Sima Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 How much do people think we're actually worth? Wasnt that long ago that we were one of the richest clubs in the world. Get it right with us and the sky's the limit. I can't see Ashley accepting less than £450m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 What was it like when Ashley first bought us? I can't really remember, was it sudden? Protests were made towards Shepherd in the previous season, but he had just hired a new manager in Allardyce. They were talks of Freddy buying Halls shares or new ownership but in terms of Mike Ashley, it came out of nowhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Chinese ownership of European football clubs is the same as their investment in the CSL. It's soft power, government driven via Chinese companies. We'll likely be a pawn in some plan for global dominance, but if it means we get lots of delicious yuan to spend then bring it on.

U2 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Imagine if we get our own Dr Tony Xia Is he that bad really? They had a terrible squad when he took over and he's allowed the managers to spend plenty of money on players He appointed Di Matteo and sanctioned millions worth of shite signings. He chats shit via twitter on a daily basis. Clearly he hasn't got a clue and comes across as a right gimp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 450m Didn't he fuck off £400m or so when he sacked that meeting off in Dubai? There's a lot more money in the game nowadays as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 We wait years for a takeover bid and suffer loads in the meantime but when it finally comes..... I dunno. Does it have to be right now? We're fairly stable, have a great manager and already in a rush to sign players. This is a bit inconvenient, we've seen far too many bad takeovers of late.

Clearly he hasn't got a clue and comes across as a right gimp Aye and then replaced him quickly with a manager with a track record of getting teams promoted. I don't think you can blame an owner for bad signings, obviously down to the manager/director of football. He's put loads of money in and they've now built a squad which should have a decent chance of going up. Just because he talks shit on twitter doesn't mean he's a bad owner. I'd be interested to know what Villa fans think of him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
