What we did do is spend money where it wasn't needed. Did we need Rhodes a week after signing Winnall for example ?  As for the ground... It gets us out of a pickle short term, long term who knows what effect it could have Agreed they are two of the worst signings in our history, can't see Bruce making that sort of mistake.

iansheff   84 #35 Posted July 3, 2019 Apparently the Premier League are looking into Villas selling of their ground, the EFL signed off their accounts but the PL are less satisfied.  https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-stadium-sale-investigation-3045198 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Grappler   12 #36 Posted July 13, 2019 Mr. Chancer would be better off getting proper advisers if he is going to try and pull a stunt like this.  So many holes in what he has done, if laymen and journalists can spot the errors, then real accountants and finance experts will have a field day.  Cookery Books - Delia Smith (Norwich)  Cooking the Books - Mr. Chancer (SWFC)   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
