Bill gates is a shareholder (7%) in one of Nassef's companies (OCI)
-
There is one option at promotion, but I don't see these guys hanging around. They will do what's needed and if Xia doesn't contribute he'll be off
-
He really is, his net worth, his business assets net worth and his families net worth are truly mind boggling. In all the years we've craved a Billionaire, this is the kind we could only of dreamed of. Once we go up it could get very interesting indeed. Everyone is overlooking the other guy (apart from his face haha) and his 2.2 bn (which alone was more than Lerner)
-
Trust me there have been plenty over the weeks. I'm cool with it though, people are entitled to post as they please.
-
It's much closer to 30/30/40 (xia) so overall a 60/40 controlling stake.
-
They'll be people on here and elsewhere that can vouch for certain things I've said to them privately, but I'm not really overly fussed what others think or believe in truth bud. In an ideal world we'd all just share what we know, but it's just not worth all the silly posts.
-
I've been looking into that too. I read an article (which I now can't find) about Nassef setting up a Sports company in which to do this kind of thing and I guess as Wes co-owns an NBA team, they may of met that way? There are photos on google with them both at the same location and event name tags etc!! I'd like to know that though, I know they found each other and approached Xia, just not how they know each other.

exactlllyyyyyy!!!!

How very dare you.............I'm a man!!
-
Sure thing ?
-
Totally happy to celebrate the good news and look to the future. Come on Villa!!
-
I don't actually need to answer these, you'll either have to believe me or not (as the case it and that's fine)
-
We have an owner with private jets again. Nassef has at least 2 (these things are important right?) ?
-
Xia was holding out for the best deal for HIM, he got lucky. These guys found him, not the other way round. If holding out for the right ones, was literally a day before Administration then yes I guess so. He could of and should of done something sooner. Wyness is a p**ck, however Xia hasn't been too clever either. So he doesn't get a pass from me. I can't wait for the new guys to take full control.

The deal has and the investment has, they need to as individuals in order to be directors on the board.
-
No, it means he is the guy with the power.
-
It won't be public I don't think (how close we were to Admin) but there is enough out there. I think the new guys will speak out more next week and it won't take long for them to be approved by the EFL. Their people (new guys) have been to BMH today, not hanging around. My 'guess' is they may come to terms to release Bruce IF they have a manager lined up, if not I guess he gets time (purely a guess though)

One of Nassef Sawiris Buisnesses (OCI) has Bill Gates as a Shareholder. What I like about these two is they are both traceable, they both have their companies listed on Stock Exchanges, so lot's of transparency. It's early days, but these guys could be very good for us. I'm excited
-
Yes, he won't be around too long. Silently disappear into the night at some point I'd imagine. Too many owners won't play well together. Let's face it, he's never here and done a terrible job, so these guys won't keep him around (IMO)
-
100%
-
We literally would have been in Administration Monday...and now we won't, oh and a couple of VERY rich people have taken a controlling stake in us.....apart from that, nothing mate
-
Yeah 40:40:20 isn't true
-
If this deal wasn't done we were in Administration Monday. This group has been in DD for some time. It's great news I think. Even if we sell Grealish now it will be for full market value as opposed to a bargain fee so Xia can avoid admin. These two guys will be directors on the board and will have to pass the Directors and owners test. If it was a 'loan' or just investment they wouldn't need too.
