What’s happened to that one we paid £250,000 for? Spanish/South American girl?

That’s lot of money. Two and half Bruce Rioch’s worth.

Aston Villa Women's Football Club issued 111 shares for £5.5m (per unit: £49.5k) on 15 Oct.

The 111 shares represent 10% of total issues shares, aligning to reports in late June that Villa / V Sports agreed to sell 10% of AVWFC to external investors at a £55m valuation.

Confirms that this is a deal lined up before 30 June and a very easy approval for the PL. Reinforces the exceptional valuation achieved by Chelsea Women both on the Intra group sale and the Alexis Ohanian investment
