Were there no questions asked when they signed John Terry to play in the championship on silly money?
Losing about 5m a month that their owner needed to fund to keep them going and there were no alarm bells?

They are still getting a £15m parachute payment as well.
It shows what a toothless joke FFP is, they've been bankrolled at £5m a month for nearly 2 years. I don't have much sympathy for them, football won't learn any lessons while the PL is in its TV money bubble.
Exactly, it's another case of an owner pumping some money in and then getting bored. It's like Leyton Orient but on a bigger scale, he was paying players 5 figures and the gamble didn't work.
Ross McCormack was also apparently on £45k a WEEK. It's madness.
80k I heardwhat was John Terry on?
80k I heard
I can see it from the owners perspective. Give me a few million a month and we will be in the untold riches of the premier league but the CEO should be saying hang on there is a chance we might not make it. Lets not fuck ourselves for just this season.
That bloke called Martin?And they need to change that stupid name of theirs.
Who in their right minds would call themselves Aston?
Martin Aston? Never heard of him.That bloke called Martin?

Sounds like they were that cocky it wasn't an option to be in the Championship next season.
Now the owner doesn't want to fund it for another year so it will need to be a firesale of players and balance the books.

No it's not. The owner wants to pump more money in but he can't because of currency movement restrictions imposed by the Chinese government last year. That's also had a major impact on property prices where I live because 70% of buyers were coming from China until recently.
Surely he would find a way around it? He will have to bring some of his business over to the UK or something.
No it's impossible. My wife is Chinese and her brother is a top executive over there. There is no way of taking large sums of cash out of that country. I have property in China and I can't sell up and move the cash here for the same reason.
JT was on 60k per week apparentlyWere there no questions asked when they signed John Terry to play in the championship on silly money?

Paying players like Micah Richards £35k a week, what was John Terry on?
I stand corrected
What happens if people are importing and buying things abroad?
Exports/imports of products are unaffected. It's transfers of financial assets (cash, financial instruments, gold etc) that are affected. There are cleverer people than me who have tried to figure out a way round the embargo. In fact we were taking cash out of China (illegally) up to one year ago which is when they had the clamp down. My brother in law managed to move a load of cash just before that happened and he used the cash to buy a condo in Portugal. Now all the remaining cash is locked up in China.
It just needs a chinese sunday league team to buy a villa player for £100m
I just ordered a Funko Pocket Pop Eleven from China. Are you telling me it's now not going to come?No it's impossible. My wife is Chinese and her brother is a top executive over there.

The Chinese government is not daft (unlike ours). They are wise to that sort of thing. The Chinese are the olympic champions when it comes to dreaming up imaginative fraud schemes.

Aston Villa: Wes Edens & Nassef Sawiris to make 'significant investment' in club
It's called payback to the many Vile fans I know who revelled in every misfortune of CCFC & 'Lorded' it over me on the back of their history when when we won in '87.What is the origin of all this hate for Aston Villa? I'd root for a MIdlands team any day over a team from London.
Aston Villa have a historical record to be very proud of.
Quote from Wikipedia:
"Aston Villa are one of only five English clubs to have won the European Cup, in 1981–82. They have also won the Football League First Division seven times, the FA Cup seven times, the League Cup five times, and the UEFA Super Cup once."
Some of the 'older' city will know but i remember the hatred in the late 70's.......Supporting the villa was just a no no..It's called payback to the many Vile fans I know who revelled in every misfortune of CCFC & 'Lorded' it over me on the back of their history when when we won in '87.
Wouldn't like them to go under...but a good dose of humiliation right back at them I have no problem with whatsoever
