sne Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 €14.5m is the all time record fee payed by a MLS side. They are more about paying big-ish salaries to older stars than about paying big transfer fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're joking and no one wants to be that guy, but unfortunately the MLS owns player registrations. I believe the league also contributes to transfers, so we'd have to convince them of the exposure and subsequent benefits a certain player could bring.

OutByEaster? Posted March 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 25, 2022 With the US looking to push a huge amount of LNG into the EU as part of efforts to reduce the use of Russian gas, does anyone know if this is good news for LNG supplier Fortress Energy, who have been trying to get a port facility for LNG built in Shannon for the past couple of years? Wes Edens has a very big focus on LNG and LNG infrastructure and I'd have thought there might be a fair chance that he'll be a beneficiary of this process of erm...'rebalancing' Europe. Could we have Putin to thank for paying Coutinho's wages next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in LNG construction and I've seen absolutely nothing I can tell you though that planning is a nightmare in general, this big German one that the government stepped in and awarded on the spot last week was in year 2 of the planning process yet another 2 or 3 expected before this all happened Edited March 25, 2022 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full match had been on youtube but seems to have been taken down now. I know it was only the play offs but its the only time I have seen Villa 'win' anything live. I thought they might have sent something as a season review to season ticket holders at the start of 19/20 but they didn't. It was a remarkable season really, full of ups and downs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatest day at a live game for me. It even tops the 1980/81 league championship as a day out. The whole story, smith the villa fan, the defeat the season before , the winding up order in that very summer , Tammys Goals, - Just a very emotional day for me.

Tony Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Interestingly noted that Wes Edens net worth has jumped to circa $4 billion (per Forbes). Quite the rise considering it was only estimated at around $1 billion a year ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) NSWE owners have a net worth of $12.3b as per Forbes. That puts us third. Behind Saudi Arabia and The UAE. Quote Nassef Sawiris is an investor and a scion of Egypt's wealthiest family. His most valuable asset is a nearly 6% stake in sportswear maker Adidas. https://www.forbes.com/profile/nassef-sawiris/ Wes Edens : Quote Wesley Edens cofounded asset manager Fortress Investment Group in 1998. He remains with the firm as its chairman. https://www.forbes.com/profile/wesley-edens/?sh=2ad9eeb67532 Wes Edens recent jump from $1.2b to $4b is interesting .

And none of that great day at Wembley would’ve been possible without NSWE saving our bacon some few months previously. We really have hit the jackpot with these guys 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really have hit the jackpot with these guys Its bought even more to the light when you realise whats happened to the 2 teams that finished above us that year. Even had we have gone up the year before in all likelihood we would be back in the championship right now in a pretty bad way!
