Has anyone seen if their shoes are any good?
I would like to know Howard Hodgson’s take on this after all he obviously facilitated it.
That Times article is an interesting read, but is there any official communication from this NSWE group spelling out what they will do with Villa, or us it all just guesswork at this point.I’m not saying I want a Man City type of approach, but after the last few weeks and years, I find it hard to get excited about new owners until they show their true colors.

When you think of the no marks we have had here, since pube head did one, it is not very surprising we found ourselves where we are at the moment.Lerner to start with and Xia seemed to think keep in contact with the supporters, Krulak and Dr No on twitter, it will be fine, but still only telling us what they want to hear, i.e. Dr No and Wyness plan B.I hope our new owners set the framework up correctly and if I do not see either off them on Twitter, twatter or whatever, that will be fine with me. Any required statements come out of the Media side of Villa park, not some sodomite and emoji crap we have had to put up with and only inform us when it requires us to know.I agree but you can have the best framework and Football structures in the world but the whole thing lives or dies depending on who the manager isMan Utd are the biggest footballing global brand but it was only built to the size it is now on what Fergie was doing on the training pitch the manager is the single most important person at any Football clubuntil you get that right you are heading nowhere

Members and supporters will no doubt be delighted to hear of the 55% investment made by Messrs Sawiris and Edens. This appears to have resolved the short-term funding issue faced by our football club.Whilst it is acknowledged that the last two weeks must have been difficult for senior people at the club, it is disappointing that they did not respond to our request for a meeting.Accordingly, we have repeated that request and are hopeful that on this occasion we will be able to effect a meeting to discuss the way forward. It is encouraging that in the Press Release it was stated that the owners are stewards of Aston Villa Football Club on behalf of the fans.The new investment does not mean that there is a licence to spend money (FFP restricts that) but there must be a desire to have a period of stability and financial prudence under wise and experienced leadership. We will press for that.
