If Short decided enough was enough, and opted to sell the club, what realistically kind of numbers would it invole? reason for such a daft question...this Sky News understands that former Arsenal captain Tony Adams and a former Chelsea executive are seeking financial backing for a takeover bid for Aston Villa. The former Arsenal and England footballer Tony Adams has approached City investors about backing a £150m takeover of Aston Villa, the struggling Premier League club. Sky News has learnt that Mr Adams has been working with Paul Smith, a former executive at Chelsea FC and IMG, the sports rights agency, on a possible bid. http://www1.skysports.com/football/...aptain-tony-adams-in-aston-villa-takeover-bid Tony Adams running a club....free bar lads.
If we stay in the prem then I do believe the TV money from this year would see us out of debt and purely owing money to Short? After that he might see fit to start opening the cheque book as long as its within FFP...
We don't owe Short a penny. All our debts are to the bank(39m). Ellis converted his investment into shares increasing his stake in the club. He'll get his investment back when he sells. Whether he'll get more or less than he originally invested will in most part be down to which division we're in when he sells. I think he'd be reluctant to sell us in bad shape as it will be him who personally feels the pinch when he can't a get a good price on the club.
