A mysterious businessman has taken over Aston Villa in hopes of achieving greatness; both on the field and off it. Not much is known about EnderFC, besides being rich.

Talks will soon be held between the new chairman and Unai Emery, to set new goals and visions for the future. 

What direction the club takes from here remains to be seen.

More coverage on this soon.

I just really like Leicester's squad. Maddison will either bring in a decent sum of money or be our star player. There's a couple of experienced players in Vardy, Jonny Evans,Ndidi, Tielemans etc. But they have young(ish) players in Harvey Barnes, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Daka, and Sammy Braybrooke (the youngest and most exciting one imo). I think that we should comfortably finish mid-table, and maybe even push for Europe

Exactly - if you’re investing money, then Europe should be very doable for you.

Welcome on board! The above posts had been updated with the Chelsea squad.

[Ender120201]

Novices should take the initiative, I guess.

#ThisJustOut

Villans, you might want to take your seats for this one. The new chairman has shown the exit door to multiple players of the team and Unai has tactically agreed to let EnderFC do it!! The players include :

Diego Carlos - sold

Leander Dendoncker - sold

Ashley Young

Bertrand Traore

Philippe Coutinho - sold

Perhaps the inclusion of ex-Liverpool star and Barcelona flop, is an indication of "out with the old and in with the new".

Nevertheless, new incomings are to be expected soon.

An insight on how transfer negotiations for players from NPC clubs are done. Apparently ChatGPT ain't too generous. 

[Ender120201]

#ThisJustIn 

Aston Villa have announced the signing of highly rated centre back Pau Torres from Villarreal in a player + cash deal. Torres, who was courted by major European powerhouses, said during his unveiling, "Unai and EnderFC were major factors for me choosing Villa. I hope to do well for this team."

Aston Villa have also snapped up Joe Gomez, who admitted his career on the brink of stalling, from Liverpool, with Calum Chambers going the other way. 

Denzel Dumfries is the latest addition to Villa Park, joining from Inter.

On these new signings, EnderFC said in the unveiling ceremony, "Defence is the cornerstone of any team. Only with a good defence can we think about good results. I believe Pau, Joe and Den will take our side to a new level."

@Kun Aguero - some questions for you 🙂

Spoiler

• Wages - how much do we need to care about wages? Will you increase the wage budgets, or will our AI managers need to balance the books?
• Selling - how can we sell / get rid of our unwanted players to non-Vibe teams?
• Loans - are you open to us Vibe clubs agreeing loan deals with each other?

[Kun Aguero]

You won't need to consider wages. I won't touch the wage budgets, so the AI managers will adjust it themselves, though I'm not entirely sure whether they will do that, but I'll make sure no teams will go into bankruptcy in game.

Same as buying players from NPC teams, let me know thru PM who you're interested in selling, and I'll give you the offers.

Yes, any form of transfer are allowed.

Double-Trouble Announcement

Southampton FC's new owners made TWO shock announcements this morning ...

New Sponsors

Southampton FC announce Red Bull as their new main sponsors for the season:

• ❌ We refused to be sponsored by a 'less ethical' nation state, nor the financial leeches called the Glaziers.
• ✔️ Therefore we choose to be associated by a high-energy brand like Red Bull.

Reports claim now Southampton will need to buy a player from an Red Bull associated club ...

 

5 Star Signings

Southampton FC announce 5 new star signings:

• GK Magic Mike Maignon and D/ML Theo Hernandez both join from Milan
• 20 year old DLC Josko Gvardiol joins from RB Leipsig - meeting the Red Bull sponsorship requirement.
• 19 year old DM/MC Jude Bellingham joins from Dortmund
• and 23 year old ST Victor Osimhen joins from Napoli.

In total these 5 players will cost Southampton 215m GBP from their new owner's pockets.

[Ender120201]

#ThisJustIn

We have some inside news from Villa Park. Reportedly, Diego Carlos is said to be unhappy at the expensive deals done for his position, and might be looking to move elsewhere.

For the record, new signing Pau Torres was signed for a fee of 40 million pounds in addition to ex-Villan Mings. And Joe Gomez was signed for 14 million pounds + long serving player Calum Chambers.

We currently do not have concrete information on Dumfries' fee, although he is said to cost around 30 million pounds. 

 

In other news, EnderFC faced his first rejection this morning, as @DanEnglish quoted an exorbitant price for one of his star players. Rumors suggest Villa might look toward Spain as an alternative to this.

Break-in NEWS..

Qatar Sports Investments have broken into the English Premier League with the help of Aston Villa and chairman EnderFC. Nasser Al-Khelaifi said, "We will bring in star players and achieve sporting success together."

Looking conflicted and excited at the same time, EnderFC had this to say," This partnership will be good for both parties and I hope we can stick together for a long time."

Looks like ethics and sovereign funding do not matter to this mysterious and rich businessman. He ONLY sees PROFITS..
