[little dave hedgehog]

you're obsessed, mrs. b. that thread was about gary mac, not villa

[MrsB]

Why was it in the general football forum then?

[little dave hedgehog]

because he don't play for us no more.

i don't think you can make any sort of case that aston villa is in any way more important than gary mac

[MrsB]

No, but I'm a mod and can merge threads whenever I want to.

#AVFC wage bill cut from £83.4m to £69.6m, reducing the wages to turnover ratio from 91% to 87%.

Swiss Ramble @SwissRamble
Termination payments to managers have once again hit #AVFC 2012 accounts with a £5.9m exceptional charge (£12.0m in 2011).

Swiss Ramble @SwissRamble
#AVFC 2012 profit on player sales £26.9m (2011 £18.8m), largely due to Stewart Downing to Liverpool and Ashley Young to Manchester United.

Swiss Ramble @SwissRamble
Excluding profit on player sales of £26.9m and interest waiver of £20.3m, the #AVFC 2012 loss would have been a hefty £64.9m.

Swiss Ramble @SwissRamble
In any case, #AVFC aggregate losses for last four seasons amount to a massive £155m.

Swiss Ramble @SwissRamble

Randy Lerner put £10m into #AVFC in 2012, so has now provided around £240m of funding, split between loans and capital injections.

I have never liked Villa and will be happy to see them relegated.

This is what happens when you give Martin O'Neill a job and help perpetuate the myth that he's a good manager.
