lets play a game!!#pl and @FA_PGMOL only deemed one of these four challenges worthy of a penalty! can you guess which one?😁

From 2 January 2026, Congestion Charge changes will come into effect for electric vehicles 🚙🔋 A tiered electric vehicle discount will apply for Auto Pay users. Instead of the full daily £18 charge: Electric vans, HGVs and quadricycles: pay £9 (50% off). Electric cars: pay £13.50 (25% off). These changes will help manage congestion in central London.

Here's what this UEFA settlement means for #AVFC in simple terms: We broke their spending rules and now face a 3-year punishment period that will severely limit our transfer activity. The basics: Villa spent too much relative to our income in 2023/24. UEFA particularly scrutinized our player swap deals (think Douglas Luiz-Iling Junior exchange - Dobbin-Tim / Maatsen - Kellyman ) and made specific adjustments to our finances. The targets we must hit: •2025/26: Maximum €5m loss •2026/27: Break even (€0 loss) •2027/28: Full compliance with spending rules Miss these targets by more than €20m and we're banned from European competition for three seasons. That's the nuclear option. The transfer restrictions hurt most: We can only register new players for European competition if we sell players worth more than we spend. So if we sell for €40m, we can only spend €40m on replacements. This applies unconditionally next season, then conditionally based on whether we hit our financial targets. The fines: €5m guaranteed, plus up to €15m more if we miss targets. Could reach €20m total if we mess up badly. What this means practically: Villa must become a selling club short-term. No more £50m Onana signings without major sales first. The good news: If we comply early (hit targets by 2026), we can exit the settlement regime ahead of schedule. Miss by small amounts and penalties scale proportionally. Bottom line: Villa's transfer strategy is in handcuffs for three years. Every signing must be balanced by sales, every target must be hit, or we face European exile. #AVFC @danbardell @johntownley11 @Alex_Berwick @KieranMaguire @ClaretBluePod @AVFCStatto
