villabromsgrove Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 CEO's do not forget to pay tax. It's the one bill that you cannot get away without paying. I'm speculating and I should know better, but was the play off final (£180 million) actually shit or bust time for Dr T? I'm hoping like hell that isn't the case, but Dr T needs to come out and explain to us tonight "what the hell is going on". He might own AVFC, but it's our Villa and always will be!

Yeah, I'm just saying it's not down to people 'not noticing' Wyness hasn't paid the bills. We have a Finance Director. We've for some reason taken the decision not to pay on time. And the only reason I can think of is that we're **** skint. I just can't figure out why Wyness has been suspended. Something dodgy is going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richp999 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 It's all a bit dodgy.. First we need to sell futures in two players for cash flow.. Basically to pay the wages for the month.. Then we cant pay a tax bill.. Someone hasn't got the money have they? In my job ; the first time you know a company is in trouble is when the they can't pay the fuel bill. That's the first sign and there's only 1 way it's going after that. I don't think the club could tell the tax man they can't pay because of ffp! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richp999 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) On the plus side, if the tax man winds the club up, can the official fan club buy it for a pound? Edited June 5, 2018 by richp999 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 12 minutes ago, wilko154 said: I don't really understand why everyone is once again jumping on the Xia has no money bandwagon. Wyness hasn't paid the tax, he's been suspended. Xia isn't going to suspend the bloke after not making the funds available to him. FFP is restricting Xia from spending any money, it's not that he hasn't got it. The Amavi & Sanchez deals were pushed through last season to deal with FFP, it's a gamble that we were going to go up and the cash would iron out last seasons FFP problems. Granted that hasn't worked out but it's still all a part of the 3 year FFP pot. Some people need to chill out, it's been less than a week, give Xia some time to sort things out and release a proper statement. Not buying it, all looks very dodgy to me.

Jareth Posted June 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2018 It's cash flow pure and simple, so we need cash, where do we get it? Tony is either back in China trying to call in a few favours or he'll have to sell up. Grealish sale will be on hold until this is resolved either way - any new buyer will want him, or £30 mill off the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Yeah...How can you 'forget' when every club pays them week in week out for years and years without ever 'forgetting'. Is a bit dodgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 well, one things for certain here and that is that one person is going to lose his reputation to the world as a businessman with integrity...

leighavfc Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Well this is worrying!! Been plenty of rumours about Tone not having the dow, you dont just forget to pay a HMRC bill!!! The Amavi and Sanchez thing is strange also, you wouldnt do that for any other reason than not having the money for something. It is fairly common in small businesses, but for a club the size of Villa with a supposed million/billionaire? It dont sound or sit right with me. Tones gonna have to release a proper statement this time and not just "his thoughts while relatively calm". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted June 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2018 If this is as bad as it sounds, losing Grealish will be the least of our worries. He's also our only saleable asset player-wise. This summer is going to be brutal I think I'm going to shut myself off from this and hope it all blows over after the World Cup.

Jareth Posted June 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2018 Fact that money has been found when pressure applied shows that money is there, just there's an incredibly tight grip on the purse strings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
