Aston Villa recorded a loss of more than £81 million for the last financial year, the club's latest accounts have revealed.
Figures for the 2015-16 period show that with an operating loss of £81.3m the deficit more than trebled, up from £26.6m, before Villa were relegated from the Premier League.
The club's statement shows losses of £79.6m due to "exceptional items."
Turnover fell from £115.7m in 2014-15 to £108.8m, with the club attributing the drop in revenue to a reduction in their share of money from the Premier League's broadcasting agreements as a result of the final league standings.
