    Just been announced that Villa are being investigated by the Premier League under FFFP rules. This goes back to the last few seasons in the Championship and selling the ground to themselves for £100m. So backs up my point that both clubs in last season PO Final are cheats and got there by cheating. This will probably mean relegation if they get a big points deduction

    May also be forced to sell Grealish in January with scum favourites to sign him to try balance books, so even losing him would probably see them relegated. Just been pissing off my son in law with a few links on that story

    Most of these clubs moaning about ticket prices at ER are just covering up the fact they've got **** away followings and wouldn't sell out their allocation even at £20 per ticket.

    Bowen didn’t show much against us this year... but still looked class on the ball to me. As he and grosicki are their threats they get marked out if the game a lot. The trick is working out which players will shine when surrounded by better footballers. To me, he looks like one who would...

    I have been wrong before though!


    Not very often obviously

    Aston Villa are in danger of becoming the first Premier League club to breach Financial Fair Play rules and may need to sell to ensure they comply with regulations this season.

    Sportsmail has been told that Villa need to raise millions in player sales or wage savings before the summer in order to ensure they fit in with the Premier League's spending limits.

    Villa narrowly avoided breaching the EFL's profit and sustainability rules during their promotion season through the controversial sale of Villa Park to a company owned by owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens, which raised £56.7million

    Without the sale of Villa Park and land near their Bodymoor Heath training ground it is understood the club would have been well over the permitted loss limits.

    Villa spent heavily in the summer. Manager Dean Smith was allowed to spend over £90m on new players, with no significant sales, which even allowing for the spread of payments indicates that the majority of Villa's anticipated £100m Premier League television income has already been accounted for.

    The Premier League's spending limits are less stringent than the EFL's - permitting clubs to lose an average of £35m as opposed to £13m over a three-year period - so Villa are able to record a maximum loss of £61m over the last three seasons.
