This will definitely spike Villa’s interest, as the owners will make huge profits on their initial investment. Based on the impact he’s made this season, Cash’s departure will be a huge loss for head coach Steven Gerrard and the Lions. However, they will be left with a great transfer budget to revamp their squad.
