"Moron"? As if anyone can forget your moronic, bitter anti-Kodjia posts on Villa Talk. ? No - It's a figment of your imagination.

Tidied for you

I think you are flattering your team a tad. I have no interest in Bristol City - I know nothing about them other than Baker & Weiman play for you as well as some bloke you call Fam. Aston Villa live rent free on this forum so I comment (down to the fact that Aston Villa is my favourite subject).

As I stated on the ffp thread, the first 2 seasons would be okay. That’s based on ffp alone. With another £100m profit from sales, we would probably be okay into the third year.

You answered your own question. How much do you think we would get for our best players? £100m plus for the top 3. Why didn’t Fulham “do a Sunderland “? We wouldn’t have ffp to contend with as the majority of that £100m plus would be pure profit.

You couldn’t be more wrong. cancelling obviously guarantees staying up. However, we have a game in hand over all our rivals. Furthermore, we have 6 games out of the remaining 10 at home. Some of those rivals only have 4 home games left. Finally, our key midfielder will be fit enough to return from injury. Our slide started when he came out of the team. we have no chance of doing a Sunderland and if we go down, we’d have over £100m to spend on players without even touching the parachute money. you lot are miles off the likes of Fulham, forest and Brentford. You’ve no chance of promotion.

I love the sterotypes I read on here. Nobody goes around living off 82 and they never have. Likewise, Leeds - I never see them harping on about being a massive club either (although they are too big for the Championship. As for being a yo-yo club. We've been relegated once since the PL started and that was due to an owner taking what money out of the club that he could. You think just because you have a new little ground that it's any good? Ask supporters across the land their favourite stadium. Villa Park will be right up there whereas I doubt most will even know where Ashton Gate is.

Since August 2016 when we signed Kodjia. Shows exactly what a bunch of two bob, bitter bunch of small timers you are. Prior to that, our paths hadn't crossed for donkeys years.

We are not your rivals. Just because we took Kodjia off you doesn't mean there is a rivalry, other than in your bitter heads. You just worry your pretty heads over Bristol Rovers and Bath City and leave the big boys to contest big boy rivalries.

Pops - There will be no lawyers rubbing their hands. The TV companies are covered by both contract and statute. This is why the PL are so keen to get the season played out - They know the alternative is to miss out on circa £750m.

Personally, I'm still of the opinion that FFP will be relaxed in some form or other. However, if we find ourselves back down, we will most likely receive £100m + in transfer sales. Whilst this will probably be spread over a 4 year period, it will still see over £25m come in for the relevant year. From our previous experience, I sense that relegated teams have 2 seasons in which to get back up - The 3rd year of parachute payments falling substantially. If we went down, with Leeds & WBA out of the way, I'd be fairly confident of us going back up within 2 years.

It could well be the case that this payment will not fall under the parameters of FFP (see Villa's payment to Xia). You would assume that the new owner was aware that this money would have to be paid. With that in mind, you'd think a contingency is in place - Either parachute money or a cash injection directly from the new owner. PS - How much would the McAlpine stadium be worth (dons tin hat).

As far as I'm aware, nothing is in place at this point for the self-employed. If and when something is introduced, it will almost certainly be classed as income and therefore taxable (provided that the worker earns over his personal tax allowance for that year (which is around £12,000 I believe).

You are employed that way because your employer is trying to ensure that they do not have to pay you holiday pay.

What 80%? Do you mean if he receives £80 instead of £100 from the client? Why would he want to do that? Why would he want to evade tax, risk the consequences of doing so, just to save the client £20? He gets £80 either way so obviously, he might just as well receive it through the books - He has nothing to gain by letting the client off £20.
