Aston Villa Beef Up in More Ways Than One

Ep. 296

The business of PSR has been tackled, as Aston Villa's accounts for the 2023/24 season close. So, now, instead of talking numbers, we can talk about the deals in terms of the players bought in. What do they mean for the squad and what else is to be done in terms of bolstering the team for a twin assault on the Premier League and Champions League.


We also look at the match day ticket prices, which were released under the cover of England playing in the Euros, as well as catching up with the latest Villa news, Three Points and Emery's Clipboard.
