Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

[neil999]

yeah...i really dont mind them making a profit, better than 'coastin;' which is what we have been doing for years...surely they will be more motivated to make us an on-going success

The one thing we have that villa never, is a good squad from the start. We don't need £150m investing in our squad. Maybe £50m!

Each season.

At the expense of funding for the team? That's my priority at this point. Everything is wrong with that if that is what happens.

If you think about it, it is impossible to do it any other way. It's never been done in the history of football. You can't spend the same money twice.

Consortium's worry me. Chinese billionaires sound much more fun

Why a bit odd ? Surely they should ?

I'm clearly a novice at these matters, and smarter people than me have provided us with excellent breakdowns of the situation...but...even to a humble Antipodean like myself, it's obvious that if you buy in order to sell for profit, then you need to invest.

If we take the selling price as an example, as far as I'm aware, it has been 200 million for quite some time. Is that just an aberration or is it indicative of owners who have failed to realise the potential of their asset? If it was 200 million 4 years ago, imagine what it would be worth with some investment in infrastructure?

Perhaps this is what the Americans see. If it's worth that with "classic" infrastructure, imagine what it's worth with some careful investment.

Not really. If not spending on the infrastructure was the way forward, we'd be Champions of Europe for the last 20 years.

Ok then

 

[chippy1722]

Nor me. If team funding isn't compromised.

The team has been pretty much funded on scraps and player sales for the past 10 years anyway.

That can't continue.

There is a rumour Kenwright is holding back 30% of his shares and will hand them over for nothing on competition of a new stadium.
