My new favourite Portuguese club.

Yes, nice kits, too

Their home kit seems to be mostly plain white with a Santos vibe. However this away effort is a lesson in how to make a dog's dinner of a Vasco shirt. https://www.oldfootballshirts.com/pt/teams/v/vitoria-guimaraes/old-vitoria-guimaraes-football-shirt-s77241.html

Ouch, that is awful

Thats a 2007 kit.  This is their 2022 kits and very nice they are too:

Those were the ones I was on about. All three very nice.
In fairness to BV he was just showing an away top of theirs which wasn’t so good.

Things like this also make believe more than before that Lange’s days are numbered. I think Emery will have a large part to play in who we buy in the future and the scouting team will need to be fully aligned. I think in the summer we will see a shake up internally that mirrors some of the strategic moves we are making as a club and the ownership group.

I'd hope that we've learned from the Gerrard and MON years that it's madness to let the manager - whoever he is - to set the transfer strategy.

The away kit would have been nice if they had kept it simple.

I've always wanted synergy at the Villa.

And how much are Braga valued at?

According to Bloomberg, the Qatari's bought a 22% stake implying an overall valuation of 90 million euro.

[eamonn]

Wow. When you read how much the likes of Spurs are being touted as up for sale for, it's hard not to think that our owners got a bargain.

The biggest issue is V Sport is a rubbish name.  It sounds like a rubbish energy drink, or an Alchopop that would give you the shits for those of us old enough to remember them

The name of the business should be "The Legendary Aston Villa, and others"

Not sure this has much to do with Lange unless he identified Guimarães a few years back as a potential target. Apparently we've been after them for some time now. It was only when their current president got elected last March did things start to move. Agree about the chairs moving in the summer, Emery certainly seems to want his own man on board, where that'll leave Lange I've no idea.

Were this lot Jose Mourinho's boyhood team?

In theory you could ‘promote’ Lange to Head of DoFs at V Sports.  The rabble of clubs would be wise to consolidate their processes and that would not be a small task.
In the meantime bring in an individual to head up the villa side of the scouting etc.

Which are your Portuguese teams Rudy?
