From Stefan Borson,

"There is NO realistic chance Villa will fail 24/25 PSR in the post Chelsea world. Either they are not at the £105m limit or they will sell a player today or transfer an asset such as the Women's team. They do not need to let the outside world know today."

This is why I no longer pay any heed to him whatsoever! A complete BS merchant with 20/20 hindsight!

Same with the podcasters. Some of them sounded suicidal a couple of weeks ago. One of them grossly exaggerated things last year or a couple of years ago and was told this week by a sycophantic co-host that it turned out he was ‘1,000% right’ after all.

All just driven by a desperate need for content.

Did Gregg Evans grossly exaggerate PSR, wasn’t it more that he was one of the first ones saying that we’d have to sell to meet the requirements and that came to fruition. Bardell just pointed out that he got stick for it but was correct.

Yeah it's true, I don't think it was anything from fan content that was explicitly saying we'd have the first XI up for sale - this window it feels like it's mainly been poundshop 'journos' peddling rubbish about players and using the June 30th deadline as an excuse for speculation

Yes, he was completely correct.  People here were confidently asserting that he made it up because he's a bitter Albion fan and we had no PSR problems because we'd just bought Morgan Rogers.

The PSR issue this summer was smaller than last. Posted about this a while back now I think.
We’ve done this cause it gives larger headroom/space - with 22/23 season dropping off the books so PSR wise we’re very comfortable

Posted we could keep squad like for like pretty much / that remains. Some fat would have to be trimmed to reduce some wages but a lot of scope on that

I mean between Coutinho, Dendonker, Buendia, Moreno - that’s over 400k a week
Next summer by default even if we do nothing we reduce our wage bill by over 300k due to out on contracts

So this SCR will take some being clever but we have some scope to play with the %

We will likely move 1-2 larger ones on this summer purely so we can invest more also. Emi, Bailey and Digne would be my guess

[Hookeysmith]

So we have not got the predicted by the media Generation game conveyor belt* of our best players lined up for the grand sale?

*One for the kids to ask about.

I wonder how may ITK pundits will be issuing apologies for scaremongering - lets not hold our breath.

What's the betting we buy a few once July turns

[aj2k77]

Is their much difference to what we have / are doing vs Chelsea?

About £800m quids worth of difference.

Ok, we are going around in cricles

That’s what they call a U turn.

Increase revenue, maintain salaries, percentage of wages to revenue decreases. As we've massively increased revenue, job jobbed.

[VillaTim]

Chelsea to spend another £60m. Taking their total since 2020 to £1.7 billion. But we have to sell players.

Chelsea have sold more than they have spent, plus the money from their women’s team sale.

+ the hotel sale

Exactly. Get ready for all the ‘we must reduce costs’ podcasts/tweets/articles now.

I mean, I know they’re football journalists trying to talk about financial stuff, but you’d think some of them would at least have a basic grasp of maths.

[Percy McCarthy]

Oh, and if The Warehouse sale goes through successfully, should we be buying up more local real estate and doing it up? I hope so.

[Toronto Villa]

Sold the women’s team to these two mysterious fellas. Thanks chaps.

They don't have to or need to, the inconclusive noise is preferable for generating clicks and content, the truth is too boring.

[john2710]

Is the rumour we're selling the women's team any more likely to be true than the one where we had to sell our top players by today to comply?

[Demitri_C]

If you cant beat them ...

Was always on the cards.  We should just try buy more things and just sell them to ourselves like chelsea do.

PSR is officially dead
