MaVilla Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Is this guy a desperate tool or something? He moans left right and centre for someone to investigate villa under FFP. Now he put forward a motion to the championship teams which if accepted would allow other accountants to review any teams finances ?, it was voted down apparently. This guy seems like a bit of a bunny boiler version of a chairman, and comes across like a desperado because his own team failed playing pulis ball to get promoted?

Zatman Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Dont see the issue, he is just looking at best interest of his club. Sure Villa fans weren't complaining when we asked to Investigate Wolves last season 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted April 24, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 24, 2019 Everyone is trying their luck, trying to work out what’s allowed and what isn’t. You can bet if clubs knew you could have shares in a particular sports agency, a few more would have looked into it, the Leeds bloke basically said as much. No doubt Gibson will have looked at things today and wondered whether it’s viable to sell Boro’s stadium to themselves or whatever it is that Derby have done. The whole thing is a shitshow frankly, the better the whole lot is thrown in the bin*, the better in my opinion. *or reworked and clearly defined and implemented, but if not, see the bin option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I saw as him making excuses and not much more, they have no money, he doesn't want to spend to the tune that a promotion will cost, makes a song and dance about it being unfair what everyone else is doing Needs to go away and have a look at his own club, bin off pulis and get a progressive manager, change their youth set up and start bringing some gems through (for some reason I thought boro built a state of the art facility just before we did) Interestingly from what I've seen not many boro fans on Twitter agree with him, their blame seems to lie with pulis, colour me gobsmacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest he might have a point He does though have a terrible blindspot for managers. Robson, McLaren, Southgate, Monk, Strachan, Mowbray i think at one stage and now Pulis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 24, 2019 Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2019 Boro made a loss of £31.9m in the year they went up.. They made a profit of nearly £7m in the Premier League. They made a loss of £6.4m in their first year back in the Championship. So up until the start of this season they'd lost over £30m in three years. They'll lose the year with the big losses for the current period of reckoning - but they're not that far away from being in the same trouble as everyone else. I would imagine he'll be less keen to raise this in two years time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Must of felt a right tit walking out his own meeting with no backers. What a plonker. Then again, anyone who hires Pulis cant be taken seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll be fine, miles inside the limits, but if they stay down they’ll eventually be faced with the same issue everyone has of how to go up again, stay within the rules and compete with much richer, just relegated clubs.
