moose Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 With the FFP rules coming in, if we were going to spend £80m then we'd have to find £80m of income, not investment. Not sure how we'd manage that aside from the usual dodgy stuff like stadium naming rights or an owner effectively sponsoring himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 1, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2012 Please. No more fecking Twitter. You pair are like the new Statler & Waldorf (After Richard's conversion) regarding the modern way people find out what's going on. GET WITH IT!!! "Find out what's going on?" Do me a favour. The chances of picking out the odd infinitesimal fragment of truth out of the babbling mass of delusional hot air that is the twattosphere are hardly worth considering. You may as well listen to random blokes in supermarket queues. Oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchard Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 If I wanted updates from Twitter, I'd look at my fecking timeline. On Twitter. That I follow myself. Or perhaps I should start pasting the latest updates from H&V or Vital Villa on here? Twitter isn't even ITK anymore now Dave Whelan is about.

wedge Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Most of today's papers seem to think Lambert (if it all goes through) will be given £20-25 million for players this summer plus any funds he raises by selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The FFP will only come into play for Euro competitions! Yes, and wouldn't a new owner throwing money at the club expect us to be in such competitions? OK I guess you might just find someone who's happy "just to win the league" and can't give two hoots if we are banned from European tournaments, but that would be highly unusual.

dudevillaisnice Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Chelsea don't care about FFP it seems.. I doubt City will either. Will they ban these two clubs (and potentially others)? I don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I don't think we'll get into Europe next season, but maybe season after. I still think we will tread carefully, but Villa income will increase, with sponsorship of Genting, Macron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 My take on the £20-25m is that amount is how much a manager is allowed to commit, not necesarily on transfer fees but if they sign someone for £1m but put them on a 4 year contract at £1m a year, then that's £5m out of the pot, not £1m. I get the feeling some people are expecting us to spend the entire pot on transfer fees. Then again, my thinking might be wrong (I still look at the £68m on Villa's balance sheet that's going to hit our expenditure over the next few years).

NorthEastVillan Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Not expecting miracles from the lad but with a decent transfer budget (£20m plus sales) he could get us back to at least a top 10 finish. Needs to offload the alleged troublemakers and passangers. If he can keep Given, Bent, Ireland and Nzog and build his team around them I can see some exciting times ahead. Can we have one link about the "troublemakers", please. What happend? :| here and here probably more but can't be arsed to search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't either, Man City effectively sponsoring themselves has found a loophole. Whats stopping the owner giving a gift, its such a shoddy rule it's untrue.

SikhInTrinity Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 So that means 20-25million there the rest to wheel and deal. PL would not have joined under the remit of you have a minimum funds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
