He will then bugga off. Thats why he is a multi millionaire/ billionaire.

A dunt want to rehearse all the arguments all ovva ageean. If he gets the land cheap enough and is allowed to develop it to make a profit then the deal will go ahead and we will then ev to wait two or three years to see who is reyt. My money is on the experienced venture capitalist coming art on top.
And yet their record at OSC Nice is sound and have recently opened a brand new state of the art academy .

If the new ownership can maximise the land to create money coming into the club then wouldn't that be a good and sound business model rather than the land stood idle and full of weeds ?

If that land enabled us to keep our better players rather than having to sell them to championship rivals and bear the fruits of our labour instead of Aston Villa wouldn't that be a good thing too ?

I'm not certain what you mean about coming out on top , would doubling your investment also be classed as venture capitalism coming out on top ?
