New chairman and Lerner ramblings

[dave.woodhall]

So you say. Not one credible name really has ever been put forward though, has it?

I can think of plenty.

Can't link right now but Hollis says Lerner won't be selling Villa until he's sorted us out and is ''pretty passionate'' about us. Yeah Ok, he doesn't understand the meaning of the word passion then, anyway as we suspected Lerner is currently not a motivated seller at all because he knows he wouldn't be offered anything like the price he wants for us.

In other words he can't find a buyer for his inflated price.

At £150 million, I think we're cheap.

Does anyone know what this 'inflated price' is?

I suppose it depends - and I haven't paid all that much attention - as to whether it includes some of the converted 'debt'

Randys Holy Grail - The Deloitte Top 20
Villa in 23rd position, with reported revenues of €148.8
I thought this point was intersting
"The ratio of the three principal revenue streams remains broadly consistent with the prior year, with clubs generating 19% of their revenue from matchday sources, 40% from broadcast and 41% from commercial. With further increases expected in broadcast and commercial revenue in coming years, we would expect the revenue a club generates from matchday to fall in significance even further than its current record low. It was only ten years ago that clubs generated around a third of their revenue from matchday."

It is no wonder why we have commercial directors, and accountants making all the decisions. Still failed to break the top 20 though.

So something he paid 66million for 6 years ago which was pre-city and pre fair play, that has been run into the ground, about to get relegated with a squad full of misfits and under achievers is now cheap at 150million. I would like to sell at your prices and buy at mine.

The revenue streams have massively increased in the meantime.

He has tried to sell it whilst we've been a premiership club.

The club is certainly not worth that,it's hardly a cash cow.

Please stop, I beg of you.
