Either they're not there or some massive financial negligence has taken place on Wyness' behalf, such as stealing money from the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Just read a mirror story that we took a cut in the amavi and Sanchez money in exchange for an immediate payment to help with cash flow problems in February . ‘Seems xia is not what we hoped for . Meanwhile, it has emerged that back in February, Villa cashed in future transfer revenue due on Jordan Amavi from Marseille and Carlos Sanchez from Fiorentina in exchange for immediate money to help their cash flow. In a document on Companies House dated February 2, 48 hours after the transfer window shut, the club sold on future income due on Amavi and Sanchez to the Australian Macquarie bank. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/aston-villa-put-alan-hutton-12648187 Edited June 5, 2018 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 If HMRC are demanding money surely you pay it, how can FFP dictate whether you pay your taxes to the government or not, or can they? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The funny thing is, this isn't too much of a surprise. When Xia initially took over some of us had misgivings over his actual net worth and the viability of Recon. Some of us also pointed out that Samuelson and Wyness were highly suspect characters who ideally wouldn't be involved with this great club at any stage at all whatsoever. Shit appears to be hitting the fan. Xia has come in with a dangerous short run strategy that has absolutely exploded on us. It's going to get very ugly. I fully expect years of championship mediocrity and potentially worse. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got a top manager, a super agent and good players. We got Steve Bruce, and a few cloggers. They also got promoted.... duh. Hence HUGE windfall, you dont know what their situation might have been had they not. Edited June 5, 2018 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have just got away with it, cruising on the summer transfers. Prem money will act as fine masking! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
