Cash flow analysis: Aston Villa's new deep-pocketed owners financed a £100 million promotion show

Aston Villa incurred the highest loss recorded by a Championship club in at least ten years, emphasising the need for new capital - apparently not available from their previous owner.

Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens, the current owners who came to the rescue at the beginning of the 2018/19 season, injected £106 million into the club during their first ten months of ownership.

The pair have further shown their commitment by funding another season with capital requirements well above the £100 million mark.
