Unai Emery has transformed Aston Villa from a middling Premier League power into one that’s a force to be reckoned with. NSWE’s ownership has played a crucial role, too, helping turn Villa from Championship dwindlers who were facing a HMRC winding-up order under their last owners, to a club that’s now ranked 14th in the Deloitte Football Money League. A Europa League quarter-final clash against Bologna in April will continue the Villans on course for a historic piece of silverware, while their Premier League performances are also setting them on course to return to the Champions League next season This Master Hub serves as the definitive, one-stop destination for every Villan tracking the transfers, finances, and match analytics defining this historic era. But will Emery still be at the club next season? His future is on a knife-edge, and much will depend upon the club’s financial straitjacket.
