The football season feels like it’s been over forever but the all-new Aston Villa Review podcast is just getting started.

Aston Villa announced yesterday that Tyrone Mings has extended his contract to 2027 but no news has yet emerged about a statue.

The club has also welcomed Francesco Calvo, the new President of Business Operations after the departure of Chris Heck, and it’s that side of things that we cover in this episode.

In this week’s AVR we look at the commercial imperative of football clubs that want success, the emotional cost of placing the burden on supporters, and where (and whether) a balance can be adequately struck.

There’s praise for Mings as well as comparisons between Villa and Walthamstow – yes, really – and a little bit of introspection about not going to matches anymore.

Chris Nee and Steven Green discuss all that and more in the second episode as AVR Rides Again!
