Aston Villa co-owner Wes Edens’ investment group has launched a bid to buy Danish club FC Copenhagen, according to reports by Reuters.

The Fortress Investment Group is a company founded by the Villa co-owner and is in talks to buy a stake in FC Copenhagen, who are Denmark’s most successful domestic team and regularly qualify for the Champions League or Europa League.

Edens’ group are looking to buy LD Fonde's 29 per cent stake in Copenhagen’s parent company, Parken Sport & Entertainment.

So is the move a positive for Villa? Do you see it having any impact on the Villans?

"It seems smart.

"English clubs owning shares in foreign clubs is a common occurrence and has worked well for many of them.

"It could well see a more stable future for the club."

Jay Taylor

"Maybe he is looking to buy the Dutch side to be a feeder club for Villa to send their young loan players out to.

"Or maybe he just wants another football club and to build another project.

"Who knows the reasons behind the interest, but I can’t see how this is going to affect Villa too much – they will remain the priority.”

Gary Hutchinson

"I’m not a fan of companies having clubs in a ‘portfolio’ as such, but I suppose that is life.

"It makes something very special, personal and emotional no more than a business.

"There will be Villa fans getting excited at possible link-ups, but for me it’s nothing to be excited about.

"So you’re a commodity to some rich guy? Wow."
