How do clubs raise money?

Football clubs primarily raise money through matchday revenue like ticket and hospitality sales at Villa Park, broadcasting deals for Premier League matches, and commercial activities such as sponsorships and merchandise. Player transfers, like Nicolas Jackson's, also generate significant funds. This income covers operational costs and allows for investment in the squad.
