Aston Villa are set for a serious club overhaul this summer amid their impending relegation
The price of impending relegation has sent shockwaves through Villa Park with the announcement that around 20 per cent of the club's workforce will be cut.
Worried staff attended an emergency meeting at Villa's Holte Suite on Monday, with new chairman Steve Hollis having wasted no time in assessing the need for drastic action as the club prepare for life in the Championship.
A disastrous season has seen Villa rooted at the bottom virtually from the off and relegation is likely to be confirmed this weekend.
That will end almost 30 years in the top flight for the former European champions and staff at Villa Park and the club's Bodymoor Heath training complex will pay the price.
And those facing the loss of their jobs will also point to the £55m spent in the summer on players who have ended up getting the club relegated.
