Vidagany pledges Villa fight through PSR limits after Ramsey exit
Aston Villa’s director of football operations, Damian Vidagany, has told supporters the club will provide Unai Emery with the strongest squad possible while staying within financial rules. The summer window has been quiet so far, with only Marco Bizot and Evann Guessand arriving, as Villa deal with the fallout of Jacob Ramsey’s transfer to Newcastle for about 44 million pounds. Villa will receive an initial 39 million pounds for Ramsey, with up to 5 million more in add-ons.

"Absolutely PSR makes it more difficult"

"The system is forcing clubs to sell their academy players"
Vidagany on PSR effect on club strategy
"We, as a club, have the ambition to compete among the best"
Vidagany expressing Villa's aims
Villa’s situation highlights how Profit and Sustainability rules shape how mid-sized clubs operate. Clubs must balance the books and rely on selling academy products to fund growth, even as fans crave immediate on-pitch progress. The Ramsey sale eases the numbers but weakens short-term depth. The window remains two weeks long, and final decisions will reveal whether the club can translate ambition into quick gains without breaking the rules.
Highlights
- PSR rules squeeze growth but they also demand discipline
- Ambition needs time not endless audits
- The game needs space to grow within a fair ledger
- Where there is a rule, there is a way to compete
Villa faces financial rule pressure risks fan backlash
Relying on academy sales to satisfy Profit and Sustainability rules can spark fan frustration and questions about long-term competitiveness. If supporters feel the club prioritizes balance sheets over on-pitch success, scrutiny and criticism could grow.
The window still has weeks left; Villa’s path will hinge on how well the numbers and the squad align.
