    V Sport Investments Ltd - More Villa Clubs around the world?

    in Villa Talk

    Posted

    Good article by John Towley regards the new board members. Talks alot about Comcast and stadium improvements, interesting that Michael Angelakis still acts as a senior advisor to the senior executive committee at Comcast 🤔

    ...significant deal which Villa's chiefs have struck in recent years is with Atairos. The strategic investment company will become a minority partner in Villa's holding company V Sports, who will continue to own 100 per cent of the club and will continue to have full control of all decisions.

    Atairos’ capital investment will primarily be used to fund growth and infrastructure investments, with the aim of creating material and sustainable value for Villa and the broader V Sports network. Atairos is said to be worth $6.5bn, and Villa claim the link-up positions them "firmly for an exciting next phase of growth."

    The addition of four new directors to the Villa board was confirmed days after the key agreement was cemented. Strong leaders always surround themselves with good people - take Emery as an example - and Sawiris and Edens have done just that with the appointments of Atairos chairman and chief executive, Michael Angelakis; managing director of Atairos, Chester Hall; plus Canadian Bashir Lebada and American Sarah Watterson.

    In a statement provided to accompany the confirmation of the Atairos deal, Sawiris and Edens commented: “We are excited to enter this partnership with Atairos, which will provide capital to fund infrastructure investments and drive growth and sustainable value for AVFC and the broader V Sports network over time.

    I think you're missing what OP is saying.  It isn't "£400m on transfers", it's "£400m on everything including transfers (amortised) and wages and staff costs and buying toilet roll and..."

    Ah that's okay NSWE will just buy Costco and we'll have as much bog roll in bulk as we want.

    how on earth is it fair or reasonable for clubs in Europe to have to reach a 70% cap, while all the other non european teams can go to 85%?

    thats mental.

    I guess because UEFA see clubs competing in Europe as a sides who get more global exposure, TV money, hence the knocking of more revenue compared to sides outside europe. Surely the UEFA cap should be based on having the players you register for their competitions wage cap equal 70% but you can have the 85% for domestic competition? That to me is a balanced compromise.

    IIf I look at that chart that Maguire tweeted it's all about certain levels and current squad strength as well. So we can spend £211m compared to, say, Everton who can spend £250m, or Brentford who can spend £353m.

    However, for what these clubs need to spend to get to where we are you'd say they'll get short changed, whereas for our £211m and the revenue from CL, Adidas and Betano sponsorship and more, we can buy fewer players but higher quality as the squad is at such a higher level, along with a higher level manager and coaching staff. We've players out long term to come back as well. We're now at the level in fairness Spurs should have been over the period it's took us to get up and get to this level of competing, ie great squad and now can have a summer and January strategy. Hell we've shown this season we have... A couple of big deals in the summer and look at gems in January.

    The plan is in place, as shown this season by the Don and Monchi. They won't be phased by these new changes. They've an obvious plan. Rogers is proof of that.

    And if you're a player. Do you join champions league Aston Villa and play for Emery or Everton and Dyche or Brentford and Frank having seen how much Emery improves you as a player. Look at Ollie, Dibu, Dougie, the quick rise of Rogers JJ, I could go on.

    We'll be fine.

    Yep - the chap with the twitter thread has missed the big fundamental rule that comes in first (I did too).

    This is interesting:

     

    Looks like Chelsea are the team most at risk in this.

    The key to this chart is, okay, let's say we can spend £211m compared to say, Everton spending £250m, I know who I'd rather trust to find bargains and unearth gems, Monchi and Don Unai. Plus we're putting things in place to raise revenue anyway. It's crap but there are ways round it with great recruitment for one. It's what Monchi does.

    We've guaranteed Europa league with that point and have every chance of champions league. With this squad that has already been depleted before kick off.

    It is a superb season no matter what happens in the next 3 games plus the European games.a

    Let us appreciate the incredible job done this season.
