Bernard Arnault interested in Villa?
« on: December 14, 2011, 09:22:36 PM »
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.

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

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.

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

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.
