CVByrne Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 You would imagine Lotus Health sponsorship would be a way to pump funds into Villa and get around Financial Fair Play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Maybe he'll sponsor the mascots instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 That's great and all, but I hope in his quest to "Listen to fans" we on't end up things which cost us valuable money, players, mangers etc. THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Makes sense as Naming rights deals are means tested against other deals within the league. As as we are not a prem team anymore DR X couldn't just get one of his companies to sponsor us for say £5-£10 mill per season to circumnavigate FFP or whatever it's called down there. Derby get £700'00 per season from ipro for example. Best wait to we are an established top half prem team before considering selling our history.

alreadyexists Posted May 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2016 The problem with 'listening to the fans' you have to treat the fans as one whole group who all share the same opinion and ambition, from reading VT for a while it is abundantly clear that this is not the case. We're a disparate group of people from many different back grounds, opinions, and persuasions who's pretty much only unifying factor is we support the same football club. So who do you listen to, the ones that shout the loudest, the ones who make the most eloquent of responses or the one's which have the most money, etc.? I think some things are usually worse when decided by committee, they lose definition and focus and become vague when trying to please everyone. I think a vision is usually best implimented by a single person... But where does that leave us fans? This might not be the thread to discuss that, so apologies it that's the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
