Financial Fair Play investigation

Are you certain because these rules are kind of harmonised and in the EFL as soon as an FFP charge kicks in, there is some sort of soft embargo. It's a grey area and still quite untested however.
You could always put yourself forward for a Q&A session on Toffee TV or the like. I'm sure they'd welcome it.

Perhaps not until our relegation fate is known, one way or the other, though.
 
The interest is what goes through Profit and Loss, loans don't of course- but the less debt the better and it assists with the Cash Losses section. I must say however the method of payment in 2019 for Villa Park as a Loan Receivable sitting on the Balance Sheet...hmm. It was unusual at least in football terms.
Interest and charges go through P&L, capital obviously doesn't.

As for the sale of VP, I am not sure what you are referring to. The sale is recorded as a 36m disposal of the fixed asset on the P&L. Maybe you are mixing up which company accounts you are looking at. Obviously, the company that manages the club was the seller and not the buyer of Villa Park, hence it is an asset disposal of VP on the P&L of the club's accounts. However, the owners of Villa have other companies within a holding group and VP was sold to one of these companies. So that company had to pay the club 36m. As it is a new company set up for this purpose it would not have any funds so the owners needed to put 36m into the holding company in order for it to be able to pay AV. the 36m I assume they put this money into the holding company in the form of a loan, it would be fairly daft to do it any other way. What clubs did it differently to this?

Agreed interest and charges yes, other bits ie loans not.

Profit was £36m or thereabouts, price was about £56.7m. It appeared to be in the form of a Loan Receivable which as per FRS 102 is due within 12 months or less, yet sits on Balance Sheet still it would appear. Other clubs or generally appears in the statement of Cash Flow in the season of the transaction, save for Sheffield Wednesday which was over a number of seasons. While since I've looked properly tbh.

Fair different treatments same outcome. Possibly me being a bit picky.

I don't get u, disposal of an asset can't sit on Cash Flow, it must be accounted for. The 36m is on the P&L in the accounts. The value of the asset will be deducted from the balance sheet. Where are u finding a loan on the balance sheet? I can't see it in the accounts. Which company name and which accounting period are u looking at?
 


I find it baffling we've had our sources of income sanctioned due to a war they have nothing to do with but the team that beat us today are funded by a vile regime that executes approx 50 people a day.
Yes it’s mental.

Also the accusations of money laundering for me are odd - the point of money laundering isn’t to see how much of it you can lose through football.

Spot on. I can't get my head round it, Usmanov was happy to spend and lose money to other teams. That's not money laundering.
