He said UTV with such a smile. What a guy. He seems very very invested in the champions league angle there. No mention of the conference league, although clearly led by the interviewer. Very very informed answer about the champions league places (yeah it's easy I know, but it does show he's following the table closely) Suggests that may well be his priority anyway.

The press release for Unai’s deal from Nas mentioned restoring us to those heights. Both are extremely rich and extremely ambitious. It’s also wonderful to see their respective passions for the club. We are truly blessed with these owners who understand that the next big step for us to succeed is CL football financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 24 VT Supporter Share Posted April 24 Edens was quoted not long after they bought us, possibly after the promotion iirc, what his big aim with the club was and the answer was simply 'Champions League'. That's where the money is. That's what he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said UTV with such a smile. What a guy. He's one smart cookie. His knowledge about local, national and global features across multiple industries is staggering, flawlessly moving from one subject to another on the fly. Also seems awake to potential issues with the wars etc. The really really smart successful people are the ones who divest BEFORE shit hits the fan. Then normally reinvest at the bottom of the cycle. This is a one very serious guy. Get Brightside building HS2 to Manchester and Birmingham metro to Star City via Villa Park I say.

JPAngel Posted April 24 VT Supporter Share Posted April 24 I'm always envious of people who can speak as eloquently and as confidently as Edens and this was a great watch. It's awesome to see his pride in what we're achieving this season and, hopefully, for many seasons to come. He even somehow made me give a damn about rail infrastructure on the west coast of the US! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success on the pitch puts more eyes on us. However, that is slowly changing and the sheer ambition of them and financial strength will continue. The project is still in its infancy under Unai.

maqroll Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I'm very pleased that Edens is redeeming the image of American ownership at Villa and the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I love how he can reel off our league position vis a vis Spurs off the top of his head. Easy for a fan to do of course but I think a lot of owners might not necessarily have that information immediately in their heads. Shows how much he's invested in it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy for an owner to have some stock lines about how happy they are and hope to get champions league but it comes across fake. He seemed fully aware and understands fully what’s going on through his own knowledge not having to be told which suggest to me he really follows everything very closely probably from a financial perspective but also as a supporter wanting success for the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
