Aston Villa have entered a new and exciting era following their Europa League triumph last season and the departures of several key players. The Claret & Blue podcast has also got some exciting changes ahead as it joins the All Out Football stable with a new look for the channel.
Key player departures and potential exits
Morgan Rogers, Youri Tielemans, Ezri Konsa and Lucas Digne have all left the club, while Emi Martinez and Ollie Watkins could also move on in the coming days. Despite these significant changes, with Unai Emery in charge and John McGinn as captain, anything still feels possible.
Villa have a busy end to the summer transfer window ahead following the additions of Johan Manzambi, Joao Gomes, Alejandro Garnacho, Zion Suzuki and Matteo Ruggeri, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also due to join on loan.
Comprehensive coverage promised for 2026/27 season
Nobody knows how the season will unfold for Villa, but what can be promised is comprehensive coverage of Emery's side throughout the 2026/27 campaign. As well as in-depth written coverage, the Claret & Blue podcast team will be bringing listeners several episodes every week.
Expect behind-the-scenes stories, discussions around all the biggest talking points and perhaps even the odd debate or disagreement, as Dan Rolinson and John Townley get to the heart of the topics that matter to fans.
