Aston Villa could face a significant financial setback this season if their Premier League struggles continue, with Unai Emery under growing pressure to improve the team’s domestic results.
According to a Football Insider report, former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson warned that Villa could lose more than £30 million in Premier League prize money compared to last season.
