I saw it on Twitter yesterday from the Peter O'Rourke fella. Saying they need to raise funds for PSR.
If they’re about to fail PSR for this period, I think they’ll need to sell before June 30th. So someone is in a strong negotiating position for a bargain.
In a word, yes.
It seems like Friday is D-Day, so we've not much longer to wait.
I don’t quite understand why Aston Villa are struggling with PSR. If they’re at risk of failing this summer, then the three-year period must be from 2022-2025. In that period, their net spend in terms of transfer fees alone is £80,445,235 but that’s not taking into account amortisation. They also got a lot of money from qualifying for the Champions League. I don’t know what their wage bill is like but I just don’t see how they’re close to making a loss of £105 million in the last three years.
They made a loss of £85.4m last year alone.
This year, the 2021/22 season (when they sold Jack Grealish and didn't lose money as a consequence), drops off the three year cycle and makes things very tight.
Is that the 2023/24 season? Their net spend on transfer fees for the 2024/25 season is negative even before taking amortisation into account. Plus, they had the money from the Champions League this year.
Seems some others know a bit more about it than you. If you don’t believe OLM this bloke knows what he is talking about. https://talk-villa.com/aston-villa-...-june-kieran-maguire-football-finance-expert/
He's young enough and supposedly good enough, all set up for 'Chelsea type' deal, contract and payment over 7+ years, and sell down line once his value has increased significantly. In the meantime we get him to bang in some goals (think that's what they are called, never seen many recently). Simple this transfer business.
I read something to that extent, then again Liam Delap has just signed a 6 year contract?
I for one don’t want Barry. His fee will be crazy, and we have our two wingers. Spend any money we have on a striker.
Indeed it is. And full of recreational opportunities in particular windsports on the River-Wingfoiling, Kitefoiling/Kitesurfing,Windsurfing and now Para Winging.You made me Google Hood River, looks a beautiful place
But I gotta say even given its reputation Darlington still thas its treasures, drive just a few miles out of the City and you are in the Dales with some of the most stunning scenery in the UK.
We can't rely on wingers who are unlikely to be reliably fit and firing until weeks or months into the season - it's rare for there not to be setbacks given the nature of their injury and the time spent out.
We would also need cover regardless and the owner has said he doesn't want to be risking us having to play central players in wide positions again this season, so I expect we'll be looking for 1 wide player if Kamara stays, 2 if he goes.
Whether Barry would be value for money or not is a different matter entirely.
Acun said he wants 4 good wingers cos last years cover just wasn't up to scratch
If the fee is inflated v value, then agree. For what its worth I watched him play for Stockport 3 times, and he was a central striker which I understand is his preferred position?
As the Blunts and the Smoggies are said to be interested him it is academic as can’t see him choosing us over them.
Good for him. It’s hard for academy centre-backs to break into the first team in the Championship. Greaves only got his chance for us in League One. Sometimes they drop down to League One or Two, have a few good seasons then get a move to a Championship club.
