There is an excellent article in Birmingham Live today (I know I was surprised too) written by John Townley explaining our position regarding our financial situation and how Chris Heck must go about raising our revenue streams to compete at the top level.
Can you post the contents here, pls.

John Townley is on the whole, very good.

After a shaky start, the boy is challenging his rival and initial-matching compadre, Jacob Tanswell. The future's bright with this young Villa blood we're bringing through. Let's hope we don't sell them off to the...Stoke Sentinel or Norfolk Gazzette just to help with PSR.

Tried unsuccessfully but if you type in John Townley Birmingham Live the story is there. It references V Sports.

Yeah, he is pretty much the only decent "journalist" about...

is there a different PSR limit (€90m) for UEFA, rather than £105m for the Premier League?

I see Arsenal only signed David Raya today for £27 million, despite the fact he has been playing for them for the last year.  Are their fans going to be crying about this one, how it's all unfair manipulation of the rules?

It was a loan, so probably not.

Thanks KNV. Yes the one I read this morning is there under Top Stories. Number 5 the 400 million pound chase which involves V Sports group. It explained things in a way I understood lol.

That's a bit unfair.

It's a bit tough for us to point out the shit ones with glee, yet not recognise the good ones.

Tanswell. Percy. Ornstein. There's three really good ones. Henry Winter. Even Matt Law. Decent.

I really enjoy Tanswell’s stuff.

I don’t have anything against Townley, but I don’t read his stuff because I refuse to give anything in the abominable Reach empire a click.

Yeah, but it was a loan because they couldn’t afford to sign him permanently last season, and Brentford agreed to it because it suited them to kick the fee forward a year. Arsenal then finished above us last season with a goalkeeper they couldn’t afford, yet somehow it’s the deals going on between us and Everton that need looking at.

Fair point.
