Are the football finance cost control rules fair? Not if you’re Aston Villa https://t.co/50JlwyjQXz

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

You can perhaps understand why so many Villa fans are hacked off with the way that PSR/SCR has constrained the club over recent years when looking at the net spend over the last five years we have calculated at @valuball

Norway 1 - 2 Jude Bellingham.

@JonasGahrStore, your boys took one hell of beating 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[Stef @avfc_stef]

Increasing 30,000 season tickets by ~£50 nets the club an additional £1.5m

The excuse used is to “support ongoing investment in the playing squad”

Achieving UCL and winning Europa will earn villa ~£85m

Harvey Elliott’s wages for the duration of his loan cost ~£3.4m

Jadon Sancho’s wages for the duration of his loan cost ~£7.2m

Abraham and Alysson signings cost £30m+ in fees alone only to barely play

Aston Villa spent £38.4m on agent fees between Feb 2025 and Feb 2026

Price hikes exist to help the commercial teams achieve arbitrary year-on-year internal target increases rather than having any material impact on “supporting ongoing investment in the playing squad”.

If it had a meaningful impact - why is our manager dealing with the same core of a squad he took over 4 years ago despite hikes every year?

You don’t NEED to increase ticket prices. You WANT to.

Stop meaninglessly punishing match-going fans and get your act together commercially. And stop lying to us about why.

Pocket pinching loyal fans WILL NOT help Aston Villa compete.

Wow.. no words to describe how I’m feeling right now. What a journey we have been on together and now again we can call Aston Villa EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS!! I never in my wildest dreams thought I would play for a club the size of Villa but to help lead them to a major European trophy makes me the proudest guy alive!! UP THE VILLA 💜💜💜

@MatKendrick Does he listen to the podcast?

GOODNIGHT, VILLANS

[Retro Football Network @retrofootballnw]

BBC Sport have just done a feature on what football will be like 2036.

Back in 1994, on the football show Standing Room Only, they looked at the future of the game.

This one from 32 years ago was more serious.

Quality of the premier league is supposedly terrible this year but we still have 5 teams in the top 8 of the champions league 🙃

Another memorable year following #AVFC, from winning late at Arsenal to qualifying for the Champions League and beating Bayern.

But if I could relive a small part of 2024 it would probably be the penalty shootout win in Lille and watching the party in the away section. Proper.

[Josh @joshpearson180]

Two seasons, two CL newcomers, same story……

#nufc & #avfc ambitions crushed by PSR.

Meanwhile, “elite” clubs swim in debt and splurge.

Fair competition or calculated suppression @premierleague ? ⚽️💸
