dounavilla Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Either Stan is plain lying or he is being fed reliable info. Could be Wyness himself for all we know? If what he says is true , we are in a whole heap of crud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy In Boots Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 So I guess this also means we’re stuck with Bruce because really we can’t afford to sack him as he’s on a contract. So finacial Armageddon and route 1 football that failed this year it is. I lost sleep the year before we got relegated I would lie awake worrying about it. Then when we went down I wasn’t half as bothered it was inevitable early on, I accepted it. It’s only a game I’m not going to get upset over it, I’d like to be Aston Villa FC rather than AFC Aston Villa. That’s all really whatever league were in. I really don’t give a **** about gloating fans of other clubs either, this sort of shit I’ve never wished on anybody but it does strengthen teams eventually. Just look at Leicester hopefully we get a proper system in place eventually 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If what he says is true , we are in a whole heap of crud. stan is doing what he always does, pools together a lot of info from various sources such as other journalists who have a decent but not full understanding of events, no doubt rings a couple of people that he knows to check a couple of things out...then shouts from the rooftop that he's mr aston villa and he knows exactly whats going on you will be able to count the number of people who actually know whats going on on one hand, and one of them is going to leak it to collymore knowing that he will broadcast it to anyone that will listen? the only person i can see doing that is wyness but after whats happened if it was wyness would you trust him not to be bitter and make it sound worse than it is?

I expect he might decide this isn't worth the hassle and just walk away. His stock in the game isn't bad, he'd be in the running for a job for a club that's not on the verge of being dissolved.

He will leave with his head held high and credibility intact - he will have no problems getting another job . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 If all this is anywhere close to the truth we are in deep shit. As has already been stated, this could eclipse what happened to most clubs in financial trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViewFromT2 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/exclusive-aston-villa-sell-land-14751409 Quote Exclusive: Aston Villa to sell land in latest cost-cutting measure Aston Villa are considering selling a plot of land close to Villa Park to deal with their ongoing financial problems. BirminghamLive understands that Brookvale - the staff parking site on the junction of Witton Road and Tame Road - will be put up for sale to raise funds for the struggling club. The facility is in a desirable location close to the stadium and could raise around £4.5million if sold with planning permission. Back in 2011 the site was approved for a housing project of up to 130 homes but was never sold. And in 2016 the derelict buildings that stood on the site were demolished allowing the car park to function more efficiently. It’s now understood that it will be sacrificed in the times ahead He's gonna sell everything isn't he? We won't be worth jack shit by the time he's finished! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the only points penalty now ? I know Luton had 30 points deducted and others have had more than 12 in the past - have the rules changed?
