Not trying to put a dampener on the best owners we have ever had but it does concern me in the mid to long term . When they do leave I have no doubt they’ll leave us in a good position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to say that about Randy, to be fair. You can't say anything with certainty like that..they may get bored and sell up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a loser mentality if I am being honest, they aren't that way incline if you judge them on their business acumen & history. They do not have decade long emotional connection to Villa but they do have personal pride & ambition which is more important for our club. NSWE have put their names to this venture, they will see it through until the end IMO. We will reach the mountain top. Besides. they have only just begun in my opinion. They are winners that are looking to progress season on season. And have, more importantly, seen progress season on season since acquiring the club. Any sign of regression or trouble they will make tough calls, not give up and pull the plug. They have earned my trust. The club is a lot healthier than when they took over. Two very intelligent businessmen, who have a burning desire to see Villa succeed and are willing to put investment in infrastructure to see that develop. I suspect they knew the costs before even taking over the club, they knew what it will financially incur. Even if they left tomorrow, they have achieved a lot in a small space of time that they deserve credit for and fans should be thankful for. Enjoy the ride & have faith, do not be too negative man about the future. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting frustrated with Lerner when we signed Harewood 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about what might happen in the future. Just enjoy what's happening now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QldVilla Posted August 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2021 I don’t think their going anytime soon, the quotes have been about making the club self-sufficient and you don’t become successful businessmen by selling when you get bored.

Hope it’s not true, but would not be surprised if that day comes sooner than later. As I wrote previously, there comes a time when it hits these owners that everything is stacked in favor of the top clubs and you need to invest billions, not just millions, to compete.

villa4europe Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I'd be surprised if we were anywhere near profitable for him, whereas give it 2 to 3 years longer and we might be He's an investor, we are growing and are way off our plateau or a good sales value, he sits on us for a few years, invests less on players, more effort in partners and bigger sponsorship deals he starts to take money out of us, even if we just sit in 11th for the next 5 years his return would increase as our revenue would too I don't know his world but it wouldn't make a lot of sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
