Did anyone post this? I thought it relevant:

Top wage bills 23/24:

1. PSG - £553m
2. Manchester City - £465m
3. Real Madrid - £424m
4. Barcelona - £400m
5. Liverpool - £377m
6. Bayern Munich - £361m
7. Manchester United - £360m
8. Chelsea - £332m
9. Arsenal - £320m
10. Aston Villa - £245m

*Source: UEFA Club Licensing Benchmarking Report

The thought did cross my mind earlier in the week just where we would be under Unai Emery if our wage bill was up at the levels of Liverpool and Manchester United. 

It's also quite a big jump from 9th to 10th.

So going by those figures if this season our turnover is £370m ish, perhaps a bit more then we can spend 70% of it on wages to meet the Uefa criteria meaning we can have a wage bill of at least £259m.

🚨 Aston Villa have begun discussions with UEFA’s club financial control body (CFCB) over a financial settlement after being found in breach of the squad cost ratio rules (SCR) last season.

The starting point in negotiations is meant to have been £10m so yes, only a fine, but we're not a small one.

Can it be used in the PSR/FFP calculations??

It's about time we did something naughty. Man C115Y, Chelsea, Manchester United etc have been trying it on for years. Hasn't done Nottingham Forest any harm either has it?

On the basis of this season, that should generate about a fiver.

I could be wrong here, but my understanding was that the fine isn't so much a 'pay money to uefa' thing, rather they dock some your European prize money for the year of the breach.

So it would be bad for ffp as it's reducing our income.
