The loophole for Villa is selling players to offset it. That's why they sold Douglas Luis to Juventus and Dhuran to Saudi.
On paper selling players should not be an issue for Levy. But even here's he has become too hesitant.

Just holding on for The Athletic piece in 2029: 10 Years on from the CL Final, Spurs decade of horror.
and Diaby to Saudi too but they also spent over 200m on new players and they cannot record the whole transfer fee for the players they sold in their books in one season... selling to Saudi is a good way to balance the books because they pay over the top transfer fees and wages but you obviously need a player to not care more about money than football. When every club is zigging you can bet your bottom dollar our chairman is zagging.
Winning the Europa league if it were to happen would feel great for a couple of days but have a feeling just like that carling cup win under Ramos it would also feel hollow after that. A club that’s not going anywhere or doesn’t really want to. Probably decades to our next success under this ownership.
Newcastle winning a less prestigious albeit harder trophy probably felt great to them because it seems like the start of something a club and ownership that’s determined to follow it up. Depressing.

I'm starting to want FFP to be completely ripped up just to expose Levy even more for the tight arse that he is.
Disagree with this, know what you mean but that’s a big win if we do it
Ha, winning our first major in 40 odd years, we would be ecstatic all Summer, let's not play it down.
Depends what you mean about change. there is no indication that Levy will go although he may get a minority investor. However I would be amazed with Levy's record of sacking Managers if Ange does not go. But without looking up the records I doubt a team with 37 points has very often gone down.

Have not been in the seats but my impression is that apathy has taken hold based on the empty seats and the lack of real in-person protests beyond the boos.
Nothing could be more insidious for the club than apathy.
There is an ever smaller group of loyalists online, most of whom keep getting louder and louder - dealing with the grief in their own way I reckon.
But the majority have lost the hope that used to spring up around the club. Nearly everyone beyond the Daniel Levy bitter-enders have the "oh well, doesn't matter as long as Levy is here" "if we win one crumb then that's the best we can hope for" stance.
This to me is a sign that the club has hit bottom and the silt is settling around enough to bury it. Supporters not caring enough to even be vocal about the decline of the club anymore.
Ffp is only a concern to owners ,in the bigger leagues , who want it to be , we’ve seen loads of ways other owners get around it . It’s a load of bobbins.
Well over 1,000, perhaps closer to 2,000 at the last protest.
The one Vs Palace will be even bigger.
As has been said on here before. Ambitious clubs who want to win find a way to navigate around them.
Daniel Levy hides behind them. Like a coward...And, bizarrely, so do a lot of our fans to try and justify failure.
It does seem strange doesn't it, the other big clubs don't seem to be that concerned over failing financial irregularities like Tottenham do.
Does levy think that, if he sits there for another 50 years, other clubs might go bust and then he has the league to himself.
Or is it more likely, he just isn't concerned with the glory side of football, only what they can make out of it.
After all, he said himself that, he got into football for financial gain and not sporting ones.
TBF - we're in the semifinal of the Europa League and more than capable of beating any/all of the remaining 3 clubs...and rather than be hopeful over that many would rather wallow in the hopelessness of the ownership situation. So...
This must be the, what, seventh overhaul of our club under Levy…?
