Villa reached the final of the FA Cup last season but finished 17th in the league, narrowly avoiding relegation last May.
Now the former European champion is stranded at the bottom of the Premier League and facing relegation. The loss of 57.3 million pounds followed a 1.6 million pound profit in 2013-14.
American owner Randy Lerner is trying to sell the central England club.
