Imagine selling a stake in the firm that you founded and picking up a mere £400m.

This wouldn't have happened had we been promoted so missing out could actually turn out to have been a good thing long-term. What must the Bluenoses and Baggies be thinking? They must have been loving life for a few weeks and just when things look really serious and that the administrators might be called in, a couple of billionaires with great credentials come along and save us.

"They've now got the third richest owners in English football".

That definitely lifts spirits. And I'll lift a spirit to that! Up the Villa!

I'm guessing Man City have the richest owners, so who are in second place?

I see we've already paid off the mortgages we took out on the land...

I’m somewhat sceptical of their Football pedigree despite being “fans”, I know for a fact many of us would struggle hugely running the Villa if ever given the chance, so quite how they’ll do will be interesting. With the departures of Wyness/Round we desperately need a football administrator of pedigree as CEO and a forward looking DoF. Is Dan Ashworth still leaving the FA?

If he is I would do what it takes , he is top drawer. Then get him to poach his former colleague Mark Harrison from the Boggies and there's our academy sorted.

I was making the same point yesterday. Assuming of course we get promoted in the next season or two.

So how’s that long sleep going?

Was thinking the same thing myself.  And, have also thought had we not sold to Lerner in 2006 we could be where Man City are now and they where we are.
