Aston Villa fans have reacted to the latest news coming out of the club, with a huge change expected ahead of next season.
It’s been a fascinating year at Aston Villa, as the club have made significant progress since the arrival of manager Unai Emery.
As the 2024/25 season edges closer, the reality that Villa will be playing in the Champions League next term is setting in.

With a booming academy and a women’s team on the up, the entire club is thriving at present, with the latest announcement coming from Villa only reinforcing that.
