Bernard Arnault interested in Villa?

[nigel]

On a B'ham Mail forum this guy mentioned that he'd heard that Bernard Arnault, a French billionaire, was interested in Villa.
Anyone else heard this.
Can't see it personally.

Houllier as director of football anyone?

[bertlambshank]

Aston Villa the FRENCH beat combo is what he is after.

So its come to this. Hearsay b******t from another forum.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

There's more chance of him becoming the lead singer of Aston Villa.



Edit:Bigad82 beat me to it.

He can start a bidding war with that South American soft drinks bloke.

Richest man in Europe and 4th richest in the world according to good old Wiki

[Mazrim]

Europe's richest man and the world's 4th richest apparently. (42bn Dollars)

Well, O.K then. That's over 3 times richer than Abramovich.

According to Forbes magazine, Arnault is the world's 4th and Europe's richest person, with a 2011 net worth of US$ 41 billion

And some will still find something to complain about.

[Dave Clark Five]

Probably lining us up for Wenger when the truth about him comes out.

[nico2708]

its more like ASTON MARTIN than ASTON VILLA

Clicky thing

I saw this earlier in the day. I did the right thing and ignored it.

I cant see why he would want to buy us. We would need around £200m to buy Randy out plus another few hundred mill to get us to compete. We've already shown we aren't the 'Sleeping Giant' we like to think we are (which is understandable considering the number of Premiership/thereabouts teams in our catchment area compared to just us and maybe Baggies 20/30 years ago).

Maybe he's friends with Houllier who spoke of how good our academy, stadium and stuff is and that it could be a good investment? But I cant see it. Randy said he isnt selling.

But you look at things like the new company formed at VP worth the exact amount the club is estimated to be worth, down grading playing staff, wages and general cost-cutting and it is possible he could sell, I just dont think he is.

Probably just thinks that N'Zogbia's the next Messi.
