So basically they stopped at a line between Hope and Crosby.

Is there a place called Lamour?

It rings a bell because I read that and immediately thought ,Oh! Lamour?

A town with chronic heart related problems.

Fantastic sir.

A consortium of local businessmen have stumped up the £1.5 - 2.0 million needed to keep the club afloat for the next few weeks.

Apparently they need a total of £5M to make it through to the end of the season and some sections of the Danish media are still talking about us as interested having looked at the books yesterday and today.

Just found an article where Wyness  is on the record with BT newspaper saying there's a 5 person delegation coming over on Monday or Tuesday.

Wyness in that recent interview stated that the FFP restricted us from spending what we wanted to in this window. That even if we had 100m to spend the rules stopped us from doing so. So I don't think Xia is skint but it appears he's investing elsewhere with longer term and broader objectives.

If we owned Lyngby, would there be anything stopping us from buying players through them and then loaning them to us? Could be a way around FFP.

It’s the heartbeat of its region.

Man. City are doing that with New York atm.

They're currently losing 3-0 at home to Brondby. Their stadium is very basic.

Didn't we have a tie up with a Danish club about 15 years ago?

See the pictures: English sleeping giant visit Denmark - negotiating to buy Superliga club

The richly historied English club Aston Villa were in Lyngby on Monday afternoon to check the details before a possible purchase of the Superliga club.

"Not for sale"

That was the comment from the consortium behind Lynby BK's rescue at 8pm on Sunday evening
20 hours later "Friends of Lyngby" and the clubs new CEO, Birger Jørgensen were sitting around a table with the top management from history rich Aston Villa. On the agenda: The possible sale of the club that last week was threatened with bankrupcy to the English delegation.

At 4pm on Monday, BT's photographer caught Aston Villa's management and Birger Jøregensen on their way to the negotiating table at Lyngby Stadium. The Birmingjam club, that have won the English to division 7 times had sent the big boys to Denmark. The club's CEO Keith Wyness accompanied by Ian Hopson, the finance director and manager for commercial activities, Luke Organ. In addition, the Championship giants had a large legal team with them in Denmark, where the English to managemnet were shown around Lyngby's facilities.

BT's sources say that Aston Villas plan is to takeover a majority shareholding in Lyngby, but at teh same time retain teh new consortium in the boardroon. If the purchase goes through Aston Villa will have the casting vote but could at the same time draw on the local connections and know-how that the newly created "Friends of Lyngby" possess.
 
"We're not coming to clear up, but to develop the club further, after local businesspeople have made a good start. We believe that we can contribute to developing he club and running it better than it has been run in some years, and  it's amongst other things that reason why we've come to Denmark to be certain of. We still lack meeting Lyngby's management face to face and to examine the financials in detail before we can definitely say yes." said Aston Villa's CEO Keith Wyness last week.

Aston Villa will ue Lyngby to talent development and player exchange, as teh club sees an advantge in being able to send their own players out for match time in the Danish Superliga, but a final decision has not been reached yet.

That final decision rests on several unknown factors. Before Monday's meeting, where the English delegation also had the opportunity to see Lyngby's facilities, Aston Villa hadn't had complete access to the club's financials.  Aston Villa now have that.

But there are other question marks. To start with is the fact that Lyngby's new management are no longer forced to sell. As Birger Jørgensen said on Sunday, the club is no longer for sale after the newve shredding rescue from bankrupcy last weekend. But that situation can come again and it would be surprising if Lyngby's new owners could ignore an offer from e.g. Aston Villa.

A second point is that according to Lyngby's CEO, there is still interest from other possible buyers.  Three other anonynous suitors to be precise. A third point is the question around Lyngby Stadium. Whilst Aston Villa are in Denmark, the club aslo met with Lyngby-Taarbærk Council to sound out possibilities for upgrading Lyngby's outdated stadium or even building a complete new stadium on the current plot.

"I can't answer about what they're going to talk to Lyngby-Taarbæk Council about. But I can guess what it is. Because they have some ground and some buildings and we have a  football club," said Birgen Jørgensen to BT on Sunday referring to Aston Villa's meeting north from Copenhagen.

Now Aston Villa will take the meetings with Lyngby BK and the council who own the stadium in one hand and the financial data in teh other and travel home over teh North Sea to think things through. If the conclusion is positive, it could well mean a definite offer to but in Lyngby's inbox soon.

BT attempted to contact Lyngby CEO Birger Jørgensen on Monday, but the figurehead for the "Friends og Lyngby" consortium didn't return our calls.

Good idea.

Could get round FFP by buying players and make the like of Richards move to Denmark  until contract run out to help us.
Give us more knowledge overseas
Give our young players game time
Allow us to buy players and send them to Denmark to get  experience and  qualify for work permit.

The entire project would be justified just for that one thing to happen.
