Sawiris gave them £200K.

Would you like to take a guess how I feel about that/him?!

Seems like Ramsey won’t be included in the fire sale that David Ornstein said is definitely happening before the end of June or we’ll get points deducted.

“I am not thinking about letting him [Jacob Ramsey] leave, even in the case some teams are offering us a lot. Right now I don't want that - I completely don't want that. I want to work with him and try and help him increase his level because I am selfish and I want him at his best for me.” UE.

Jacob is worth more than 6 points to us in a season.

With regards to the stopping of the re-development, maybe the club could not afford to have 10,000 less fans in the ground for each home game for the next 2-3 seasons?

It would be 6k and if that is the reason there is never a time we can do it?
Yes it would be 6 but because we have to accommodate 30000 STs in 34000 seats assuming 2000 for aways we lose revenue at the top end of seat selling price.

The transfer window doesn’t open until July does it? Also if a “fire sale” is required begs the question what have we been doing?

I’m not predicting that here. It’s more a comment on how some posters were absolutely convinced that David Ornstein’s siren voice back in January was entirely credible.

Not sure if siren voice is applicable in his case, he sounds like a heavily stoned Prince William when he talks.

Also, and I hope this doesn’t come to pass, I rate JJ and think he’s great (completely proved me wrong in my initial view on him) but if push came to shove I count 6 (off the top of my head) players I’d rather keep. That’s also considering likely value, benefit in terms of P&S as well. Hope it doesn’t come to that of course!

Quite frankly I can feel myself less invested in this sort of thing than I normally would be as another month of the Heck regime rolls around.

The club feels it can dismiss fans and ride roughshod over people who have given decades of support then it is a two way street.

Are you mad? He's the last player I'd sell!

Nope just my opinion, but if I combine the P&S benefit and his relative importance to the team there are others I’d rather lose less. Just to be clear I hope we keep him, I think he’s got great potential.

Would be unlike The Athletic not to be spot on.

Honestly, I think there was a lot of interpreting of what Ornstein said. All he said was that clubs are under more FFP pressure than before, and that other teams were interested in Ramsey. I don't know how either of these facts add up to 'ORNSTEIN PREDICTS VILLA FIRE SALE', or 'NEWCASTLE IN RAMSEY SWOOP' or whatever.

We will soon now if we are struggling with FFP,  if we have to let 1 or 2 of our stars leave before the end of the June

Hopefully all is good, and in the summer we can add a couple of players to improve the team.
