I'd imagine Sky's owners would want them to be as profitable as possible, rather than as fair and impartial as possible.

Can't help myself telling them.that there is an area right in the middle of the country called the Midlands and we are therefore "Midlanders".

Quote from: Percy McCarthy on March 10, 2024, 10:16:31 AMQuote from: IFWaters on March 10, 2024, 07:02:32 AMAre our owners worth more than Radcliffe? I do hope so.Do you think the Glazers migh twell have worked one on Radcliffe? He is coming in, having put a few quid in, and bringing all these new ideas how to improve the club. If these work, then the profit that MUFC make becomes even higher and the Glazers say " Thanks very much we will have a dividend of £xx, an increase of xxxx much more than last year". Guess who still owns the vast majority of shares in MUFC.Depends if you include Comcast, who through Atairos own 20%, and are worth around $200 billion. They also own Sky and it’s about time they put some editorial pressure on their football coverage IMO.They own that much? Christ... I did not know they had purchased so much of the club.Sawiris & Edens are worth a combined £10.4 billion, which places the owners in the top 7 wealthiest in the world in 2024.Its hard to get that info from these "wealthy owner lists" floating about the internet though because they either just completely ignore us, or just go for Sawiris on his own.If Comcast own 20% & their value is £185 billion, & adding the £10.4 billion on Sawiris & Edens, then that places all of our owners as 2nd wealthiest in the world behind Jawdi Arabia.Obviously its not as simple as that & Im not naive enough to think that those numbers mean that Villa are that wealthy, but if we are going on our owners wealth, like the media do with Newcastle, ManC, ManU, Chelsea, etc, they our owners numbers are 2nd in the world. Be nice if Comcast did exert some pressure on Sky to do their job properly as far as we are concerned though & not just always focus on the media & marketing favourite clubs...

Are our owners worth more than Radcliffe? I do hope so.

Fulham will have a rooftop swimming pool on their new stand:https://archive.ph/mS3XiI'm sort of hopeful that we'll go for something similar at Villa Park. Obviously not an infinity pool overlooking Witton, which might not be as attractive to visitors, but it'll give Fulham a pretty unique looking stadium with the cottage and that stand. Still feel the 'new' North Stand was a bit bland and we need something .... spicy?

Not a pool though.
