    Troubled Championship side Aston Villa's Chairman Tony Xia has sold a 55 per cent stake
    in the Club to Egyptian multi-billionaire Nassef Sawiris.
    The latter could be joined by Wes Edens and they are not ruling out an eventual full takeover. The investment is unlikely to halt the sale of Grealish to Tottenham and James Chester to Stoke. They might have to also offload other big earners like Henri Landsbury and Conor Hourihane in order to meet their obligations under FFP. Speculation is rife, that another big earner, namely Steve Bruce could also be shown the door, to make way for Arsenal legend Thierry Henry who has quit his £2 million per year Sky punditry
    role to fulfil his life long ambition to become a football manager. Play off finalists and fourth place obviously not good enough for Sawiris, who has made no secret of being a big admirer of Henry.
    Where next for Bruce.?

    £2 million a year from Sky for Henry to share his “wisdom “. The media/football world is truly bonkers.

    I thought Alan Shearer being paid £500k was bad enough. Anyone who pays for a sky sports subscription is a mug.

    Well I’m glad their greed and our loss sees them insolvent, makes my faith in karma stronger.

    He was also getting a wedge as assistant to Belgium boss Roberto Martinez at the
    World Cup in Russia. Squad hold him in very high esteem apparently.

    Agreed. It's what comes of paying players salaries you can't actually afford.

    Would love them to implode.

    Another club who spent way above their means (and FFP) thinking it would all pay off in the promised land.

    Sounds like their fans can’t stand Xia. Strange... he was the best thing on the planet January 2017. Gambled with their existence.

    Put it all on red when it landed on black.

    Should be punished.

    Top flight football has a rotten core.
