MWARLEY2 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Still doing everything on and off the pitch to improve us. About to sink £100 mill into a new North Stand . I am guessing here but that will probably take their investment to over £400 million so far. Mental for a team that finished 14th. We are very very lucky 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) I wonder how Villa Las Vegas will be funded as it’s a $325mill buy into the MLS before stadium costs, training facilities, oh and a squad… That’s gunna be $800mill + project… Context citeh paid $100mill for NYCFC in 2015 and no stadium yet… Citeh have also just paid €13million for 80odd % of Palermo FC… Put into perspective, for the cost of a Nakamba. Or the profit from selling one of their youth who never played a 1st team league game… That’s the level of astute business operations we will hopefully get to eventually as they have it nailed regardless of the oil billions… Edited July 7, 2022 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness i guess that US franchises will have strict rules they have to meet. Just had a quick look and yes indeed they have strict rules. Seems that the MLS as a league have an investment in all the clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Having two owners with sports experience is just so rare in the football world. It's usually owners who employ those into the seats of power. But we have Nas with his Adidas board shares and advisory role, and Wes with his US franchise ownership experience. We are a rare club in its ownership model. They aren't in this for the quick buck but they love sport. They are determined to make us a success because they are as into it as we are! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The is no where telling me how that happened. The Net worth is obviously not liquid cash, but they have access to capital so I could see it being a loan. The is no relegation so loans have less risk compared to here. We are looking at other clubs and have already partnered with a club in Eygpt that is basically as good as owning consider it’s nassif brother. We seem very careful about our expansion into other clubs. Where other owners have rushed to grab clubs up for sake of it; City are a model that works. So they should be a blueprint we look to follow but in our own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 If we want to complete at the top, we're going to need to play that game, but this normalisation of premier League clubs buying up and making puppets of major clubs in other countries is just another example of how much money has corrupted the sport. It's disgusting, honestly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but that's not the owners fault, in fact it's to their credit that after such an investment they are still putting millions into the club to improve on all fronts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
