There is probably some really top end finance guy sitting somewhere looking over papers and chuckling to himself about the state of affairs of the club and how much money is being piddled away or being left unrealised. This is a good find. Looks like it was dug up by the new boys team. Shows they are on the ball hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news guys are always on the ball. Until they get bought out and the new new guys come in and show them for the Charlatans they were. Samiris's financial experts will be claiming the team is too unfit tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this is good or bad. It could be that they have identified some great revenue opportunities from the owned buildings and land which is connected to all these charges being put in order, but I worry it could be stuff like selling Villa Park and renting it back or some such thing. That always goes wrong when the ground is bought by the owner, they tend to bugger off and charge huge rents eventually leaving the club homeless. That sparks alarm bells for me and I will be watching this space very carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all the charges are just old ones that have had some housekeeping done. I don't get buying the ground, as surely they already own that? (between them all that is) We have some under developed land and perhaps the new guys want to press ahead with the north Stand for instance? I see nothing so far to think anything sketchy is happening or that it will. I'll be keeping an eye om things, but more out of interest to see what they are planning vs having worries.

The limited company own it. Sell it to a other company (at arms length from the directors) for £20m, £20m is in the clubs P&L, then the owner usually charges peppercorn rent until everyone falls into then the true owner who has now left the club is revealed, puts the rent up massively and eventually forces the club to leave. This is pretty much what happened to Coventry at The Richo and happened at Moseley Rugby Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McParland’s Boots Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Not sure I understand any of this financial malarkey, tbh. Who is paying off theses mortgages? If it’s Recon or Aston Villa, then whose money are they using, as I though we hadn’t got any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I propose 'villa quarry' to reopen, charging £1000 a ton for aggregate. The completely unrelated 'villa cement' buy it to build a 3 foot thick 1 Sq mile slab of concrete in the Egyptian desert.

Come in lads let's get on it Don't forget that you will need to utilise the services of "HolteEnd Transportation and Shipping Company Ltd" (also completely unrelated) to get it there, and the also unrelated "Witton Lane Management Inc" to project manage the whole thing. They do charge £3000 per day per Project Manager and you would need at least 17 of them, but they are absolutely worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only2McInallys Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Apparently our owners combined wealth is third highest in the country. Does that include the 1-2 billion that Xia is worth. Edited July 23, 2018 by Londonastonvilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
