Still Val's Fault Is It ?

Bournemouth and Southampton both broke the rules to gain promotion and settled for for small fines.
Derby, Southampton ,hadn't Bolton and Leicester built new grounds then went bump.
If villa hadn't beat us in the playoffs, they would have had a points deduction.

I wonder if we have a pile of financial s h I t to face up to in the next couple of years?

Maybe Lai will be like Norris - rack up millions of pounds in debt to send the club crashing - but like Norris put the stadium and academy in one of his other companies. It’s called ring fencing the main assets or another name - f uckin corrupt but legal

Players have reacted well unlike our spineless bunch. That said I hope at the very least Derby are relegated and the best - they go bust!!! No other company would be allowed to accrue such debt! The scum are indirectly taking money from the tax payers as all the HMRC debts will be written off!

Yeah its disgusting that clubs are allowed to do this, when the majority of us naively stick to the so called financial fair play rules.
Do those rules even still exist now ?.
Brighton did it some years ago as well, racking up debts of millions to buy their way into the Prem, and then all those debts were cleared straight away after promotion. 😬
Who is to blame though, the clubs who do it or the authorities who let them do it!.
