What about Fulhams owner and the other shareholder at arsenal?



21 Jul 2018 03:22:05
They have enough money to pay the bills, make the squad competitive and to take the club forward, that is really all that matters. At least now we can all sleep a little easier and dream of what's to come.



20 Jul 2018 20:04:19
Im looking forward too new season bout time something good happened all us villa brothers suffered for too long now let's have a go now let's attack an win the league or 2nd . Atleast now no1s going to get our players on the cheap now thank god.



21 Jul 2018 03:27:13
Too right mate, it was looking bleak a couple of days ago with poachers lining up to get our best players on the cheap, don't think that will happen for them now with the balance of power changing. We certainly won't be so desperate to sell now so clubs no longer have us by the short and curlies.



20 Jul 2018 16:41:22
New investors, new hope, new manager? Yes please!



20 Jul 2018 17:40:20
Just seen both letters from new investors and thsy both said villa will be strengthing squad in the remaining weeks whicn is, good news now, we have it in place now to push on, nget bck where we belong .



20 Jul 2018 17:25:12
Unfortunately Jack will still be leaving us as he knows that his international future will be hindered in the champs. Only hope we get his reAl value.
I can't wait to read just what our new owners/ investors will be prepared to put into AVFC.
We have waited a long time for a real investor so let's now forget the past decade and look to the future.
First objective, promotion in 2018/ 19.
Secondly stableisation.
Thirdly challenge top 6. We were there when MON walked.
Finally, top spot.
None of this will be easy so we will need a progressive manager who is attack minded so when we score we look for more.
Hopefully I will live see this happen!



20 Jul 2018 17:42:44
Surely stabilisation comes first? It's a big ask at this stage to assemble a squad to challenge for promotion after what has happened in the last few months. Fingers crossed for you guys. Hope you do the Sandwell bunch twice this season!



20 Jul 2018 17:49:10
Oldvillian, problem I can see for Jack is, with Spurs midfield, how many games will he get?



20 Jul 2018 20:58:12
Jack wants the chance to prove himself.
He needs to leave "home" to çhallenge himself.
Guess he realises he must compete and his self belief is that he will be a regular as is Kate and Ericsson.
Good luck Jack, don't forget your heritage.
Love you to stay and grow with AVFC, YOUR FAMILY.



20 Jul 2018 16:43:03
I think it is only fair to say that Dr. X has done right by the club so a huge thanks for that. Both investors are extremely successful, we also get the benefit of some sporting expertise along with links to Adidas (wonder if that will effect future kits) and of course they both have huge financial clout. Overall I am delighted with this outcome and to coin a phrase "It's just what the doctor ordered".



20 Jul 2018 16:21:07
Onwards and upwards.
Dare to dream
VTID.



20 Jul 2018 16:16:02
Since these two are worth at least £8 billion plus between them, does this mean we don't have to sell Jack, assuming he still wants to stay?



20 Jul 2018 17:49:32
If they can get around ffp we don't have to. Need to sponsor the stand s or something and sell dead wood.



20 Jul 2018 16:00:46
The new investors are mega billonairs both have successful companys an yank owns a nba team i googld them, now we need dr gone with bruce.



20 Jul 2018 15:46:13
@villaking80
Seems you were right and so I take my hat off to you sir! Thou only only half sorry as the henry part is still not true.



20 Jul 2018 19:25:21
Still time mate watch this space. I'm still hearing they will replace Bruce.



20 Jul 2018 23:11:45
Henry will be in place next week. I told you all this a few days back now. And we were being bought by an American. The good part is I'd not herd about his very rich partner. Bonus 🤑🤑🤑.



20 Jul 2018 15:22:49
So the EFL have already accepted the financial transaction to the club from the two investors, now how much do they both own? Hypothetically if they invested the same as dr t between them or just over that making them majority share holders between them leaving room to buy the rest of the shares off dr t at a later date. My question is would this cover the FFP or would we need to generate money from somewhere else say naming rights to villa park? Would this balance the FFP of the investment doesn't?



20 Jul 2018 17:51:57
They will need to sponsor the stadium or something to sort ffp. They could have 100 billion and it still don't count to ffp.



20 Jul 2018 14:53:19
If and it's a questionable if we stabilise our financial position I think it would be an ideal opportunity to sweep with a new broom. We came up short last season with the most expensive squad and wage bill. I can't for one minute think the football will be any different, so as the squad had been weakened we would be foolish to stick with the status quo.



20 Jul 2018 14:54:30
Egyptian and American then.



20 Jul 2018 15:25:58
What I do like is that sawiris lives in London and will be hopefully more hands on, .
These 2 are seriously minted but I'm not bothered about that really,
As long as they invest properly and take on the right people to run the club I'm happy enough,
Just hope we can keep grealish but it looks like he will have to go regardless of money invested,



20 Jul 2018 14:39:24
So we can keep the lights on lads :-)

Anybody know how this impacts us from a squad perspective?

Also, please, please replace Bruce!



20 Jul 2018 13:59:27
Thats a good point bob, i can think of 3, gallardo, dean smith, psv manager vanbronchurst, then there's 2 maybe worth a punt terry, an henry both got all badges so why not.



20 Jul 2018 13:34:11
Just putting out a idea of mine,
We are by all accounts hoping to be sold to a middle East consortium,
This is not a rummor I'm saying just a talking point,
3 years ago a billionaire Hasan Abdullah ismaik tried to buy Everton and arsenal but fell through,
He part owns 1860 Munich and he is wanting to buy into a premiership or championship club in England!
Just a thought I wonder?



20 Jul 2018 12:49:22
If you were new ownwers would you stick or twist with bruce, i'd twist we need a younger coach with attacking, fast paced footy, bruce is a nice bloke but we won't progress under him.



20 Jul 2018 13:00:53
villa4ever,

I would like a younger coach but who?
That's the million dollar question,
I would start from scratch and bring in proven football people in all area's,
If they do that is anybody's guess,
Just want this owner out the club and hopefully get things right this time.



20 Jul 2018 14:50:25
Mainbob, surely Bruce is as proven as you can get in the championship? His track record speaks for itself getting teams out the league, I think it's a arse of backing Bruce to get up and then move on once we get there, he had plenty to do behind the scenes when he first got here and has sorted that out and if it hasn't been for injuries namely to grealish early in the season we would be in the Orem by now.



Review Of The Day 20th July 2018

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 20th July 2018



20 Jul 2018 01:06:07
If a takeover of the club is in progress and indeed in an advanced stage as reported, would I be right in assuming that during that take over period no players would be likely to be purchased or sold? If you were to be buying a house for instance how could you agree on a price if pieces of it were being constantly removed or added. You would expect a buyer to agree on a price to purchase based on how the club now stands, so I'm thinking that Jack or indeed anyone won't be going anywhere at least until the the sale goes through, any thoughts?



20 Jul 2018 10:33:44
Correct as I've been saying for weeks now.



20 Jul 2018 12:15:28
Thats correct.



20 Jul 2018 12:30:05
Unless the agreed price is taking in to account for the sale of said goods leaving i. e. Grealish, Chester and kodjia. Effectively it's like saying you can buy the house furnished for £100k or £90k unfurnished.
