Is that some weird formula they use to get that figure or is it real world - does it actually mean that 97 percent of Aston Villa's turnover goes to pay wages?
So a five percent reduction in turnover would see them screwed?
That can't be right.

It won't take him two months to "get up to speed"
I thought that he was in light training now?
The end of the day Levy won't be sanctioning another CB buy.
1. I can do GIFs again
2. Our current transfer policy
Our plan every year.
How did he forget???!
If this is even remotely true and we have a run at Simons, there better not be any excuses for why we failed .
Pay him the same as Romero and give him Son’s #7 shirt.
If we make one signing and it’s Simons, the window hasn’t been a total disaster
Many in here said that Palhinha couldn't make a forward pass worthy of a PL footballer.
I'd take either Lookman or Pacqueta rather than trying to shoehorn an existing player into their position.
Any one of Savinho, Paqueta, Mainoo and Simmons makes the window ok. Not good, and not good enough, but not a disaster
From a year out with an ACL? It takes ages to get back to a good level. How long did it take for Bentancur to look back to his pre injury form?
Well if Levy doesnt sanction another centre back then he's seemingly already going against the wishes of his new manager and is therefore a complete idiot.
It takes longer than 2 months to get back to full speed and power after that type of injury.
They usually say you don’t see the same player until the following season…
Rodri still coming off the bench being a perfect example
Mainoo isn’t in the list for me.
He doesn’t solve anything except another youngster for numbers
I found it genuinely weird the reaction to Pal when it broke. Those posters either didn't watch his PL games for Fulham, or watched through lilywhite spectacles. Guy was absolute quality for Fulham.
You’re in cloud cuckoo land if you think Solanke is worth £30m!
Striker
Prem proven
English
All make him considerably more expensive than any other position on the pitch!
Who would buy him?
No one else was interested when we bought him - and he is a year older
Lange's in a foreign land,paul simon ehh?
i met daniel levy on the street last night
i asked him who we signing, he just smiled
i said, we need three players
but only get fake transfer leaks
no signings after all these weeks
ooh, no signings after all these weeks..
He is surrounded by N'obody, N'obody.
Get these ITKs away from me.
Y'know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore.
He said, if you'll be my left winger,
I can ping a grand paypal.
Our fanbase is all sweaty,
And sweaty they are calling
For my balls, please, ow!
Bail me out.
I disagree tbh. He is a bit close to Bergvall as a player, though I think more incisive. I think either of them could potentially do a decent job at no.10 and no.8. I also discount the Man U shitshow and take his form when he came into the team as a better indication of his potential. I think under Frank we'd have a great player within a season. Would be enough - if not ideal - to get us through the no.10 issue until Kulu and Madders return.
Talking to levy the sound of silencepaul simon ehh?

We announced our last signing on page 1081...
Newcastle are throwing 60m bids at Larson FFS!
Newcastle. Though I doubt they'd pay £60m.
