Unless you know something for certain that we don't then I will wait until I see the squad after the window shuts. The quality is so poor in the Championship. If that Derby side can make the play offs then so could we even with a few losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cardiff got autos last season thanks to Neil Warnock then there's a chance for anybody to do it. 3 minutes ago, troon_villan said: Unless you know something for certain that we don't then I will wait until I see the squad after the window shuts.

I hope you guys are right, but honestly I think you're kidding yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranavfc Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Despite what's going on we're still 5th favourites to go up atm, only Boro from last season's sides are more fancied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately this means absolutely nothing. Let's see what the odds are like when we've sold half the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hi guys If we have to sell Jack Grealish (and I am assuming that he would rather stay and play for "his" club), against his wishes, in order for Aston Villa to survive, then I propose that there should be a statue of him outside the Holte End to honour that fact....

stewiek2 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Under normal circumstances I'd be okay him going at the right price if it was invested into the team. I remember being gutted when we sold Platt but boy what a team his money built. However we all know that any sale will go towards debt, and we have Bruce rather than Big Ron doing the wheeling and dealing. And the eye gauging brand of football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keener window-cleaner Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 So if we are making a loss of £5M a month, and we sell Grealish for £30M, it means it would simply keep us afloat six more months, until december, and then the problem is back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhh. For the 10,000th time, the £5m per month losses are a) only press talk and b) will be reduced as we get our house in order with the already massively reduced wages like Gabby, Snodgrass, Grabban, Johnstone and Terry going plus whoever else we shift out. The aim is to make us profit making as soon as possible. Edited June 12, 2018 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is currently a press embargo on any article that contains a loss to Villa of minus £4.5 million, it must be over that figure to be reported. You should see what we owe for 2019-2020 - staggering. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We almost certainly wouldn't even see half of that on the deal being finalised. So in cash flow terms, more like 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 So there is gossip that Chelsea are interested in signing Jack for £30m and loan him back to us for the upcoming season. I wouldn't take this serious but for where we are it probably wouldn't be the worst possible outcome. Better for him as well being loaned to us rather than Vitesse Arnhem... Terry working as the middle man? Anyway just putting it out there, most likely bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true (and that's a massive IF) then we ought to snap their hands off. Although it seems a bit too good to be true because it not only goes a long way to sorting out our financial mess we also get to keep hold of Jack for the year, minimising the disruption to our playing squad allowing us to probably keep the players that we would need to were our financial issues non-existent, and thus giving us a massive chance of getting up next season. But like you say, when something's too good to be true it's normally because it's BS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from us some how being able to afford to keep him that would be probably he the best scenario possible all round. Almost sounds too good to be true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
