In your opinion, would the utilisation of player sales as a sort of stop-gap until any sale is finalised be more or less likely to include Grealish. His value makes him a very significant asset to the Company and would impact on any takeover would it not? Thoughts? I don't KNOW but I'd suggest if someone comes in with a sizeable offer than Xia would consider it. IF we are in talks to sell as I think, then it will help in us being able to hold our own for value and not have to sell for peanuts. All good if true. We may have to accept that Jack may go, I mean it would be wonderful if any new owner was able to say "I don't want him sold" but with debts and ffp, god knows.

eholm Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Makes sense, mate. I'd forgotten about FFP tbh!! Hopefully some more details to come over the next 24/48 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure, in my view, MOSt buyers would probably want him to stay as a main part of their purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes the ideal scenario would be that, but at the moment he is at the peak of his value in that he is potentially worth the difference of survival or not as a club. If were to be bought, we still have to comply with ffp and new owners have to work towards current figures. Things are that dire he may just have no choice to sell is all I'm saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I wonder if it’s possible that when Wyness said we had contingency plans for staying down, if he meant something less drastic than firesale, panic, administration, and more panic. Maybe much of this is just hysterical paper talk or maybe even designed to lower our value which helps other clubs and whoever is hoping to buy us. Just another baseless hypothesis, I know.

eholm Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I guess we will never truly know the ins and outs of the Wyness sacking and probably the level of financial mismanagement that has taken place. It is vital now that any new owner runs us as a sustainable business (including FFP) to ensure our long term future, however painful any such strategy will be.

That confirms my views on Xia sadly. One good thing though is Xia is crapping it and that means he wants the spotlight off him fast, so selling Villa suits him for many reasons!!

Assuming he keeps improving......that's what I meant. Think you may need to accept that part of the 'back to safety' strategy is selling the two main assets. Jack and Chester. I'm not at all happy about it, but far better than a winding up order and no more Villa. So unless any sale can save those two, they're off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
