VillaRoy Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I think the people of this forum have enough sense not to be paid subscribers of The Sun+ . Shocking rag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I don't subscribe to the Sun. I just saw the link and thought I'd pass it on. Not really news to us supporters, but interesting that it's hit mainstream media. I still think we're a prime target for significant investment. We'd be right at the top of the list if somebody wanted to invest in a Premier League club and turn them into a powerhouse á la Man City. DWG? Huh?

Daniel Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) DWG? Huh? I take it he's talking about "Dalian Wanda Group" Have I missed something? Dunno, some people thought they were after us or they were looking to invest into a team. They already said they hadn't made any moves for Southampton.

abdomlahor Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Oh okay. I remember reading about that and thought we'd be a good candidate for them. Here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 How is this even news much less an "exclusive"? If someone had come in with 200m 2-3 years ago he'd have sold us in an instant aswell. "Lerner willing to sell" is nothing new we've all guessed that after the past 2-3 years, someone in the process of buying us would be news but that aint happening.

Villan4Life Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 This is the sun+ article in full someone on another site has sun+ ASTON VILLA FOR SALE - £200 MILLION The American tycoon, who bought the club from Doug Ellis for £63m in 2006, is actively looking for a new owner who can inject more funds into Villa and take them forward. Lerner, 51, has been hoping for a wealthy United States investor to buy Villa. His inflated asking price takes into account the £250m he has spent on players, plus redeveloping facilities. Lerner knows he will not recoup all the cash but has been encouraged by the £190m Mohamed Fayed received from Shahid Khan for Fulham. A source said: “Randy has been open to offers for Villa from some time — but wants quite a lot of money from the club. “He has seen the £190m sale of Fulham but about £35m of that was a premium for it being a London-based club.” The value of Prem clubs is soaring because of the new TV deal which pays at least £40m a season. A deal could take around three months to complete and any buyer would wait to be sure Villa will definitely be a top-flight side next season before finalising a deal. Former Villa boss Gerard Houllier, global sports director for Red Bull, has already gone public to state his company are not interested in tabling a bid. from the SUN article pulled it off another forum (cant believe somebody has a sun account ffs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
