Aston Villa Warns Staff Cuts Are Necessary With Relegation Looming

Aston Villa has warned staff "there will be job cuts due to the club's impending relegation from the Premier League," according to the PA. The club said that "every effort" would be made to reduce staff numbers through voluntary redundancy, but admitted "compulsory redundancies could be necessary." A Villa statement said, "Aston Villa Football Club can confirm it has updated all staff on the proposed changes to the club structure in order to put it back on a firm footing. These changes will result in a headcount reduction, but every effort will be made through a voluntary scheme, to mitigate as much as is possible, the need for compulsory redundancies. ... We recognise this is an extremely difficult time for all staff and the club will offer support to all staff affected" (PA, 4/11).
