Cash-Strapped Aston Villa Could Owe John Terry Over Half a Million Pounds in Wages

Aston Villa's finances have been dealt another blow with the news that they owe John Terry £560,000 in wages unless he finds another club this summer, according to the Telegraph.

Villa reached an agreement with HMRC to delay a £4m payment last week, but another is due at the end of this week and club owner Tony Xia may have to sell shares to produce the necessary funds.

Terry announced that he would leave Villa following their play off final defeat to Fulham last month and his contract officially expires at the end of June, although he is entitled to another month's pay for July.
