All of the top current Aston Villa stories including, an FFP twist with midfielder, IFAB news and an injury blow to defender.
FFP twist means Aston Villa midfielder could stay
FFP has been a name on all fan’s lips throughout the 2023/24 season. Multiple clubs have already been affected by it with Everton and Nottingham Forest facing point deductions.
Villa also have their concerns after it was announced that they lost nearly £120 million last season. As a result, there were fears that they would lose Douglas Luiz to ease these issues.
However, Unai Emery’s side may have found a way to navigate the issue through a new sponsorship deal.

IFAB news
Emery has dished out some great football since coming to Villa Park. With the club fighting relegation when he first entered the training ground, he has now turned them into potential European champions.
Much of this is down to his style of play with the first-team squad playing a high line and catching multiple players offside.
However, the beautiful game looks like it could be changing again with the IFAB looking to make alterations to the offside rule which would spell disaster for Villa.
