Aston Villa‘s transformation in the 21st Century is one that’s come full circle. After being a European regular in the 2000s, they rotted under the ownership of Randy Lerner before being relegated from the Premier League for the first time ever in 2015-16. Tony Xia’s ownership almost ended in disaster before NSWE swooped in and restored Villa to their former glory, with the help of Unai Emery as manager. After returning to the Champions League last season, Aston Villa are now ranked 14th in the Deloitte Football Money League and European silverware this term beckons after setting up a Europa League semi-final against Nottingham Forest. However, a 1-0 loss in the first leg may have put Villa’s hopes of reaching the final in doubt. 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.
Aston Villa Football Club
Founded in 1874 by members of the Aston Villa Wesleyan Chapel, the club became the primary innovator of English football. In 1888, Villa director William McGregor founded the Football League, forever changing the sport. The club’s greatest era culminated in 1982, when they defeated Bayern Munich to lift the European Cup, cementing their place among the continent’s elite.
