This is the problem with the season finishing before the financial year. Villa could easily argue / include the sale of Grealish for £30m in early summer in their projected accounts to bring them within FFP for example.

There are allowances, such as Academy costs. MrP will give you a fuller answer.

Think Villa are fine until they submit their predicted accounts in a couple of months. By that time Birmingham will have had their hearing, and if the EFL think they want to come down hard on Villa, they need to set a precedent with Brum to leave Villa’s lawyers with no wriggle room. Great 1st post MP.

To the dogs!!

Just watching Boro v Derby...jeez, Boro are leaving one on a Derby player every tackle. Nothing sinister just a bit late every time, or a bit put on the challenge.

1,2...3,4,5....6,7,8,9...Tottenham

Bit sad when people want to make themselves sound all important and ITK.

Better start than last season p5 w1 d3 l1 last season.

Yeah, good, controlled half. Swansea got the ball into their midfield nicely, but not into the final third. Kelly having a great battle with Asoro down their right, Kelly on top. This was the guy who kept running at Bryan in the Sunderlsnd 3-3 isn’t it? Pack and Brownhill doing well both with and without the ball. Weimann and Taylor working really hard and doing god jobs. Our biggest threat, Eliasson who has the better of his RB...Good cross for goal and other chances created. edit; just to add COD looking confident since replacing Watkins.

Neat and tidy, need to ensure we don’t give him time to stroke it around.

Yeah, I always like a balance, but the starting eleven is the main thing.

Why not? The opposition line-up / selection might mean something you’ve discussed pre-game might need to be put into action.

Nice to see today that the moaning is reserved for the choice of subs.

Me too, but he’ll get his chance at some point. Squad looking stronger and we said that there are gonna be times when some players aren’t gonna get in the 18.

with Celina, Asoro and McKay, they have a few dribblers in their team.

Eisa traveled.

No Eisa in 18 Kalas for Pisano

Saw Baker and Kalas get off bus...didn’t see Moore, and not sure about Walsh.

Looking forward to seeing Matty Taylor today. Thought he looked sluggish v Boro, and despite his goal and hard work v QPR I thought he still didn’t look sharp. LJ mentioned in his presser that he thought MT had got the rustiness out of his legs on Tuesday, so i’m Hoping to see more from him today.

Scotty Murray tweeted that couldn’t where red shirts and white shorts, because of Rangers white shorts. We couldn’t use the black shorts because they have a different badge. So there you have it. Hes also said we will be wearing same kit v Swansea.

Nah foul

What an Eze chance

Said the same to BBSB on SMS
