Aston Villa are now looking to sell land to help ease financial worries.

Losing 1-0 to Fulham in the Championship Play-Off Final was naturally a major disappointment for Villa fans because all the hard work from last season was undone.

They also had to face another season in the Championship after believing they were going to return to the Premier League at the second time of asking.

However, that loss had much bigger ramifications for the club.

Dr Xia was gambling on promotion with significant investment in the squad in terms of transfer fees and, most importantly, the wage bill. Therefore, they are now at serious financial risk with Financial Fair Play sanctions likely.

They now have a tax bill to deal with in the immediate future as well as loans in the long-term, so the club will undergo significant changes in the summer to deal with that including an overhaul of the squad in order to make it a lot more financially sustainable. This has obviously angered Villa fans who are annoyed at the risks that Dr Xia took, with a lot turning on him because of that.
