From the source

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.

Villa enjoyed an impressive 2025-26 campaign, finishing fourth in the Premier League and securing Champions League qualification. However, their domestic form has been disappointing this season, leaving them dangerously close to the relegation zone.
