Great article, it's been said before but was the loss to Fulham our best defeat ever

And on the other side of the coin in the main it hasn't been a great two or three years for Fulham.

According to Bloomberg, NNS (the main investment holding of Nassef Sawiris) has revealed it has purchased 5% of Madison Square Garden Company (the owners of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers).  This makes him currently the  third largest block investor in the organisation and it is anticipated he will increase his stock share further in the new year.  MSGC is currently valued at about 4.3 billion dollars.

He was mentioned in the article from a few days ago about the owners. They were comparing that guy with Grealish in terms of being a star player and what it means to keep him.

Giannis to the Bucks is precisely what Jack Grealish is to Villa. Except Jack has the added bonus of being local. Wes clearly looked at it the same way. Good for them if they are a rival to my Raptors.

Saturday morning with no Villa game and pretty fed up with everything. Then I saw this! Cheered me right up. Fantastic article  about our great club and brilliant new owners.Thanks for posting Ger. This really drives home just what a sliding doors moment that play off final against Fulham was. And that quote "we understand that are stewards of Aston Villa on behalf of the fans and we take that responsibility very seriously"
That's such humbling statement from the guys that have literally saved the very existence of Aston Villa. And next time I hear someone banging on about how rubbish they  think certain players are I will quote the final line in the article "what's most exciting is that this is just the beginning"
i think Lerner made a similar comment about just being a steward when he bought the club. These guys look capable of carrying it out well.

I’ve never seen this.  I love these owners.  Hope they stay with us and stick to the plans.

Nice to see that again - so little footage of them speaking as owners, (did they give a brief Pravda interview after taking over too?).

Wes doesn't fcuk about as we've seen with him splashing the cash on his NBA superstar this week. If we're comfortably top ten after the Christmas games I wonder will they look to make a statement signing in January.

I reckon a session or two on the rack to stretch me out a foot or so would help me get the attributes needed. Riss, would you mind going first though?

Except they are allowed to drop it deliberately too and move about a bit..

Part of me does think that that they're paid a fortune just for being very tall!

Well erm...yeh. Have you seen where they put the basket? If only changing lightbulbs and getting cats out of trees was just as well rewarded.
