The pair most likely had other possibilities that would of generated money for them quicker yet it looks like they went for the challenge and one with historical importance to the sport. It certainly seems that we have two owners who will take care in what they do at Villa and are determined to bring our club back to successful ways. Being a gamer and all I enjoy the fact that Wes has his own league of legends team on esports, those teams don't half generate some money, it's crazy exports is. Wes should get an esports fifa team on the go, should bring his dream team of players alive on who he would like to see at aston villa.. Think that's wishful thinking. More that xia was in a mess and it was an opportunity that represented good value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Fortress Investment Group is reported to be in talks with a Danish pension fund LD Fonde to buy its 29 per cent stake in Parken Sport & Entertainment, the events company which owns the club. Wonder how that would affect our club then. Would this mean the swapping of youth talent and an easier scale for which they have to play football and access to more training camps so on???

Tomaszk Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 When Udinese and Watford first linked up, Udinese were definitely the bigger club, but the potential for Watford, purely through being in the English league was always there. Our ceiling is higher than Copenhagen's despite them appearing in the Champions League a few times in the last few years. In conclusion, give us all yer best Scandis.

DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I would be surprised if this is Villa linked given the purchasing vehicle is Edens company, and it is not linked with Sawiris. Interesting that Edens seems to be expanding his portfolio in this area though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkymonkey666 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Wes sold his stake in Fortress a year ago. Not sure if he is still involved in some capacity though. https://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2018/01/03/milwaukee-bucks-wes-edens-completes-sale-of-his.html Quote Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens closed the previously announced sale of the firm he co-founded, Fortress Investment Group LLC, for $3.3 billion in cash to Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp.

Keener window-cleaner Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if Wes or his associates reads what is said about him in supporter forums like this, so let's be respectful and show the class of villa fans while posting about his family eh (not suggesting anyone hasn't been) (damn that was a stiff and boring post!)
