[Football] Villa lose £105m in promotion season

Weststander · Mar 9, 2020

On income of £54m, they had net costs of £159m including wages of £95m [compared to our £40m (including £9m in bonuses) in 2016/17].

The stadium ‘sale’ to a related company gave a ‘gain’ of £36m to part mask the £105m loss.

With £145m spent on players post these accounts, Dean Smith’s team are shirley under performing, so far.

But they ARE a massive club, so it will all work out fine :shrug:

They'll sell Grealish for a hugely over inflated amount to Man Utd in the summer.

I think this is what you meant to post.

Looks like Man U might be in quite a strong position in that particular negotiation.

Villa had nothing after relegation - they had to build an entire new squad - and that costs these days.

Not sure they will be needing Grealish with Bruno Fernandez already filling that role and Jude Bellingham looking likely to join as backup in the summer. I think they'll go for Jayden Sancho instead.

Money well spent by the looks of it...!

About time the EPL stopped clubs bending the rules using this method

I take it that this size loss is well outside the EFL FFP allowance and therefore they can look forward to some punitive measures should they go down?

This what I read in the press a few weeks ago.

How much did we lose in our promotion season?

Most clubs seem to ignore that in their quest for PL football

They had a lot more than we had after Sami almost relegated us.

It’s difficult to blame owners when the EPL has made the game all about money.

£30m plus £9m in promotion bonuses = £39m.

On top of their horrendous 2018/19 accounting losses, Villa’s promotion squad cost £120m in transfer fees, to grab a play off place.

The Albion’s promotion squad cost £23.5m, gaining automatic promotion.

Corrected for you.
