Petchey may not be the major shareholder but if this was the case then he has enough clout to actually do something about it. No one is a majority shareholder.
ANd if the club was marketed properly or was sufficiently attractive enough then there would be no need to worry about the 5000 you mention who don't go. There would be 20,000 waiting to replace them.
Do you think our fan base is restricted to the amount of people we can get into the ground?
How noble the Villa Park martyrs are. How enlightened that they can see what us 'normal' Villa fans cannot.
Did your boycott mean you didn't go to Rotterdam?
No, you see Ellis wasn't in charge then
Not sure TBH. I think the behind the scenes of both sides are eager to resolve it.
The behind the scenes of Ellis being his family and the behind the scenes of the Comers being Villa fan Neville
Highly recognised by who exactly?
Take it from someone who was there. We were awesome for three seasons. We were champions of Europe. That is officially the best club side in europe.
Villa fans in playing down the history of the club shock. Or should I say you call yourself fans. Disgracfeul
Onto the takeover.
The month was up
The 48 hours is now up
What next?
I think there's more to it than price.
My comment on the £11 was that I doubt very much whether Ellis takes his responsibility to shareholders very seriously at all. I suspect he sees them as a hinderance.
As such if I believe that he ignores his responsibility to them, then I cannot see how he is working with their interests at heart now
What about those that invested £11 per share?
Not necassrily the case you see. It is his responsibility to act as stewared of the company for shreholders and stakeholders. Return on investment is never guaranteed. The value of shares can go down as well as up.
I'd agree with this Mike.
In addition I don't think that people can call Ellis a liar and say he lies all the time and then go and believe him over this. That just wouldn't be consistent would it.
Purchases yes. In fact I wouldn't be surprised to see the takeover drag on past the end of Jan or thereabouts, only to collapse and offer up a good excuse for Ellis.
Loans, however, are a different matter
I'd heard that the Comers have actually pulled out because they thought they were buying Leeds and Ellis said, "At least we aren't Leeds".
Or is it because Ellis wouldn't sell them the patent and copywirght to his bicycle kick?
The Comers set up AVIL to carry out this takeover. Is it true that Ellis has responded by setting up his own company to thwart this called EVIL , Ellis Villa Interference Limited ?
