Stevo985 Posted March 9, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) I'm interested to see what Sherwood's transfer targets will be in the summer. Having never purchased a player before I wonder what he goes for? He does seem to promote youth heavily so maybe some of the 'young and hungry' players from the lower leagues? It'll be like the cycle starting again! I can imagine him being overly ambitious with his transfer targets. Not sure if that will be a good thing or not.

Neil Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Except he wrote off most of the debt, didn't he? I doubt it would have been most, and when you factor in the cost price to buy aston villa vs the proposed "for sale" price he'll be making sure he's not left too out of pocket... I really despise the way this man has gone about everything from start to finish, of course the early spend at the time I wasn't grumbling about but in hindsight that has been costly for aston villa. This man has paid to delist the club, now accountable to absolutely no-body and after an influx of cash has dripped the club dry over the following years. To me it has all the earmark of only ever seeing the club as a financial venture, that backfired and now we've had to pay. For all his sins, the guy could leave the club having sold it for more than twice the price of what he paid for it if we manage to stay up. I'm no fan of Lerner at all, but you really are talking rubbish. You have to factor in the price of what he paid for the club and all the money he has spent since. Even if he did get double what he paid it for it, he'd still be massively out of pocket. He paid £60odd million, we don't know what the asking price is but some £200million was touted. Tot up all the money he's loaned, and you say he's written off half of the loans...waht about the other half, won't be surprised to see some of them + interest being repaid somewhere along the line.

TS has certainly made an impact - and 2nd half v WBA we actually looked like a football team - no moan about injuries - just prepare what you have - and insist on 110% effort...

Neil Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I've said it before but its baffling that some fans still think Lerner is making money from Villa. He's a crap owner, but one thing you can't say is that he's taking money out of the club. He (or the trust) has lost millions. I agree, and I've not once said he is going to be making money...but I'm sure he had a dream of such at one point. Villa faded with that dream... I merely do no believe that he will be out of pocket as some much as you might think, when a club has debt and it comes to reselling it is not a good prospect. Writing them down suddenly makes the books look a lot nicer to potential buyers, with the aim to try and negotiate some of what you "wrote down" as part of the increased sale price. As far as I know the latest books aren't even released yet, we may even see debt repayments surface if they haven't already? If we manage to stay up, with all the new sky money etc...we'll probably be a decent buy for someone who wants to get into the premier league. And Mr Lerner won't leave too broken...

Show your workings please I meant to include the caveat "potential sale price". And I've written in my posts already that we don't know the for sale price, but it was touted somewhere £200m and bought for £60m or so. This price was touted before the latest sky deal, and a lot is going to factor on staying up now...but we haven't sold as yet so we can only presume the higher end of the touted prices has been a stumbling block so far. Either way, not a bad plan to be exiting with a comfortable return for a billionaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine him being overly ambitious with his transfer targets. Not sure if that will be a good thing or not. Yeah, I can imagine that! "I fancy this Pogba lad." I'm actually terrified he'll go for some bollocks from Spurs like Mason and Adebayor. I wouldn't mind Townsend, before his wrist injury last season, he was incredible for Spurs. He improves the more he plays. Levy would take us to the cleaners though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
