Aston Villa financial crisis so bad Steve Bruce told they cannot even afford FREE transfers https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-financial-crisis-bad-12822121
John Percy @JPercyTelegraph Aston Villa sack director of football Steve Round as club chiefs jet out for talks with manager Steve Bruce. The EFL has also written to Villa to ask for proof of funding ahead of the new season.
John Percy @JPercyTelegraph #avfc in advanced negotiations with a Middle East consortium, believed to be from Egypt. Understand Dr Tony Xia is close to agreeing a full sale.
Maybe it is our Egyptian owners and the twitter announcement that is pending is their departure?? Or maybe they'll merge us and have Aston Villa Tigers 2 018
Where there's a will there's a way, Xia wants to sell and the Allams haven't been as desperate to sell...yet.
Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews BREAKING: Aston Villa announce businessmen Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens are to "inject significant investment" into club. Dr Tony Xia will become co-chairman and remain on Villa's board. #SSN
It just goes to show if there is a will to do something it can be done quickly, unlike our owners who lie through their teeth.
When Tony Xia found out that the money in the suitcase was all fake, he felt sorry for them and gave them a £20 note that John Terry had left in the dressing room, before sending them on their way.
So this means we're finishing 24th after all? ****ing hell, I thought 23rd was a real possibility before this!
