No complaints from anywhere or anyone that we've had to sell Luiz on the cheap. It's ok to be taken advantage of but to achieve market value to balance the books, we must be breaking the rules! It seems that the media and other fans seem to think we should just lie down and take the punishment!

Fascinating and informative podcast - what a great guest Dave is - well done gents! 🙂👍👏

[@johnathanford2222]

Villa are cash rich but income poor. With no debt and wealthy shareholders they are very solvent (unlike some other clubs) however PSR is an accounting (non cash) metric which is based on accounting rules rather than simple ins and outs of cash.

[@mikewarmbold3820]

And cash rich in any other type of business would be considered "sustainable". Really is a joke at this point

[@supervillan326]

Great summary! 👍👏

Great podcast. Dave explains everything so well and makes it easier to understand. UTV

Aston Villa are seen as a threat too the status quo & some people are pointing the finger at Villa cos we've sold some of our younger players & I believe some clubs didn't see that coming & thought they'd be able cherry pick some of our top players knowing we needed to balance our books for the June 30th PSR/FFP deadline & take advantage of it too have the leverage too low ball us on the transfer fees & we'd except their shity offers cos we'd be desperate too get money in to comply with the premier leagues farce rules that protect the Rich 6 . Well luckily we've some smart people working at Villa & we've balanced our accounts without loosing a host of our best players & working within the current rules,the work going on at Villa nowadays is fantastic & we're doing great things on a far smaller budget than most & the fact we invested heavily in our academy in recent years is clearly paying off cos were producing some really talented youngsters that others are willing to pay decent amounts of money for..... up the mighty Villa!!! 😊

Bloody hell. Dave makes us sound like Rockerfella. Rockervilla!

Excellent interview.

[@nevisboy39]

Thank you for that insight

Sorry to be posting this issue here but I have tried AVFC official (endlessly) and John and Dan on Twitter and no one is listening. Holte End ST holders have lost their seats and I’m not talking “change in seat number” which is the clubs official line, or moving two or three seats to the right or left (which has also happened) because of changes to staircases. I mean people moved 100’s of seats away, in my case from slap bang in the middle of the goal to close to the corner away from my mates. Not trying to make this a contest about who is most impacted but the club keeps saying they are working to help the North Enders impacted but refuse to acknowledge Holte Enders have. I know from Twitter it’s not just me. I hope the Claret & Blue Podcast with its contacts can look into this. #UTV

What about Man City and United

[@lloydhewitt8328]

Terrible analogy, it’s not that we can’t afford to pay the mortgage. It’s more like dad wants to give us the money but that’s not allowed.

Great guest great show 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤩

[@hssIceland]

"A player is worth what someone is willing to pay." Yeah, I'm sure no club would exploit that "rule"

[@netsurfer007]

Interesting. I understand (a little bit) more now. Thank you

[@DJJ212]

Loving that new intro!

[@AllanSmith-rl9rs]

why haven't man utd and Chelsea been sanctioned with their debt

[@johnniejukes1796]

And yeah I agree we have had a great window so far

[@Stingilingus]

We haven’t sold Luiz yet but we’ve bought another player already. What happens if that deal with Luiz doesn’t go through in time for some reason? 29th June as I write this.

[@ClaretBluePod]

I believe there’s some wiggle room on the date for expected business, but it’s all expected to go through

[@johnniejukes1796]

Great pod very informative

[@user-yo8hc9qi4k]

Great podcast

[@user-gt8wz4jd2o]

what a minefield !

[@Omi_xo]

Come on Unai and Monchi!!!! Emi Couto - Konsa - Branthwaite - Maatsan Kamara Enzo Rodgers Bailey Diaby Watkins Subs; Gauchi, Kosta, Kayode, Pau, Mings, Buendia, Ramsey, McGinn, Beir

[@fredred5037]

McGinn on the bench??

[@Omi_xo]

@fredred5037 depends on the game, this is an attacking line up

[@fredred5037]

@@Omi_xo true. I’ve been so used to us having no squad depth for so many years 🤣

[@Omi_xo]

@@fredred5037 Unai fixes defense first normally, going on his record at other clubs.. then midfield, he likes goals to come from all over the pitch.. so I wouldn't bank on ST this window.

[@daviddavidge204]

Get Diaby out of there 🤢
