A perfect storm brewing at the Villa

£40-£50M annual savings required to stay clear of FFP.

Average wages of £30K/week with a host of expensive contracts on some not very good players.

And an owner who may be looking for the exit door.

Not good times for a cornerstone club of English football.

Perhaps last Saturday's tough match against Leicester had drained a lot physically and emotionally from the team.

Certainly Leicester were not on top form last evening.

I thought Conte, who sounded like a performing parrot from the touch line, did a first class job tactically on Burnley.
