GENTLEMAN Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Micky Arison is selling lots and lots of shares, £225,000,000 worth in fact I have read about that Wang Jianlin (DW Group) fella making a lot of international purchases recently. Hopefully Aston Villa is on his shopping list. Edited June 12, 2014 by GENTLEMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaHatesMe Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Wouldn't read too much into Arison. He said back in February that he was planning on selling 10 million of his shares for "tax, estate and diversification purposes." So this is likely just him getting money to invest elsewhere, as it still leaves him as majority shareholder in Carnival. LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Aston Villa is on his shopping list. I was wonering if they were the Chinese group who Mysteryman reckons were interested. I know he said they had been previously linked to West Ham but I couldn't find anything on the internet at least, so maybe he got West Ham mixed up with Southampton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said they had the money but the problem is the exclusivity period being six months. Edited June 12, 2014 by GENTLEMAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Steve Wynn? Edit - I been told this guy is closing in on a deal for the club. Any other person heard about this Wynn fella? He is trying to get a casino built in suburban Boston with backing from Robert Kraft of New England Patriots...I doubt hes interested, unless Kraft is playing apart in it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobovillain Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Steve Wynn? Edit - I been told this guy is closing in on a deal for the club. Any other person heard about this Wynn fella? I would love it just love it. He's a legend in Vegas, and has built some of the most amazing hotels out there and just as importantly (with no expense spared) If he could implement just a fraction of that talent on the villa, we'll be flying and not least to say one of the most fashionable clubs in the US to go along with that too. Chance of this happening IMO - 1/10 Why would he? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
