I see Little Bournemouth had another good victory, slamming Brighton 3-0 taking them to 10th in the PL table, pretty good for a club attracting maximum 11,250 attendances.

We've done it 21 times incidentally

7 times since 1945 for Villa is the same amount of times we've done it in the bloody Premier League.

Now look where we are and they are.

Depressing :lol:

Missed opportunities, but no surprise when you had the three stooges in charge.

Emery has done a great job at Villa :clap:

Alonso would be their best chance of continued success. but once he wins more stuff with Leverkusen he'll be off to Real or Barca, and forget about him ever going to Livarpool.

I thought we were after Slot Machine last season?

I've talked to a few Villa fans and they all say that he's the best thing since sliced bread.

I did say at the time that once we blew our transfer funds ineffectively in the Prem it would have long-term consequences for the club

Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for virtually all their first-team squad this summer as Sir Jim Ratcliffe looks to turn the club back into challengers for major honours.

A bold move, it suggests that Ten Hag will ge another couple of transfer windows to build his squad.

Transfermrkt has their squad valued at E734.5M

This is a massive story.

Everton call in insolvency advisers amid fresh doubt over 777 takeover
Club believed to be waiting for further £15m of loans from 777
Advisory firm Teneo deals with restructuring and insolvency


Everton are calling in a leading firm of restructuring and insolvency advisers, the Guardian understands, raising further questions about the proposed takeover of the Premier League club by 777 Partners.

The move comes as the club are believed to still be waiting for a further £15m of loans that 777 had pledged to provide Everton with during April, according to one 777 source.

The latest loan would have taken the amount the club had borrowed from the American firm to more than £200m during the seven months since it was announced it would acquire Everton.

The latest loan would have taken the amount the club had borrowed from the American firm to more than £200m during the seven months since it was announced it would acquire Everton.

However, 777 appears to be experiencing further financial difficulties, with its low-cost airline Bonza entering voluntary administration in Australia on Tuesday. Meanwhile, 777 Partners is understood to have parted company with its UK PR advisers after falling behind on paying its fees.


The developments raise further questions regarding whether 777 will be able to complete its takeover of Everton – and how the club will be funded until the end of the season.

When companies fall into financial difficulties, directors are required to take professional advice and closely monitor a business’s finances to ensure that they are not trading while insolvent.

The Guardian understands that Teneo – a global financial advisory firm with a large insolvency division – has been approached to advise Everton and its directors.

When asked on Monday about the firm advising Everton, Daniel Butters, Teneo’s chief executive of financial advisory, said: “We don’t comment on any client situations.” The phone line then went dead.

Everton declined to comment.

The developments also raise questions about how long the Everton owner, Farhad Moshiri, can retain control of the club, only a month after assuring fans that 777’s takeover was entering the “home straight”.

Another set of Everton creditors – MSP and its partners, the Evertonian businessmen Andy Bell and George Downing – has loaned the club about £160m, which is secured over the new stadium development at Bramley-Moore Dock, as well as a charge over more than half of Moshiri’s 94% stake in the club, according to corporate documents filed in the Isle of Man. That consortium could use its security to take control of the club.

777 did not respond to efforts to contact the company. 777 appears to be experiencing further financial difficulties, with its low-cost airline Bonza entering voluntary administration in Australia on Tuesday.
