Why would somebody buying Aston Villa want to reduce their holding and power over any decisions they may wish to make by allowing a minor shareholder with less money at risk to have a say in the runnning of the club.
Just to upset a few, Greg Stanley suggested I join the board as a fans rep under Brian Bedson and the answer he received was "show us the colour of his money and he can". I must point out before anybody jumps that was when my stocktaking company did work for GS and long before Archer was on...
What a load of s..t if I had put money into club why should I have to sell it to a nobody. If I wanted to sell it would be to the best offer if I needed the money or to person I thought could do the job not a person who is popular with a certain clique.
