Says that Vitoria will sign young Egyptian, Senegalese and South American players with the view to them moving to Villa if they’re good enough. Says it will benefit Vitoria because they wouldn’t get these players otherwise, and it benefits Villa because we get first option on all of their players. Hopefully we can trust that their coaches are good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about young athletes, up to the age of 18, who are in Senegal being worked on so that they can then follow their professional project. In Egypt, it is exactly the same way and it will be the same in South America." Birmingham Mail We will have a direct line to Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that our feeder club has a better stadium than Blues could ever dream of. (Small Wins Monday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I finally got access to Vitoria's fan forum after having my application pending for weeks. Looking around, their fans aren't really happy about this deal because like us, they've had some really dodgy investors in the past. It also sounds like this deal gives 2 of the 3 board seats to NSWE, with only 1 being fan elected via the 50+1 system they have in place. We also reportedly only gave them ~5 million euros for controlling interest in their club. From a business point of view, it's a massive win for NSWE to essentially buy a controlling stake in a club in the Europa League/Europa Conference every season for such a small sum of money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchy Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Be interesting to see if the Vegas franchise moves forward quicker now that the Vitoria sale has been agreed. Are there any more links to Scandinavian clubs or possibly Belgium/Austrian ones that NSWE might be interested in? I’m sure I read somewhere we were looking at KAA Gent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Does it also mean, that players from our academy, that we are not sure about selling, can be groomed by Vitoria? It's hard to break in to the premier league standard, but late bloomers might benefit in playing for Vitoria. I see it as a two-way street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas will move at whatever speed MLS wants it to. They’ve said it’ll be announced by end of this year and expected to be Vegas or St Louis. If it’s Vegas, it’ll 90% be our owners behind it. Edens driving it because he owns all the facilities and land and is building the new high speed train between Vegas and LA, so huge for him if it works out.
