The Fun Factory Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Slightly reminds me when Bates sold Chelsea to Abramovich back in 2003. By all accounts they were very close to going to administration before they massively lucked out on Abramovich and the rest as they say is history.

If we are getting good money for them and providing we are lining up better replacements then why not.. Still interested to see where though. Twitter has a lot of people saying Chester is very close and Adomah is just interest. Also a lot of people saying it doesn't matter how rich our new owners are FFP still has to be be dealt with and you cant just throw money at it so player sales could still be needed. FFP has me furious the more i think about it too, cripple clubs in the EFL but clubs in the prem can just guy the league what a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silently disappear into the night at some point I'd imagine. Too many owners won't play well together. Let's face it, he's never here and done a terrible job, so these guys won't keep him around (IMO) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire club is worth the same as Hulk, or John Stones and slightly less Oscar. Which is why it’s a bargain for big players. Problem is it’s Villa so it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Loan em this season with a right to buy at the end (similar to Mbeppe deal). Or sign who we need.. and pay a wee bit of the fee now, the rest staggered to keep in line. I am sure there might be other ways round it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheEgo Posted July 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2018 One of Nassef Sawiris Buisnesses (OCI) has Bill Gates as a Shareholder. What I like about these two is they are both traceable, they both have their companies listed on Stock Exchanges, so lot's of transparency. It's early days, but these guys could be very good for us. I'm excited 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Ive been scouring the web looking for dirt on our new owners, check bankruptcy cases, deals they have made, business they have been involved with - I have uncovered one piece concerning both owners which may be cause for concern Neither of them are vegetarians ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would actually rather they decayed and rotted to nothing than allow someone to make it worth their while investing large sums of money in restoring them if they decide to make the alterations you would reasonably expect someone to make when doing up an old building. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are keeping well mate - maybe this time our ship has sailed in - great news mate - now I can go back to my holiday and crack open a few bottles until aug 4th - interesting to see what our team is and who is manager - Henry would be a bold move but could be fantastic too . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Looking at the pedigree of these two you’d think they’d see through a chancer crook like Wyness in seconds. Just from looking at his face CEO, sporting director and/or managerial appointments will define our future for the next 2 season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
