Can someone clarify about this 3 bid scenario.

And while you're there would you know if it is likely that Januzaj could join on loan whilst we have Tom Cleverley?

Saturday cannot come soon enough. I've got a free pass from the family to watch football from our kick off through to final score - accompanied by beer, lots of beer. So in an ideal world, we draw at Saints, with some entertaining football, which injects some jeopardy into the day, which gives me a pass to watch the Hull game which they lose 16-0 and then it's time to get completely mullered and into a state that prevents me from being trusted to bathe infants. Then roll on an FA cup win, megabucks new owners and the brightest future villa have had since I cannot remember when. If Carlsberg did Saturdays.

Cheer up men, three bids is excellent news, I trust Randy to choose the right buyer - may it be the Chinese and the untold revenue streams imported from the motherland!

It's hard to tell what we're dealing with at the moment. Maybe when we're safe more will come out.

Yep, today's sky sports article says nothing new, however it does say that it is unclear if Halo have the money or not - which is a change from what Sky news first reported - so they clearly don't know, whereas ol Pat Murphy and John Percy at the Telegraph are quite sure the money is already there and haven't changed that stance since the story broke. If the money IS there, then it's a question of who's money it is...

Wonder of Chris Ramsey will be headed this way next season...

He'll go for england and will be yet another villa product for the national team. He's got the perfect manger at the mo, he's got a love for the villa and I don;t worry that he's ever going to do a sterling. He keeps improving then villa are going places.

As villa fans we've been conditioned to expect the worst, we all thought spurs and everton would do us, we all thought against west ham we'd bottle it, but all our conditioned thoughts have since been proven wrong by a manager and team who are playing freely and full of confidence. We do this next season, with investment and we'll be doing very well.

Nearly there. This has been the closest season to relegation yet. It is staggering how Sherwood has got the players calm, relaxed and confident in these games, games where had we lost just one of Spurs or Everton, we would be deep in the mire. I think he must be a hypnotist.

We win, sunderland and leicester lose, then worst situation to relegate us that could possibly happen is that sunderland need to win their last two. Not mathematical but in that scenario, we are basically safe.

C'mon stinking rich new owners, let's pay CB top dollar and make some history.

I feel sorry for the people who can't help themselves, in a compassionate society they get looked after, but in the next 5 years they will most likely die, and that in the eyes of the conservatives is fair enough. Sickening.

This thread is going to get locked tomorrow.

Oh sweet relief, please dear lord let it happen.

Cisse hadn't trained only a week ago, he won't be up to speed until it is too late. Que a hatrick...

We'll get relegated now

Just a thought but Tony Adams is not the reason Delph signed his contract.

Tom Fox denies any takeover, describes such talk as dangerous - then this comes out - maybe smoke and mirrors to keep us all off the scent?

The question is, are Gilan Holdings involved? How many billionaire friends does Tony Adams have?

Of course Adams and the Azeri could also have parted company and Adams can't let go of his plan and is now seeking other investment. Lerner's got better options, the article says so.

Well I'm glad this is the first real leaked buyer, clearly on purpose for some reason or other. I don't mind the idea of a successful footballer being involved, better that than a straight investment group looking to turn a profit. Adams is bezzie mates with the loaded Azerbajanis previously rumoured to be buying us, plus the sponsorships guy from the Baku games is now at Villa, so might actually be ok....

Newcastle have had a 'talk' and they've all decided to pull together for the last 3 games. Ain't gonna work, they do not have a leader anywhere, and if West Brom score they will fall apart, at St James and it will be ugly. Tempted to watch a stream of that game instead of Villa!

So Newcastle have one defender available, their ineffective captain. They will be playing midfielders at the back - against the baggies who like a set piece. It will be at least  2 goals to WBA. Sunderland go away to Everton who will want to prove a point after losing to us. Leicester must play Saints at their place - that one I cannot call. We beat West Ham and it's practically over - almost definitely over if Leicester lose too.

We've been consistently good lately and against the likes of spurs, pool, citeh, everton. If anything this is the least difficult game we've had in a while - so another test of what we're made of - can we win the sort of game we should be winning? I can't see how we'll lose it.

The problem Newcastle has is that nobody in leadership positions has what it takes to oversee another win - not the owner, the manager or the captain. If they get lucky, they might get an individual performance that makes the difference in a game but I don;t know who that would be. Cisse ain;t back yet - may not be back at all after knee surgery during his suspension.

Carver staying till end of season - ho ho.
