I think I read one of our new owners (Sawiris) is CEO of a massive fertiliser business worth €5bn, maybe they could sponsor the pitch?

I agree it would be a good thing to sponsor, as you say the pitches these days are superb compared to back in the late 80's and early 90's (Anyone remember our sand pitch back iin the early 90's?, I doubt anyone would want to take credit for that ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2018 Well basically they said nothing, pretty much just read out the club statement to the camera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 It would have been nice to hear about the target for this season, whether they will be appointing a CEO, new scouting structure, do we have to sell players, etc. We still don’t really know anything yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 So sticking with Bruce which is probably the most sensible move for now given all the other changes. I want/expect to see the rest of the top positions sorted in the coming weeks so that once we get into the season if/when a change of manager is needed there are experienced people in place to do it / have already planned for it. Time to get professional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEgo Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 What's the chances of having two multi billionaires owning us that BOTH have a lazy right eye?! The video was fine, you can see they were asked to put 'something' out and as a result we got a awkward (ish) generic (albeit it nice) quick video. I'm sure we will hear a lot more about their vision after they have undertaken a full review and had more than a few days to buy the club and get the keys, so to speak. Keeping Bruce wouldn't have been my preferred choice, but I totally get it (I'm afraid to go in the Bruce thread) On balance it's a sensible and pragmatic approach (a novelty when it comes to Villa owners) He will be on a very short leash though. I suspect they might want their own man anyway, so it's a win win. if he fails, they've had time to properly scout a replacement and if he succeeds, great!! I like these two, they feel like 'real' owners and only REALLY rich people wear a suit like Wes Edens haha!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
