Should we have a new thread? NSWE Investment?

Aye, would make sense.  With the club statement this looks solid.

Nassef Sawiris owns 5 percent of Adidas, spread the word to all the Bluenoses that every time they buy a kit they are literally supporting Aston Villa 😎😏😂

Woz sorry to correct you but Small Heath does not have a tip.  It is a tip.

Now now, I lived in small Heath for a good 6 months......
It's worse than a tip

Edens seems to have made a lot of his fortune on subprime mortgages. Are ethical billionaires an oxymoron?

Fair play to Dr T for appearing to have dug us out of the hole he had got us into. On face value they seem solid, reliable and rich blokes. It appears Edens is or was joint owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, so we should be able to dig out some information as to how they have fared under his control.

I've asked a lawyer turned journalist in Milwaukee for some info too.
Lets hope what made him famous in Milwaukee doesn't make a loser out of us :)

You'll probably get better info than me. My contact in Milwaukee is a retired school librarian :)

Already had a bit of a dig around:

To sum up, done a brilliant job on the business side but, for some people, the way they've handled the head coach and general manager hiring and firing has been a bit unprofessional.

More importantly has Tony Xia told Daniel Levy to fuck off yet?

I think the fact that Jack is still with us suggests he's been telling him to fuck off for a while already.
