Using Cartesian epistemological method, I know six things with certainty: 1 I exist (cogito ergo sum) 2 I am not a brain in a vat. 3 We couldn't afford to pay our tax and meet our liabilities in May. 4 We sourced some short term finance to solve that problem 5 Our former CEO is now suing...

If there's no money and Dr Tone is selling the silver, Bruce will do an O'Neill and walk. Any sensible manager would. I cannot see him managing us into League One, which might be where we're heading.

Is there any concrete news other than our suspended CEO suing the club?

Let me update the thread with some hot off the press news: 1 Everyone is for sale. 2 Our transfer budge is 0 Thank you.

Dr Tone on on a burner phone conference call, hiding under a baseball cap, behind a dumpster in a Hong Kong alley. "Plenty of dollar. Villa safe. Have.. to.. go." :eek!:

I've never wanted pre-season to start as much as I do now. Time to roll up the sleeves and deal with the problem. At the moment there's a lot of speculation and bloodbath journalism and one too many with their heads under the parapet. We need to get those who matter to start talking publicly...

Dr Tone, in his bunker in Beijing, trying to get liability assurance for his exciting dinosaur theme park. "Forget Vill Park, have island off Costa Rica. Big attractions. Big money. All safe."

No one has asked Jack what he wants. As stated above, his dad is his agent. I think he'd be heartbroken with the idea of leaving us and money is not the motivator. Tone might want to sell him but he might not want to go.

We were briefly discussed in parliament, Labour Deputy leader Tom Watson seeking govt assurances that Aston Villa be given time by HMRC. The shame of it. This payment, in reality, has bought us a month. What happens when our scheduled payments, wages and tax liabilities are not met in June...

Is there a list of who has left? Who is out of contract?

As soon as McCormack hears there's no money and the club is talking with insolvency experts he'll finally prove to us that he can climb over a broken electric gate and get to the club on time. When he arrives he'll be second in the queue behind Micah Richards, who has camped out overnight...

Thanks JF. It's made so bloody miserable.

I remember when Pompey went to the wall and Ben Haim refused to take a letter from the fans asking for some of the players to forego their contracted wages and accept the 5k they would be paid by the administrator. Ben Haim refused. He said the administrator should take a pay cut instead. They'd...

Dr Tone is probably smoking his last cigarette, in his Beijing hideout, looking at his loaded revolver, phones ringing all over his desk. He picks up the nearest phone and answers, and guess who? The Chinese ruling party? No HMRC? No, it's Micah Richards, "Villa fan," making sure he's getting...

I'm starting to understand why Dr Tone was pale and sweating at Wembley. He looked like he was waiting for the hangman....only it wasn't the hangman, it was HMRC.

My ideal scenario next season is Villa playing with pride and ummpf as we hover above league one, heads held high, having sold everything but the kitchen sink. Well done, Greeny. Good ball, Callum. Round of applause; home to the Button and the Babba on a warm reliable train. Am I asking too...

The only place I knew to go where everyone would be as depressed as me: Vital Villa. I fear that there is more to this story than meets the eye. No one forgets to pay a multi-million pound tax bill. Hold on, where did I put that gigantic red bill.... Do we have the money? Is Dr Tone an actual...

I'm so sorry for everything I said, Villa. I'm actually going home happy, raving about great goals and performances. I haven't seen a hatrick scoring Villa midfield display like that since I was 12 and I'm 42.

Ah, that familiar feeling of disappointment, as if the girl you're seeing definitely won't turn up, even though she might. I couldn't help but feel flat as I trudged to the station, me and the old battered shirt. (Sip of beer). I say to myself, as I have done for the last seven seasons, that...

We may need Gabby the way it's going. Scott Hogwash needs injections, Jimmy Danger still not match ready and McCormack not good enough apparently and still skulking at training - and we've got no money to buy anyone else because of FFP.
