imavillan Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 If a takeover happens in the very near future, does that mean we do not have to sell players as we will have a cash injection? Sure hope so, other than the leeches we have rotting away in the background that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather the new mega rich arabian fella - A) Throw it all at promotion with two fingers up at FFP come what may <--------------------------------------------------- This bit here Sell Grealish, Try and keep Kodjia but sell if the right bid comes in. Under no circumstances sell Chester. Use money from Grealish for a replacement and do same with Kodjia if we sell. B - sell Grealish and Chester and Kodjia and build sustainably?

Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted July 19, 2018 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2018 On 16/07/2018 at 21:52, NurembergVillan said: We've currently got two strands to our financial issues - 1) Cashflow. Our outgoings are far greater than our income. This will be as a result of wages, deferred payments on incoming transfers (like buying a sofa from DFS), running costs, loan repayments, etc. We need to cut costs AND increase income or we're going to cease to exist as a football club. Any new owner will be able to put some cash in for the short-term to keep the wolf from the door, but we need self-generated income because of - 2) FFP. We are limited in the amount of loss we can make across a 3-year period. We're making a lot of losses, and have done for the last 2 years. This is year 3 and we're losing more money than ever. Even if Sheikh Mansour got bored of Man City and decided to buy us, there's no way around this in the short-term without self-generated income. We could be fined, docked points, or face a transfer embargo. Or all three. Both of the above, especially in combination, mean ANY new owner will likely have to sell off the family jewels. Issue 1) would be resolved by a new owner, but the amount we're losing every month would mean huge sanctions as part of Issue 2). So yes, any new owner could be different to what we've already got AND would need the Grealish funds because the current owner has made a right royal mess of things. Feel like we might need to make this a sticky at the top of the VillaTalk page. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted July 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2018 This bloke isnt likely to be mega rich unfortunately! If he were why would he buy us? What we are is a sound investment, a good chance to turn around a failing business, and will attract a buyer who will reflect that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it makes me angry for a few reasons. We're going to lose Grealish for one, a sad indictment of how low things are. Then you've got the whole FFP thing, which by design is meant to be a preventative measure which as far as I can see is only aiding our demise, so a sad indictment on football if there's any truth to that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood this view regarding Villa. Being megarich, and getting Villa to it's peak potential would be an incredible investment I would feel. Basically the whole Birmingham area and development, plus fanbase and history etc. What made Wolves a better investment than us ffs? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is true, very unlikely it is Futtaim, UAE investment. As mentioned before, BEIN is a Qatari company and you may or may not know that their is a big rift between Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few things, firstly the price was cheaper, second they had the Mendes link plus didn't have the ticking time bomb that was the parachute payments running out with a load of overpaid unusable shite in the bomb squad.

sidcow Posted July 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Megarich become megarich by buying low and selling high. Distressed businesses are brilliant if you have the know how of how to run them properly and turn them around. If you bought Man Utd now it would cost you a shed load of money to buy and be much harder to earn multiples from as very rich and clever people have already been pushing the brand as hard as they can.

chrisp65 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 This is the problem with speaking in emojis. The original story was that Dr X has gone to buy a donut at the Greggs in the middle of East Cheam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
