Yeah I just checked and the CL total money is roughly around  €2.2B, Europa around €500M and Conference €250M

 

It's insane how much the CL helps Financially, no wonder Villa are making all these signings this window 

 

Villa had to sell Duran for £60m+ to be able to make the signings. Would you want us to sell Isak?

I wonder if the club thought the psr model would be bust by now, and we'd be able to invest? Either that or we banked on Bruno leaving in the summer for £100m. 

Wonder if the still think the model is on its last legs and just doing it's best to keep it's main players and at any cost. 

If not, we're selling in the summer. Most likely isak. 

My guess is that they thought the "related party deals" thing would be defeated. Which it kind of was by City but has seemingly still been resurrected with pundits suggesting its necessary "because Newcastle".

 

There are also still loopholes in PSR, like sell yourself a hotel or a women's team, or use the multiclub model. Maybe thats what is driving the Santos thing.

 

Whatever all the specifics are, I would readily forgive our owners for buying the club without realizing how much resistance there would be to them putting money in.

What? I'm not saying that or anything about us, I'm just saying they are seriously going for it with their singings / targets this month, whilst they are still within distance of CL in the league and entering the knockouts in the CL. 

 

Their business seems strange when you consider their FFP position / apparent wages / revenue percentage, but they clearly think it's worth the gamble for CL money and glory

Why the big clubs keep pushing for more reforms that gives them added protection to get into UCL, because even if they’re shit in the league they can keep the money coming to maintain gap over rest long term. 
 

With likes of Man Utd / Milan / Juve currently not looking like qualifying, won’t be surprise if the push for next UCL reform is for clubs who don’t qualify via league/holders, qualify based on historic co-efficient, so those sides are protected to keep getting that UCL money.

7 windows without a first team signing is disgraceful.

Depends when you want to class us getting Hall. As we actually paid for him in the most recent summer window.

Did you miss the part about them selling Jhon Duran? He was a key player for them, if they sold him, obviously they would have to replace him.

Did you miss the part where they signed Malen, Rashford, Asensio (I think?) and tried to sign Felix? Looking at Disasi etc

 

Seems very much like they're bolstering their attack ahead of an impressive CL campaign and whilst they still have a chance to make top 5 in the league. Not just replacing Duran, and he wasn't anywhere near as key for them as Isak is to us, since you mentioned Isak previously 

 

Your first reply suggests you think I was comparing their approach this window to ours, and that for us to do similar we'd need to sell Isak. I made no comparison at all to us. I just said fair to them making a right go of it 

 

Having said that, I do wish there was 1 decent attacking loan option we could have made from abroad somewhere 

[The Prophet]

Villa's business is very punty.

 

Relatively risk-free short terms deals with a high upside.

 

It makes a lot of sense in their position, with the demands of the Champions League.

[sempuki]

Genuinely forgot the deadline was today. Hope the next one isn't such a non-event.

that’s how FFP works though, the fact that they sold Duran and Douglas Luiz for huge sums has allowed them to spend on multiple players, just like we would be able to if we sold Isak, Gordon or Bruno

Isak's not sat on our bench most weeks though is he?

Under Ashley, Isak, Bruno, Gordon, Tonali, Botman, Hall, Tino - all be sold

 

Edit:  scratch that we wouldn't have had them in the first place.  btw I know that's not what you meant

What an absolute knee slapper.

Mike Ashley wasn't that bad to be fair.

 

At least we always passed PSR without needing sales!
