# Aston Villa announce £27.3m loss

Aston Villa have filed accounts with company house showing heavy losses of £27.3m, a stark increase on the previous years accounts which saw a £3.9m loss in the year previous.

The report comes as a shock to many, who thought that Randy Lerner’s cost cutting plan was starting to work, in a bid to help create a more sustainable model at the club.

Despite a 7% increase in revenue, administrative costs sky rocketed by over £60m over the course of the year as well as staff costs, rising by just over £3m. Despite these high costs, gate receipts, sponsorships and commercial revenue increased, while a small decrease was seen in revenue brought in from broadcasting.

These figures are a scary sight for many Villa fans, especially with Aston Villa looking down the barrel of a relegation. It seems that Villa’s accounts could be in for another hit.
