They'll jam out of it again but if they did drop it would arouse a zip bursting errection in my trousers.

Posted some lovely big losses again today even when you take into account Downing and Young transfers still around £18 million lost in a season.

Aston Villa announce £53.9m loss for 2010-11 financial year

Aston Villa bosses insist they are satisfied with the club's financial position despite announcing annual losses of almost £54m.

It does not include money raised from the sales of England wingers Ashley Young and Stewart Downing last June.

Villa revealed total income had increased by 1.3% to a record £92m.

Chief financial officer Robin Russell said: "Given the challenging economic environment we're pleased with positive trends in our financial performance."

Villa confirmed the overall loss for the year up to 31 May 2011 represents an increase from £37.6m.

The figure includes the record £24m transfer fee spent to bring England striker Darren Bent to Villa Park in January last year.

The financial statement also showed Villa's commercial income had increased by 15.9% year on year.

The Birmingham club spent £12m on changes in the football management staff, while American owner Randy Lerner invested £25m. There was an £8.3m reduction in bank borrowings.

Russell added: "The board of Aston Villa are confident that the actions taken since the end of the 2010-11 financial year have galvanised the long-term sustainability of the club and have also given us a better financial platform on which to build for future success.

"Our objectives are to compete strongly on the pitch and to achieve sustainability as well as compliance with Uefa's Financial Fair Play requirements."

How can they be satisfied when they have losses of nearly £54 million I find that very strange.

Well they got between £35-£40 million for Ashley Young and Stewart Downing so its probbly only a loss of around £20 million really, but still a slippery slope.

Because Randy still has a mountain of Daddy's money to burn through.

I can't see them staying up for the next couple of years- Right now, Bent is injured, Keane is back in LA, and the supporters are starting to lose faith even more so than usual. And with 54 pounds of debt, it's a matter of time before they become Portsmouth, Rangers, etc... Quite obviously, I've had no love or mercy for Villa, so hoping for the worst for them...

tuamigos · « **Reply #907 on:** February 29, 2012, 07:05:18 AM »

Beauty of it is that they are so much in debt that they cannot fford to sack McDull and his back room boys.
I bet their season tickets take a rollocking next year

my mate had a villa fan write on her facebook wall yesterday, she basically said; her boyfriend had got her son arsenal tickets for his first ever game and he was excited, and this is how the villa fans reply went..."he should go down to villa and watch a real team, it's my local team, we won the european cup back when it meant something"!

Doesn't take them long does it to mention that cup win!

I know a Villa fan who tried to bring up the European Cup win in an argument. Trouble was, the argument was with a Forest fan who used the classic line "Just the ONE European cup? Bless."

Jesus! that's 15 minutes of my life I'll never get back, he needs to stay away from the medicine cupboard

what will he be like if/when they go down

I almost feel like I shouldn't be taking all this pleasure for their plight, BUT F**K IT they've ripped it out of us for long enough.

You're doing a fine job agent McLeish.

A must win game for Villa tomorrow. Im expecting it to be a tight game.

Moggas barmy army · « **Reply #917 on:** March 02, 2012, 02:29:35 PM »

On a serious personal level i don't think AM has done so badly this year up to this point. Villa lost arguably their 2 best players and bought in no body to replace them (Insomnia has been a waste of space). Bent was never going to be effective without young and downing feeding him the ball. Collins and Dunne have both looked past it for a few seasons now and hes had a shedload of injuries to deal with. And the replacements are some 20 year old kids with no experience of premiership football. Theres not many managers to this point that would have them sitting above 12th. They say about McCleish's football I wonder if they had our own uncle roy in charge there i bet we would be hearing the same noises from the fans.

He has had a very tough job from the start, they had a decent enough start to the season.

Comedy gold on WM.

All we need to do is look at their stadium. Look at their history. They will ALWAYS be the biggest Midlands club.

2 must win games for them at Wigan and Blackburn and only 2 points. Fulham at home next week for them.

Why were they 'must win' games?
