Agree - what a pathetic statement - embarrassing - basing it on his own experiences - joker

sort of bloke who would talk about himself in the 3rd person. Like when he announced he was stopping doing his podcast as he was above all that now

I doubt it. They have been brought in to inject extra money ( not something NSWE are short of ). Also for their expertise in some particular field I would imagine?
Edit, their field is mostly broadcasting it appears. That opens all sorts of possibilities? Our own channel, increased coverage etc etc. All IMO and a lot of guess work lol.

So basically, it's a way of paying yourself money which will be or not be taken into account with FFP? Clear as mud to me

Only partially to do with FFP IMO. Much more likely for the expertise as well as looking at ways for extra revenue streams?So basically, it's a way of paying yourself money which will be or not be taken into account with FFP? Clear as mud to me

Not me.
Most likely we will never find out either. Behind the scenes financing ....who knows ...
Where's that Mike Field when we need him?

But we are a long way off being profitable. Football not something to get into if you want a ROI

By being associated with a successful club, you increase your own profile, so it’s not a linear arrangement. Consider it the same as someone sponsoring Tiger Woods, they don’t get a direct ROI, but loads of companies still invest.

That's true of course. But could they not achieved that by a sponsorship deal ?
I could be wrong but I don't see altoris looking to increase their brand profile through the purchase of a 20% stake in Aston Villa ...or v sports as it's called.
The approximate £80m purchase cost of these shares - whilst welcome is small beer to the likes of West + Naz.

You called?
As I get it this is wider business investment (V-sports) not Villa per se, so absolutely naff all to do with FFP - if that was the question?

But from the other angle, if our desire is their expertise - what better way to prioritise their expertise by having them invest and have their own profits linked to performance....as opposed to just employing them.
