gilbertoAVFC Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 To be honest if we came back as AFC Aston Villa it would be quite fun to watch us win the league seven years in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) I don't know where he is getting his info from but Collymore just tweeted this: If this is anything close to being right then we are in deeper trouble than the likes of Leeds and Portsmouth were ever in.

ThunderPower_14 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Our first vaguely enjoyable season in almost a decade and it ends with a 1-0 playoff final defeat and then possibly the entire club being dissolved. We just don't deserve this as fans at all. It's just been false dawns followed by soul crushing reality year in year out since O'Neill left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea who the true villan is, Xia or Wyness or both....seems pretty clear though that our only way out of this is new ownership, and fast! Can see us going into administration, most likely forced by the banks, before our saviour steps forward with his massive briefcase full of cash!

Most likley someone will buy the club for not very much - consolidate the debts into a monthly repayment. and we limp on from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it will be administration in the worst case with a 12 point deduction and probably a firesale of players. OR as hippo has above, someone buys us for below market value and inherits the debt.

hippo Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 I am no finance expert - but I don't see a way forward. Only Xia was interested @ £60m when we had parachute payments to come. So now we need someone to service £70-100m debt with no parachute payments. Were finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 So basically we either have a buyer come in and take the club off of Xia's hands for effectively nothing, putting every dollar that might have been used to buy the club towards the debt, or we fold? Can the club do some tin rattling just to survive? I'm sure there are enough Villa fans worldwide who would chip in a small amount to clear the debt and save the club so it could be taken forward by another owner.
