How the hell is Villa's price only £60m?

 

lerner just wants rid

 

Aye but he only paid that for the club as well. Ashley paid more than double for us, fairly similar sized clubs.

I thought Ashley only paid about 85mill for us, the rest was buying out the debt. Did Lerner do a similar thing, 60mill purchase and other costs etc on top ?

re my edit- Pat Murphy on 5 live was suggesting that the 70+years remaining on contracts of players who took the piss as they were relegated were a huge burden /issue to be cleared up- lerner just wants out of it.

That was ten years ago though, inflation in football has been immense since then. Expecting a few players to go for more than that this summer :lol:

No debt.

 

What sort of businessman does it take to buy a club for a certain amount, own it through ten years of unprecedented flow of tv money into the game and end up selling it for what he paid for it, having deposited it in the second division?

 

What a fucking idiot.

 

This time last year they were talking 200m. That's what getting relegated does, I guess. The fucking mug. Good riddance.

We don't - the debt that we did have was as to Lerner and, to his credit, he wrote it off.

Then your new owner is getting a bargain.

Unfortunately, the new owner didn't exist on the internet before this morning.

 

I forecast doom.

 

It's just going to be Lerner going full on Mr. Yunioshi.

Wasn't this the same as when Ashley took over us?

 

A wealthy man that literally nobody knew, kept himself private and barely even had a Wikipedia entry.

 

Good luck :lol:

 

In all seriousness, potentially good news for Villa but in these times you have no idea what the intentions are of a new owner. Only time will tell if this bloke has any ounce of common sense/football knowledge.

 

Still think Villa will struggle to make the playoffs, a team absolutely full of awful players with no care at all. They'll have to sell 10+ and bring about the same number in, which would make it very difficult as you're effectively buying a new team.

 

One player I do like is Mark Bunn, met him a few times when I was younger & working in hotels. I think he was at Blackburn at the time. Nice bloke who was more than happy to have a chat, seemed down to Earth.

“My ambition is to bring Villa to the top six in less than five years and I hope it can be [one of] the top three in the world – even the best well known in the world – in less than 10 years”

The Football League has distributed a discussion document to its member clubs ahead of its summer conference and AGM next month

Clubs are being asked to consider the re-organisation of the domestic league system into five divisions of 20 teams from the 2019/20 season.

 

Under the proposal, The Football League would become a four division competition below the Premier League, including a new League Three, with 100 clubs competing across the professional game. In addition, the League Cup and League Trophy will be retained with the latter potentially having a revised format include a group structure of three games before becoming a knockout competition thereafter.

 

At this point, the Board of The Football League is offering no recommendation other than asking clubs to give the matter their full consideration, taking into account the following:

 

- Football League Clubs should be in a financially no worse, or preferably better, position as a result of any changes;

- Promotion to/relegation from the Premier League must be retained at three places;

- There would be no relegation out of The Football League in season 2018/19;

- Football League Clubs must support the final proposal.

 

The proposal stems from English football’s collective concerns about the fixture calendar and enjoys the 'in principle' support of executives from the Premier League and FA. The Premier League is due to take a report to their Clubs at their summer meeting, while the FA Executive needs to consult with its Board.

 

The congested fixture list remains one of the game’s biggest concerns with insufficient dates available in each season to sensibly accommodate both League and Cup fixtures without significant clashes. The League’s proposal seeks to achieve a new, innovative approach to the fixture calendar and will need ‘whole game’ support as this concern is not unique to The Football League and is shared for differing reasons by both the Premier League and FA.

 

If implemented , the proposal would The number of midweek matches reduce from next season’s nine in the Championship, seven in League One and six in League Two to just one in the Championship, League Two and the new League Three and none in League One in 2019/20.

 

In considering these matters, the football authorities have identified the following objectives:

 

Football League Objectives:

 

- To maximise the number of weekend/Bank Holiday league fixtures;

- To remove where practical fixture congestion and scheduling conflicts;

- To protect/improve financial distributions/income generation for Football League clubs;

- To maintain the Football League Play-Off Finals as the last event of the domestic season.

 

Premier League and FA Priorities:

Increasing the prospect of success for Clubs in European competitions;

Increasing the prospect of success for England Teams at all levels;

Retaining the value and status of the FA Cup Competition;

Avoiding a ‘problematic’ fixture clash with UEFA Competitions;

To achieve a fixture schedule where the FA Cup Final is played the week after the last round of Premier League fixtures.

 

The Football League believes there are any number of potential benefits for Football League clubs in reducing the number of fixtures, the importance of which will depend on a club’s individual circumstances.  In all circumstances clubs should not be disadvantaged by the proposed changes.  Benefits include but are not limited to:

 

- The importance of each individual fixture will increase;

- Reduced travel costs to four games which are often at a distance;

- Midweek travel for fans vastly reduced.

- Potential to reduce squad size;     

- Increased importance of reserve team football;

- Enhanced recovery time/match preparation.

- Increase in sale of season tickets due to reduction in midweek games;

- Increased profile on League One, Two & Three at different stages of the season;

- Statistically greater chance of promotion (and relegation);

- At least six new Clubs (30%) to play each season.

- No relegation out of the Football League in 2018/19;

- Different formats for the Football League Trophy available;

- Opportunity to standardise promotion/relegation.

 

Any final decisions on this proposal would not need to be made by Football League clubs until their AGM in June 2017 enabling full consultation with clubs and stakeholders, including fans.

If he isn't now, he will be after a season watching us play.

 

He has said today he was at the home match against you lot.

 

God only knows what he made of "the best league in the world" that day. Let alone the loud protests against the current owner.
