Villa are confident of paying this month’s pay-roll and tax bill on time, as it emerged talks were held this week with the Football League over their future plans. Shaun Harvey, the EFL’s chief executive, has met with Villa officials and is understood to have received assurances that Xia is working hard to source outside investment and meet the club’s financial obligations. Xia has been struggling with cash-flow issues in China and was late making a payment to HMRC in May, but has since provided the money to keep the club running for at least another month. It is understood the first round of June’s payments are due on Friday. Though Villa’s problems are far from over, it suggests Xia remains determined to solve their financial worries and avert the nightmare scenario of administration. Month by month is a worry though! All a bit payday loans and cash converters at the mo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post terrytini Posted June 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2018 Well @Jareth....whilst I share your view that one or two people may have over reacted - at this stage - ( although to my mind you have under reacted ) I have absolutely no idea how you view that article as “ nothing to see”..... £5m “ assured” is a tiny drop in the ocean. ” Confident of paying this months wages and tax “..... well whopper dooo ! A month guaranteed ..... ” working hard to source outside investment”......pretty much confirms the worst fears of many in that (a) he hasn’t got it himself and (b) hasn’t got any yet “ money to keep the club running at least another month” .......you are comforted by that ? “ Yes Sir you are cured, these tablets will keep you alive until the end of June “ ..... ? ” problems are far from over “ speaks for itself And we are “ hoping to avert Administration “. Blimey......you call that nothing to see ? 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF I've been concerned as much as anyone, but waiting for info. John Percy's report says crisis delayed - but that's if we're all certain there was a crisis in the first place.

I can’t argue with the idea of waiting for real, factual info. But on the other hand I can’t argue with those that think it might never come and dig stuff up or hypothesise themselves either. Inagree each to their own, but I’m afraid for me that report - if it’s based on anything material - actually confirms one of the poorer scenarios. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to see at all. Just the owners original claims of wealth looking not to be true and us seeking ways to pay the bill each month.

Well it certainly could be, and no doubt it will be alledged that the £5mill is borrowed. However, we've gone from administration NEXT WEEK, oh no, by the END OF JUNE, to oh, BY THE END OF JULY. And all the while, every bill has been met, every financial obligation met, the EFL content finances are being properly managed.

Agree. With the best will in the world, whilst the degrees of problem may be anywhere on a scale, all is clearly not well. He can’t come out and say that. But if he spoke and didn’t say that he’d be hammered ( and probably have to lie). Or whatever he said would be meaningless. We don’t need him to speak, we need to hope he is acting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know every bill has been met ? That sounds as much guesswork as suggesting they haven’t. And I have to say, whilst the word “ Administration” features in discussions about our finances and future, the fact that the month mentioned changes doesn’t do much for me ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few creditors would have an interest in publicising such problems. I’m not sure the opinion that unpaid bills would be in the media is sufficient to back up your reassurance that “ every bill has been paid” ! Every bill might have been paid, but might not. There could be awful gremlins waiting ahead....it’s happened to a million businesses before. Or it might all be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are clearly going to win the FA Cup this season, qualifying for the Europa League, next season we will win that and then 5 years into Xia's plan we are playing Champions League football. The Premier League route is so old now... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
