@AVFCStatto Now exclude penalties and re-do the tweet.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@UpTheAstonVilla Absolutely, I would recommend adding these caveats in the website as the SCR picture is certainly not as good as the website makes it seem. We do know the £38mn paid in agent fees by Villa last season, that sum alone changes the SCR % completely. Would include it somewhere.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@UpTheAstonVilla Obviously you can't account for it easily given we don't know the exact figures but the costs are still there, can try to project/model a rough guesstimate. There's a reason Villa is making £80mn loss year over year with almost neutral net spend. There's lots more costs involved

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@UpTheAstonVilla Love the resource but it definitely pains a misleading/simplified picture in many ways. Boubacar Kamara would have been given substantial signing on/loyalty bonus when signing his contract extension + agent fees, yet he's listed as having zero book value. Definitely not the case.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@UpTheAstonVilla Manzambi, Gomes, Garnacho will all cost substantially more than just the transfer fee divided by amount of years. There's also 4% Premier League levy payment on all transfers in the league.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@UpTheAstonVilla Are you adding agent fees in book value/amortisation costs? They are always left out of these calculations that make the entire financial picture too simplified. We've paid £38mn in agent fees which often go unaccounted.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@Lu_Class_ @espenstrand Appreciate that clarification. Was wondering do you think the currently reported commercial deals of Everton seem bit exaggerated (or potentially bonus heavy)? Seen their fans mention they will be getting £26mn for FOS, which seems improbable compared to Villa and Newcastle deals

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@Lu_Class_ @espenstrand Can these figures be trustworthy? You (as did everyone else at the time) reported Betano deal at 20mn a year, while in reality we now found out it was around 14mn.

@SmythSir @J_Tanswell @TheAthleticFC Nothing about Guessand's profile screams Unai's signing one bit. Nor has it been rumoured as such, Tanswell always doubles down when it's the case.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@callumallen017 @J_Tanswell Kamara has been more unlucky than injury prone. Though maybe his knees are just weaker and more susceptible, last collision minor yet turned out poor. He's bound to have a proper full season surely! We'll still be a side susceptible to one badly timed injury derailing us little

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@callumallen017 @J_Tanswell Our underlying advanced stats from last season were quite poor, had us squarely as a midtable side. I don't think the way we played would be sustainable for long. Not a bad time to freshen it up. We do lack someone of Youri's quality now that is a worry, but let's see how we fare

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@callumallen017 @J_Tanswell Kamara last season was showing a lot more in terms of offensive output, he was an actual asset further up the pitch. Not to say he's ever going to become Youri level, but Gomes and Kamara have ability to be a lot more than just pure 6s.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@ReissKeating Our commercial revenues need to increase by about £50-75million for us to be in position we can keep hold of the players without financial constraints holding us back. Ain't easy as in other words it just means acquiring more fans which only come from sustained winning.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@ReissKeating @J_Tanswell @TheAthleticFC You buy players that increase in value as every other team does? Manzambi has potential to be 100mn player in a year from now if he produces World Cup form in Champions League.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@Jaycen_solo @UpTheVillaLad I don't think a single team benefits more from Premier League switching from PSR (105mn losses) and into the SCR system than Villa frankly. But most Villa fans keep confusing UEFA and Premier League rules now, which is fair enough since it was PSR that was usually concerning.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@Jaycen_solo @UpTheVillaLad In fairness to him, most Villa fans hasn't yet grasped Premier League's SCR was done in a way that doesn't stifle ambition and allows lots of room to manoeuvre.

Obviously doesn't matter right now when UEFA's implementation has both of our hands tied around our backs.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@myoldmansaid Saving Villa from points deduction was Monchi's mess? That makes zero sense given he didn't inherit Villa's extremely poorly run finances the 3 seasons before.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@JonFX5 @Jaycen_solo @Niall1874 @theavfcfaithful The only positive aspect of these swaps now, a lot of these deals that Villa did at the time have very low book values, Dobbin sale will be really good profit, whatever they get for Illing, Maatsen too, selling them will generate more profits for UEFA's accounts than expected.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@JonFX5 @Jaycen_solo @Niall1874 @theavfcfaithful Which UEFA discounted. Villa at the time was remedying failing Premier League's PSR at the time, UEFA was not even on horizon.

This led into trouble when they got European football and ended in settlement agreement.

[Bartek @Bart_iii]

@SeanBVilla @villareport Because we are already letting go of our starting left back and centre midfielder with Emi possibly going too. Pau has a unique playstyle that will be almost impossible to replace at moment's notice, now with Tielemans gone he's also the best passer in the team.
