Transfer Embargo

[Mckechnie Orange]

PLEASE just show me some then!!
How many times do I need to ask?
If there's "plenty" then it shouldn't be difficult to show and prove to me?
I'll readily accept.
Same with proving me wrong with all the other stuff.
But there really isn't any, that's why nobody can.
As you rightly say, Jesus wept!!

You have been shown. You just choose not to believe it. And continue to dig your heels in even when it's overwhelming.

Do your own research.

I've been shown nothing, other than a couple of posters saying they heard from someone from someone else and that someone else once got something right so this must be right too .......
I see what has happened and is happening in real life.
I'll give it up now. Nothing more I can add. NOBODY has come up with anything to disprove what I'm saying, not even a credible shred of actual evidence or fact.
I'll come back to it if somebody eventual does or the facts do change.
Like everyone else on here, I've got much better things to do than just go round in circles with people claiming speculation, rumour, hearsay as fact.

You've been claiming everything as heresay since April. Now pretty much everything has become substantiated, you're clinging to investment/sale semantics to save face.

The only one going round in circles is you.

It’s all good. Acun paid the debts so that means the club doesn’t have financial problems. Yeah, he paid 143 days late but **** happens. He deserves another chance because there’s no other owner with his pashun for the club.

Things are a lot worse than they appear to be after reading that report. I'd say the chances of paying everyone on time throughout the season are slim so expect the third window ban to kick in any time soon. How can you mess so many people around and expect to get away with it? What was the point of appealing a lost cause in the first place?

Arrogance, delusion, ignorance, embarrassment......., or was it just that GFAW said "I believe you Acun so the EFL will to" whilst they shared a romantic evening out at dinner

The appeal wasn't a lost cause, it got us a one window reduction.

I just hope you’re ok
It’s really not good carrying on like this

Is that true? I understood it to be suspended.

So GFAW's supposed romantic evening out to dinner might have worked then .

I hope you are right but I wouldn't put any money on that. That mismanagement was deliberate, to be continued May 2026.

And he's not skint, he has cashflow issues.

Like I've got a tenner in my account until payday, but I'm not skint because I've got 150k tied up in my house and my employer owes me for the month in arrears, so I'm off to get lobster for tea from the fishmonger and I'll just expect to pay whenever.

But I'm not skint. Honest.

 

[Stockholm Tiger]

I honestly don't know how some posters find the energy.

I picture some of you at the end of the day sitting down to your tea with your wife and her saying:

"How was your day on the internet with your friends darling?"

"Oh brilliant love, I had 14 arguments and created 14 pages of circular waffle, can't wait to go again tomorrow, being retired is ace."

The club appealed because it wasn't black and white.
There was clearly communication / correspondence going on between City and Villa, and also with the EFL during this whole episode.
Yes, the club should have known better, and someone (or more) within the club should be responsible for understanding the rules and warning the owner accordingly (maybe there is and they did, but possibly not).
The Villa CFO didn't change his tune until the end of June. If there had been previous warnings they would have appeared in the document we've all just been reading (I assume others have bothered to actually read it all). There wasn't, so we can take it that Villa were fine with the situation up until late June when it sounds like we were trying to sign Barry permanently and so the landscape changed. The debts were then paid within days.
The EFL have to follow their written rules and as a result we've been hammered.
The club has been very naive and amatureish for sure. I don't think I've ever disputed that. The owner and relevant 'officers' of the club should never have allowed the club to get into this situation.
What I have disputed all along, and continue to dispute is the BS that's been posted on here and elsewhere like:
- the owner has lost all interest (wrong)
- the owner is skint (wrong)
- the club is about to go bust / into administration (wrong)
- we are about to be sold (wrong)
- etc etc
I have been proved correct on all the above; the drama comments by some of you have been shown to be utter BS.
The cash flow planning for the football club has been lacking. That doesn't mean the owner is skint nor does it mean the club is bust. The proof of my views is that debts have been paid, the players continue to be paid, there's no fire sale, new players (some on big wages) continue to be recruited, money is spent on the ground, we continue to invest in the academy, etc etc.
As someone else posted above, it's imperative that the owner learns from this, makes sure he has the right people in the right roles to ensure nothing like this ever happens again. I think he will ensure all that is the case; I hope to hell that time shows I am right on that too.

I presume you feel better getting that off your chest GFAW

 

[Jeff Lynnes PBCW™]

Everyone knows about it. Whether you believe it or not is up to you but it doesn’t change the fact that Acun is desperately trying to sell. A bit like genocide in Gaza, everyone knows it’s happening even if it’s not ‘officially’ recognised as a genocide.

That’s dark humour even for a parody account.

 

[Evington]

Another stupid response that adds literally nothing to the discussion.

My reality is based on exactly what has been happening and what the EFL report states, not on rumour, hearsay, drama, BS.

- the owner is still here and hasn't walked away. In fact he appears more focussed than ever.
- the owner hasn't been declared bankrupt. His businesses haven't gone into receivership or liquidation.
- the club hasn't gone bust, nor gone into administration
- we haven't been sold
- the EFL report confirms that cash flow and administration errors were made (resulting in the club breaking the rules and being punished).
- debts have been paid
- the club have continued to spend on infrastructure, players wages, pushing the FFP limits, academy, no fire sale, etc

There is nothing that I am nor that I have been claiming that is inaccurate.
On the other hand, I can list loads that others have been claiming that has been proven as inaccurate.
Go on, please enlighten me if you disagree.
