Summer of 2018 fiasco thread...place all posts here that involve the AVFC situation

[TrianonDave]

and ignore any post from obsessed dingles, noses or guys from Tesco!

So,
We failed to go up.....would this crazy financial mess have happened anyway?
With no prem Sky money till the end of 2019 season would we have been in even more debt as...
It would appear, Xia has Loans coming out of his ears!
Just what was Wyness trying to do? deliberately expose him or self greed?
What now for Steve Bruce and the players?
Wages, Contracts...are they all on hold?
Gabby returning surely is a rumour started by the dark side not Bongo?
How much debt are we in?
Ignore transfer fees, its normal to owe money, it took 3 years for Pool to pay for Benteke!

Now here's the big question, should we the fans act? Should we protest to get Xia to come clean?
Should we put pressure on him to Sell up
Will he respond in person and not by a stupid cryptic tweet?

Is there any way we can keep JacK?
Has Xia actually got any money?
Why is he borrowing off British banks
Why is China holding his Money
Why are WBA and Wolves not suffering the same fate or is this come?

have we all just been had?

Has Lerner fooled us all

Just who is this latest guy Freund?

Would anyone buy us

Do they carry the debt or is this Xia's debt

Will we start the season in the championship?

Is it all just news paper gossip gone mad

is Xia an honest guy cought up is some Chinese red tape

Will he stay

Do we want him to stay

What has he actually done

Did he keep us away from asking questions with false flags like rebuilding the stadium

What happens to this idea now

3 owners on the trot have redesigned the North stand only for it to fade away.....

Any positive news

Any more bad news?

Under this mess, does anyone care the world cup is about to start?

[westcountryvillain]

Lots of questions there TD!

Personally - it's a big reality check for the club and football in this country, we're not what we were and I'd imagine a lot of owners have now sat up & started looking at the finances a lot more closely than they might have been doing. If Xia can't find a way to release his capital then will other revenue generation be enough to get us back into the PL? Recent history suggests it's very possible with the number of smaller clubs that have won promotion, I expect us to be sold and that conversations are already being had with potential investors.

[TrianonDave]

Yes i think the writing is on the wall unless Xia pulls a rather large rabbit out the Hat.
If we are sold, I would prefer A local consortium with backers who can splash a bit of cash. Reality check, well i think the last few villa fans in denial yes, its time and for the rest of us, well we just want our club to survive. Visions of granduer have definately gone now. Still come August we will be there hoping and praying as usual...
All quiet tonight in the papers, seems they are a little disapointed we have paid the tax bill. Would be nice now if we got news of Bill Gates taking over on Monday. I can dream...

A lot of questions there TD and all of them good. Unfortunately only a few could hazard a guess at the answers and they’re nor saying.

Personally these amounts of money leave me cold, way out of my comprehension. Dr X has been pumping 4M into the club every month? I mean, who would own a football club other than the seriously mega rich or the completely deluded? I hope Dr X is the former but I have my doubts.

As we stand now, I’d just be happy to have a team next season. The fact that it might challenge at the top end of the table would be a bonus.

Board meeting tomorrow not at VP but some s****y hotel in London. Xia will not be there only by conference call.
I would hazard a guess Wyness will be sacked and a calming message about finances whike for all we know they could be talking quick fire sale....

[samhubball]

Sutton town and Romulus both got relegated too.


Midlands football is ****e

London? Are there no meeting rooms at VP or BMH?!

[TrianonDave]

Exactly, distancing themselves already. You know i think things will get worse before they get better? I think Xia will sell up, Bruce will move on and we will get Neil Warnock as Manager???

I hope you're right TB, in every respect other than the better bit.

[TrianonDave]

TB?????
You just cant help yourself can you . Please leave this dissussion for villa fans or I will deem you a villa fan and name change to VillaBlood ... .

[TrianonDave]

Wyness has left the club and is suing Xia for constructive dismissal and could cost 6 million. OMG!

[westcountryvillain]

Can't see how he can claim constructive dismissal, he's culpable in mismanaging the club's finances and would have a hard time proving otherwise - likely outcome is a settlement to go away & STFU. There's also the small matter of no money at the club so any damages award is likely to be well below his expectations, but then again WTF do I know!

£6m eh - that's a lot of season tickets, think about that for a minute villans - put's Wyness on the Steve Hodge/Tom Fox/Lerner bus.

[TrianonDave]

Hes on £375k a year how on earth dies that equate to 6million? Dud he sign a 15 year contract? The most he shiuld get us 2 years if a 4 year contract £759k max!

I was viwing *****villa forum and someone has calculated after all the players signed there salary v players sold and saving on salary we are a maximum 25 million in debr but hold on, we still owe 3o mill in transfer fees so you have to taje that off the calculation for now meaning we are 5 million in profit on transfers. With all the sky money and parachute payments gate recipts merchandise..you have to ask why are we in debt. Fyrther to this we have already dold 3 players gollini. Gill and amavi bringing nearly 10 million, gate recipts from wembley if 5 million. Who us fleecing the club? Dios it actually look like Xia has git any money ir even put any in? Is the figure of 79 million in debt not reflect the fee Xia paid for the club, dud he put this xebt on the club, dud he not underwrite the clubs debts?
Sounds like with all his loans, he is a charleten a cheat and a Liar......

[TrianonDave]

Sorry for the bad spelling. This phone.....omg!
Makes me sound like the police man of Allo Allo..... but you get the drift

[westcountryvillain]

Does anyone know when the club publishes it's annual trading statement, think it's around this time of year?
