There you go.

Bore off, you're still hurting from my post a few weeks* ago I see. Been no hostility from me apart from you trying to shout facts down my ears continually which I've had to respond to. Of course if you want me to prove I'm a villa fan sign up to Villatalk and I'll PM you, not that you would but...

Yeah a lot of compensation, can't see it happening. I wouldn't take any notice tbh.

Moyes is our number one target, Martinez was our backup plan and he was only asked for an interview. Of course Whelan has made it out to be a major news story which will send a good vibe round Wigan. It's not to say we will get Moyes as I doubt it, but he has been our number one target all...

Our clubs accounts specifically show that all loans Randy Lerner has lent us are 'interest free' and repayable between 2016 and 2019, although that can be changed. So where did you get this interest nonsense from? Was it the daily mail or the mirror?

I think Berbatov is a Newcastle fan? I agree though that you lot are far more of an attractive option then the teams up north.

Mr Damon I know your type, the one who thinks he knows every little detail of every little thing and refuses to accept another persons point of view. Due to another person having a different point of view you feel you have to continually repeat your point usually aided by capital letters or bold...

I'd agree with everything Shoody said, seems Mr Damon is speaking about something he doesn't have a clue about again... For what its worth, I think only Reo-Coker would be good enough for you and his wage demands are likely to be in the 60k range meaning you wouldn't be able to sign him...

I wasn't a such defending how much we have to spend as it will be the same as ever, a decent amount but not a lot compared to other teams. It was more to do with the fact that we were apparently broke which we're not :) Apologise for my part in taking it off topic though!

All staff wages are included in the wage bill, that even includes matchday staff. It was confirmed by the club. A reason why it's higher then Spurs as we have a lot more non playing staff then them.

We terminated the FXPro as I said because they renegotiated after the trial period. Our only losses come from player sales, we make profits running as a club without them This year we made a profit of £11m. We will now reduce the wage bill significantly by 10-15m which will give us more funds...

Most clubs our size have debts that size though, that's the whole idea of having a wealthy chairman, he provides you the loans to make the signings. The loans are then paid back over time, whether it been 5 years or 20 years. The only way we'd be in a major financial crisis is if our income was...

Thanks, just realised I was posting the 2009 figures rather then 2010!

Well I've posted the facts and figures and I pretty much represent the feelings of most Villa fans. Whether you agree or not it's up to you but we would certainly know more then an Everton fan. I'm certainly not in a position to speak about your financial position as I don't know anything about...

From the Guardian website, a lot more reputable then a one paragraph yahoo article... Turnover: 84m (excluding player sales.) Made up of 23m matchday income and 49m broadcasting revenue. The rest is commercial. Wage Bill: 71m (Which will soon be reduced.) Not sure how we are losing money...
