Villan4Life Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) https://www.bt.dk/fodbold/se-billederne-sovende-engelsk-kaempe-paa-besoeg-i-danmark-forhandler-om-koeb-af Quote The English tradition club Aston Villa was in Lyngby on Monday afternoon to look at the conditions before a possible Superliga club purchase. 'Not for sale'. This was the word of the rescue team behind Lyngby Boldklub Sunday evening at 20 o'clock. 20 hours later, 'Friends of Lyngby' and the club's new director, Birger Jørgensen, sat at table with top management from the English tradition club Aston Villa. On the agenda: The Englishman's possible purchase of the Superliga club last week. At 16 o'clock monday afternoon, BT's photographer caught Aston Villa management and Birger Jørgensen on the way to the negotiating table at Lyngby Stadium. The Birmingham club, who has won the English championship seven times, had sent the very heavy shoot to Denmark. The club's director, Keith Wyness, was flanked by Finance Director Ian Hopson and Head of Commercial Affairs, Luke Organ. In addition, the Championship giant also had massive legal assistance with Denmark, where the English top management was shown around Lyngby's facility. BT's sources say that Aston Villas's plan with Lyngby is to take over the majority, while maintaining the new owner's circle at the table. If a purchase is made, Aston Villa will therefore have the controlling power, while at the same time drawing on the local connection and know-how that the newly acquired Investor Relations' Friends of Lyngby has. "We do not come to clean up, but to develop the club further, after local business people have done a good job. We believe that we can help develop and run the club better than it has been driven for some years, and it is, among other things, what we come to Denmark to be sure of. We still need to meet Lyngby's leadership face to face, and then we'll look closely at the finances before we say yes, "said Keith Wyness, Aston Villa director last week.

Villan4Life Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Quote Villa, and the meeting, according to the owners "Friends of Lyngby", went well. Lyngby Boldklub was completely out on the edge of the abyss, but at the last moment a group of local investors came to an end and lifted it away from the edge. But although the future of the club is financially secure, it is not necessarily clarified. For more parties are still interested in buying into the Superliga club, including a group with former Brøndby chairman and FC Copenhagen shareholder Aldo Petersen at the forefront. Also other football clubs have reported their interest, and the other day were leading characters from Aston Villa visiting Lyngby. Among other things, they were shown around at the club's facility, and they met with both 'Friends of Lyngby', as the new owners call themselves, and the local municipality. The meetings went well and the English left Denmark with the interest intact. "We had a good meeting with Aston Villa management. We have shown them our Lyngby DNA both on the pitch and at powerpoint. They seemed interested in our club and they went home with a positive impression after their meeting with the municipality, too, says Friends of Lyngby spokesman Mads Byder to BT. Byder confirms that there is "foreign interest from different sides", but does not want to mention any names. One side should be Club Brugge, as BT mentioned yesterday. 'Friends of Lyngby' entered Friday with the needed capital for the distressing club who had not paid their employees salary for January. The club was also organized by SKAT and could look forward to a meeting in court on Tuesday, where it risked being declared bankrupt. https://www.tipsbladet.dk/nyhed/superliga/lyngby-ejere-aston-villa-virkede-interesserede-i-klubben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post David-Copenhagen Posted February 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2018 I know it has been written before by DanishLad, but I just want to echo what he said. Lyngby is one of the few elite clubs in Denmark that historically have really good youth teams. What they have been lacking has been a successful first team, (read rich) to keep the players in the Club. The other clubs around Copenhagen are able to pay far more and have also started to emulate what Lyngby have been doing for years. Lyngby have an OK stadium and decent training facilities. They are well placed to get talent from around Copenhagen to play for them, because of the good infrastructure of the area. It is very easy to get to them. When I played there (long time ago :-) ) - I had team mates from all over Sealand traveling to play for Lyngby. I really hope this deal goes through. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more he doesn’t seem to be the sharpest tool in the box. I’m not slagging him off, more I just find it baffling that one can get that high up in the business world without being able to spell...fair dos to him, he knows how to get there and I don’t... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In slightly related news perhaps we can borrow this idea from another Danish club (Hobro IK) Yes that it actually from a real league game against FC Köbenhavn 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking for positivity and endeavour, as well as a good feeling and forward thinking, you've come to the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You love to bring him uneccesarily into the conversation. He came he saw he **** up... I get it... Move on ! Your right though in the respect that under our previous owner we had no plan after two seasons and missed and wasted a huge opportunity not putting something like this in place earlier and then neglecting the club. No denying that... let's hope Xia pull its off ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you connected to Lerner? Be upfront if you are, because I hold no anger against Lerner anymore, he was a man out of his depth who should never run a sports team ever again. So if you are linked, cool, I hope he is healthy and well and I am sure we all hope for a more prosperous future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
