xLiaaamx Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Sorry if people like him or whatever, I just can't get on with the whole hoying a few spreadsheets of dubious figures onto twitter and then acting like he's cracked the inner workings of the club from it like he often does. Obviously the club's shite, I agree with that. Just don't his whole shtick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have thought many other clubs who get relegated would have the luxury of being able to sell almost £100m worth of players and then go on to play in front of 52000 sell out crowds all season. I'm surprised that he had to loan the club a further £30m to cover costs for half a season on top of that. Not sure how Villa have survived 2 years in the Championship with similar costs and far lower revenue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't ring true to me. We were supposed to cash rich after making large profits in the previous years leading up to relegation so where did all that money disappear to?

That was very much the exception to the rule if you look at the past Decade. I don't think there's many clubs with a smaller net spend than us over that period. Works out at £4m per season or thereabouts and well less the the clubs around us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The club made the point in the forum that the transfer fees reported in the media were 'often inaccurate' btw. Whether that's just them covering things up (likely, given their history) or means that where we all think the net spend should be is wrong, remains to be seen.

Bimpy474 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Personally i think it's best if we just assume everything they say is bullshit, 99.9% of the time that tends to be rather accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Major issue I have is the whole visibility on the timing of cash flow injections from the PL prize money, TV money, sponsorships etc. and how on earth they are unable to speculate or use any sort of line of credit or loan (even from MA with interest) to actually spend money that will eventually be paid to the club. Sadly there isn’t a desire to run the club like a proper football business nor does there seem to be any proper business folks working for the club who can use their brains to maximize the club’s value whilst still being prudent and within their means (if that’s what they fucking care about so much) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
