Randy Lerner has been looking to sell Aston Villa since the summer and had given the task of selling the club to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Two parties have showed their intent of purchasing the club and have already held discussions in regards to a potential take over. However there are two issues that may impact the sale of the club.
Firstly, Premier League survival. A common theme that is always brought up when discussing the sale of the club. Should Aston Villa get relegated the current price of roughly £100 million would drop significantly. But it’s unknown whether or not relegation would have an impact of the clients interest in the club.
Coincidentally, should Villa stay up, Villa would benefit from the £5 billion TV broadcast deal effectively increasing the value of the club. But it’s unknown whether or now Lerner will increase the price of the club should this occur.
While the sale of the club may not rank very high on the list of concerns a Villa fan may have; it’s still good to see that there are two serious parties and some level of discussions have already taken place. A new owner by the summer transfer window would be fantastic, as fresh investment might potentially steer Villa club of a relegation battle for at least a season.
I can’t understand that lineup.
It’s like I suggested the other day; That starting X1 must be performing the best in training.
Which is worrying.
N’Zobia had better perform tonight. How he’s getting in before Gil, is just beyond me.
Agree mate why no Gil he’s been our best player if late. Don’t get it
What did I say , the whole club is ruined, I cannot believe that line up, 2-1 Albion.
Why have our 3 recent scorers all been dropped ffs.
Bizarre decision, i can’t help but feel we are being dragged down to the Championship by a bunch of clowns.
I’m sure this tossers come in to further ruin the club. (Watch me forced to eat my words tonight)
No width, its fucking shit. Easy night ahead for WB. Bring back Lambert 😉
Yeeesssssssss!!!!!
THAT IS WHY GABBY IS IN THE FUCKIN SIDE!!!!!!
Gabbbbbyyyyy!!!!!
Get in there
Get in there helenius do you want salt & pepper with it????
He’d eat yr athletes foot crusts for three points!!!
LOL 😀
You’re not wrong bumbum!
Villa Villa Villa get in
So close!!!!!
6shots 4 on target things aren’t improving??? 0 & 0 baggies LOL
We should be 4 up by now…
Just hope we keep it up 2nd arf.
Although a little shaky that’s a great first half. Hopefully Tim has woken them up and we’re going to see the same fight and desire 90 mins every game to the end.
Oohah. My hero. There I am out of the closet. C’mon you Villa
Keep up that work ethic and WB don’t stand a chance!! Every game should be played like that, not just because we’re desperate n its a derby.
Still only 1 goal in it tho
Good first half. Much more positive. Baggies have been shit so far. Might be a different second half. I’ll be glad when it’s over as I feel sick!
Oh that’s so much better but where is Lady Luck; why has she deserted us UTV
Like u all couldn’t understand the line up but have this team shown passion and fight – at last UTV
Agreed great passion. Oohahs positivity flowing into the veins lol
I can’t take much more of this. Nerves are in tatters ! Need more goals second half. Hope Benteke has one or two in him.
