They're also at the "we don't really know what to do" stage of being forced to sell all their best players to "bigger" clubs because of financial rules. Isak last year, Tonali and Gordon already this year with Bruno rumored to be trying to force his way to Arsenal. They've already lost three of their top players and are potentially about to lose their most important player. I can't imagine the situation Villa would be in if we were forced to sell Watkins, Rogers, Tielemans and Kamara over the course of two summers.
