So a new owner has to invest cash 'In a certain way' ? You misunderstand what i posted. By introducing funds into the club the way Xia has done it does not relieve the "debt" to FFP. Indeed as you say it will increase the losses. Howver the new owner can invest in a "FFP positive" way if he proves that the the invested money is non-retunable. This rule applies to all leagues not just when Euro competitions are involved Edited July 20, 2018 by pintpotvilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to say it sounds dodgy when we know absolutely nothing about who they are.

John Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 This sounds almost too good to be true (let's hope it's not). If it happens, I'm sure we'll all be doing the sand dance around Villa Park like Wilson Keppel & Betty (one for the youngsters there). 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anew owner would be in the position to do that ( as long as he has the wherewithall of course). Xia's only course was to borrow against property or future assets which is NOT allowed by FFP Erm...I'd say it was more to do with him having no cash to put into the club!

villabromsgrove Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Egypt is a middle eastern culture with a population of almost exactly 100,000,000 people. The number one sport is football and has been for the last century, so I'm not surprised to hear of Egyptian interest in an historic club like Aston Villa. If the bidder has sufficient proven funds I'd welcome a deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite correct but you are right that there is a big difference between debt ( which most clubs have and can be managed) & FFP rules which concentrate on the on going situation and making sure bills/players are paid.

pintpotvilla Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thank goodness the EFL will vet our new owners to make sure that they are fit & proper owners. Imagine what could happen if they weren't there!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
