Quote from: Legion on July 22, 2018, 12:07:42 PMFrom the AVST:QuoteMembers and supporters will no doubt be delighted to hear of the 55% investment made by Messrs Sawiris and Edens. This appears to have resolved the short-term funding issue faced by our football club.Whilst it is acknowledged that the last two weeks must have been difficult for senior people at the club, it is disappointing that they did not respond to our request for a meeting.Accordingly, we have repeated that request and are hopeful that on this occasion we will be able to effect a meeting to discuss the way forward. It is encouraging that in the Press Release it was stated that the owners are stewards of Aston Villa Football Club on behalf of the fans.The new investment does not mean that there is a licence to spend money (FFP restricts that) but there must be a desire to have a period of stability and financial prudence under wise and experienced leadership. We will press for that.That sounds like something my parish council would put out.

There’s a good article in the Times today apparently about how this deal came together and some of the plans of our new owners. If someone has a subscription maybe they can post it. Here’s the Twitter link.https://twitter.com/ste_healy/status/1020966894046674944?s=12
So who's right, Percy or Moxey?

They are getting a bit embarrassing. Demand a meeting, yes, that will solve things!!
Not going to lie. Those articles gave me movement in my loins. Thanks Berneboy for expanding on that link for me. They both have immense and verified wealth and haven’t bought us to arse around in the Championship. I reckon Bruce could be toast next week, and if not next week soon after the season starts if we are not off to a hot start. We need ruthless owners who want to win. The Man City approach being discussed earlier is what we need, a mix of smart people being brought in to run us like a proper business. Right people in the required roles; a defined strategy with well thought through tactics.
