Disappointed to discover it's 'only' about Grealish.

What I love about our owners is that really quite quietly they’ve gone about their business. Rescuing us from the brink of oblivion. Literally. Appointing very good people in all positions (and I include Suso very much in that as many of his signings have turned out well) and letting them do their jobs. But they carried on just adding pieces to the club and setting us up for a sustained go at being a top side. And they will be the first to acknowledge we have a way to go. But this stuff doesn’t happen overnight. While NS may be the bigger gun when it comes to cash out Wes knows his sports too. And what he’s done with the Bucks with securing their best young players on long term deals he’s done the exact same with us. The future looks really good.

Without COVID, our loss would have been roughly the same as the last year in the Championship, despite the big spend on players. The money in this league is nutty.

The article makes great reading. Yes we were fortunate that our fantastic owners saved us from oblivion but I'd like to think that happened because of who we are. Aston Villa is an institution with a rich history since the inception of association football in which of course we played a major part. The haters from across the city call us spawny bastards because we struck lucky with NSWE but it's not just down to luck although I do thank McGrath every day that our club is under the stewardship of the brilliant Mr Sawiris and Mr Edens. The future is not only bright it's exciting. It's our turn now to show these owners that they made the right choice in purchasing Aston Villa by packing Villa Park to the rafters week in and week out when we finally get the chance.

The accountants can do the analysis but my take is that our owners are filthy rich and not afraid to spend it.
You sound to me like a very diligent Forensic Financial Auditor.

Amongst good news this is a statement of merit:
At the start of the pandemic Aston Villa made the decision not to utilise public funds via the Coronavirus Retention Scheme and did not furlough any members of staff. The Club continued to pay all employees throughout the Coronavirus period, including all our casual and matchday employees.

Absolutely. My brother works on the turnstiles and he's been getting his pay, in full, regular as clockwork. Really classy.

Especially classier when you consider what some of the other Premier League clubs have done in the same situation.

Thank the Lord for the bank of our 2 owners

The question is will we ever make a profit again?

They will want to increase the value of the asset rather than make profit.

Maybe if we finally start winning trophies and selling millions of shirts world-wide we’ll start bringing in a few quid. Opens up a whole lot of different questions though.

 "The recruitment strategy is focused on securing talented young players on long-term contracts to build long-term asset value in our playing squad".
Does exactly what it says on the tin (Cash, Konsa, Watkins) Long may it continue.  UTV
