It's true they are top of player sales? That + WCC win is about £300M And Ithey don't even have a shirt sponsor?!

I'm not sure they are all over player sales. Paying Man United a fee not to sign Sancho, letting Sterling and Chilwell run down their contracts etc It's just creative accounting really. Transfermarkt has their squad down for 40 players currently

They still are though.  Particularly for players who they've never really used.

Humphries, Petrovic, Hall, Maatsen, Hutchison, Angelo and Casadei can't have more than a dozen appearances for Chelsea between them yet that's about £200m in sales in the last two years.

Edit - and none of them to Strasbourg. Add them in and you find another £50m or so.

Chelsea seem to have a knack of loaning out some of the kids to promotion winning teams, and then cashing in the next season. Humphreys was sold for £10 mil. KKH for 3.5mil. We loan out to decent teams here and in Europe and then they are still not winning the plaudits.

Perhaps we could flog the naming rights to VP for nearly £1/2bn like citeh did a few years back. It'd still be Villa Park to me and anyone else who knows anything about football.

As we don't own the ground, would it come under the clubs money if we did?

Villa Park naming rights I could live with :

Aston Martin Villa Park
The Rolls Roycerena
The Royal Stadium
The HP Sauce Bowl (one for history fans there)
Hanks Place
