Club affected by Premier League and Uefa financial fair play‘It’s crazy. We’re going to have to deal with what we’ve got’Ezri Konsa has said that football’s spending regulations “killed” Aston Villa during a difficult summer transfer window.

The club were open to selling Emiliano Martínez only for there to be no buyer and moved Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle for £39m despite Unai Emery preferring to keep him.

In a football business already swamped with cash and opportunists eager to get their mitts on as much of it as they can, it ought to come as no surprise that the very top players, clubs and Peterborough try to maximise their income by making their personal “brands” off limits to potential counterfeiters, bootleggers and other ne’er-do-wells.I don’t want any players who don’t want to come to the club.
