Great gesture from the club, so many lower league teams struggling at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Can't make this up - rival bid to NSWE calling themselves Las Vegas Heroes https://sbisoccer.com/2021/08/prospective-ownership-group-to-use-name-las-vegas-heroes-as-mls-expansion-race-heats-up-in-sin-city Quote Sin City is gaining momentum as a potential MLS destination, and the recent news that a prospective ownership group had filed a trademark for the name Las Vegas Villains, presumably to be used as part of an MLS expansion bid, generated headlines last week. There is more than one group trying to bring MLS to Las Vegas though, and sources tell SBI that one of the prominent ownership groups in the race for MLS expansion in Las Vegas has filed for a trademark of the name Las Vegas Heroes… The Villains group includes billionaires Wes Edens and Nassef Sawiris, co-owners of English Premier League club Aston Villa. Edens is also co-owner of recently-crowned NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks. While the Villains group has garnered more publicity in recent weeks and months, the Heroes group is an equally strong contender, which would explain why Garber stopped short of calling the Villains group the frontrunner in the Las Vegas market. “I wouldn’t say there’s any [leading candidate] at this point,” Garber told ESPN about the competing bids in Vegas. “Wes Eden’s is one of the most respected investors and operators, and clearly a really, really successful sports team owner. I happen to like him a lot personally. We’ve been intrigued by what a possibility could be with him, but it’s way too premature to talk about it anymore than that.” What is growing increasingly clear is that there is shaping up to be a good battle for MLS expansion in Las Vegas between a group named the Villains and a group named the Heroes. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Didn't know where else to put this, but after seeing Brentford's lineup yesterday, and Wolves always, one thing I'm really proud of is how we are really supporting English football. Of our 11 starters yesterday, 7 are English, and really I'd say it's 8 as big Emi has been in England since he was 18ish. Players that were missing yesterday? McGinn (Home Nations), Traore (moved to England at 17), Bailey (make your own interpretation of Jamaica-UK ). Even our promising youngsters are mostly English. I know the Premier League is global and we want to see the world's best players, but I'm much happier with our squad demographics than e.g. Wolves FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Our broadcast revenue will cover most (if not all) of our running costs so a loan could be for a small top up, or to cover transfer instalments before the next City payment covers them. It's a business. Plenty of well run, profitable businesses take small bridging loans. Who knows, maybe Edens does want out, but a loan would indicate nothing of the sort. It would also be pretty weird timing after enjoying unlikely success with his other sports team so recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's a negligible amount for a short period of time. Tbh I don't think it would be a big issue even if Edens did want to sell up. From what we've heard about the Grealish negotiations Nas appears to be more hands on. For a man of his wealth it may also be restrictive for each investment needing to be matched by your partner. It's also coming from a less than 1 month old Twitter account, so may not be true at all. Source: "What's this ".

OutByEaster? Posted September 8, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 8, 2021 Found it - interesting to note that it's against the AVFC Ltd rather than the Villa parent company - I'm not sure why they'd do or whether that tells us anything about what the money might be for.

I have read it all the way through and it appears to be a floating charge against all of our incoming income, Basically it will be month-to-month money to keep the club afloat Edited September 8, 2021 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure of the significance of registering it against AVFC and not NSWE, I wouldn’t think it makes big difference. What’s interesting is that the loan seems to be secured not only against 21/22 merit payments ( which are paid in May) but also against 22/23 Equal share payments. Am I getting it right? this would suggest, larger, longer term loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
