Aston Villa’s former chairman Randy Lerner will receive 30million after the club won promotion to the Premier League following their win over Derby County at Wembley on Monday.The payment relates to Lerner’s sale of the club to Chinese billionaire Dr Tony Xia when Villa were relegated in 2016, which included a ‘three-year promotion bonus’.getty2

Lerner will receive 30m after Aston Villa won promotion

Xia paid an initial 76.2m for the club and a clause was included stating that Lerner, who took control of Villa in 2006, would be paid an extra 30m, if the club achieved promotion back to the top-flight in the desired time frame.Lerner will also be given a further 10m if Villa avoid the drop in their first campaign back. However, that amount, plus the 6m bonus the players will get for winning promotion, is small change for Villa who won the match dubbed ‘the richest in football.’Deloittes Sports Business Group has forecast that promotion to the Premier League is worth 170m over the next three years, and more than 300m over five years if the club is successful against relegation in the first season.Goals either side of half-time from Anwar El Ghazi and John McGinn put Villa firmly in control, but Jack Marriotts strike in the 81st minute, which was deflected by Martyn Waghorn, ensured a nervy finish for Dean Smith’s side who held on for victory.getty2
