FFP

[Drummond]

Remind me, do the losses get aggregated over a number of seasons or is wages/turnover for each season the measure nowadays?

Still aggregated over 3 years I think but we never see the PSR adjusted loss out with these figures.

Thank you.

Even with a reduction for allowable losses, I suspect there will need to be a “break even” set of accounts soon.  We might even need a surplus to balance the last two years of big losses.

The club appear to be pushing every requirement to the limit.  Not because we are badly run, but because that is the only way to close the gap to the Big 6.  Long may the owners stay this invested!

Amen.

Exactly; not badly run, quite the opposite in fact.

[Drummond]

Oh and FFP.

[SaddVillan]

So far, we've probably earned around £76m from ECL prize money and gate receipts.

Throw in additional ECL related merchandise, tv and sponsorship monies.

PLUS what we've generated from our FA Cup run:
45% of gate receipts from all games - home and away.
£1.41m of prize money up to and including the semi-final
And £125k for each game broadcast live

Looking at £100m more than last season?

And that's without chucking in whatever Mr Heck has done re EPL home game income - not forgetting the upfront fees from Adidas and Betano.

Aston Villa’s published accounts for the 13 months ended 30th June 2024 show that the Club has made significant progress against their stated focus of consolidation and improvement.

Following a change of sporting leadership in October 2022, the performance of the first team improved dramatically and resulted in a 4th place finish in the Premier League in 2024. European football returned to Villa Park for the first time in over a decade as we reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League and qualified for the Champions League for the first time since 1982/83.

That momentum has continued into the current campaign, with the team currently in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, semi-finals of the FA Cup and competing in the league for European places.

This on-field performance improvement has been supported by continued focus on delivery of our long-term strategic plan to enhance the playing squad in a sustainable fashion.

The Club has continued to invest in our infrastructure, with capital investment increasing to £16.4m (£13.4m last year), this investment continued into 24/25 with a complete revamp of all our hospitality lounges in advance of our Champions League return, as well as investments in our new retail store, fan experiences and the wider stadium. These enhanced experiences are a key part of our commercial strategy to increase revenue and improve the long-term financial strength of the Club.

Whilst we continue to seek opportunities to increase the capacity of the stadium, we recognise that this must be done in tandem with improvements to the local transport network. We continue to work with local authorities to find appropriate solutions that will allow fans safe, efficient and affordable access to and from games.

The Foundation has continued its sterling charitable and community-led work, not only delivering hundreds of sessions per week across a wide spectrum of initiatives and outreach programmes but also maintaining financial and networking support to communities and charities across Birmingham and the wider region.

Revenue increased during the year by 27% to £275.7m, up from £217.7m in the previous year. A significant part of this increase is driven by finishing 4th in the Premier League versus a 7th place finish in the prior year as well as a cup run to the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League. The club also made significant progress on Sponsorship and Commercial revenues, which is set to continue into 24/25.

The net result of these changes is that the Club has reported a loss for the year of £85.4m after tax. This compares with a larger loss of £119.6m in the prior year. It is important to note that these figures are in line with the strategic business plan, and we continue to operate within the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability rules. The owners of Aston Villa remain committed to the long-term and sustainable development of the Club, and we look forward to continued progress on the delivery of our strategic plan.

If we've complied with FFP, I wonder what sort of wiggle room we've got with regards to strengthening come the summer.

I'd imagine sell to buy like last summer again. Bailey, Watkins, Ramsey, Cash, McGinn, Kamara, Konsa and Tielemans all have a lot of FFP value don't they?

Maybe Bailey, Cash and McGinn would be the ones to sell who would affect the first team strength the least?

I didn't detect anything in that statement suggesting those leaked north stand plans were genuine

They were labelled as a feasibility study, I wouldn't expect anything to be announced until we finish that process and are ready to go ahead with the work.

Meanwhile, I'd imagine £275m this time around will be a minimum of £375m this time next year. Even more if we can get past PSG and put in another run to get us to the CL again.

Therefore, every game is a cup final.
