My pleasure :winkold:

So we are led to believe :winkold: But my question was rather, if an agreement regarding the takeover was in place, would it be possible for O'Neill to spend anything at all? Or would our hands be tied until the keys to the chairman's office at Villa Park had officially changed owner? MON IS IN. As I've said - initially he may not have a lot to work with, but in the long term he may.

Wow - now there is a first in itself - I agree

I really know nothing about this, but it should be possible to sort this out faster than that? If O'Neill really is lined up to take over tomorrow then I wouldn't exactly be surprised if an agreement regarding the takeover to be imminent. If an agreement is in place, then surely it would be possible for us to see some transfer action even if we weren't formally taken over yet? Someone care to enlighten me about this? MON is in. He may have a little to work with inititally, but after that, only time will tell

I think that there maybe a small amount of borrowing initially I thought the rules about takeovers meant that we couldn't sell or buy any assets/players? No cast iron bids are in - Ellis can tell them all to **** off if he wants. But he may allow some spending prior to the Villa being under offer. Any spending will impact on the potential sale of the club - I doubt, and as stated by the club, there will be any transfer activity until the takeover is completed. I think that it has gone way past that - and considering the possible purchasing power of a few of the bids, perhaps initially it will be small change

You aren't the same lee_av who was claiming 'insider knowledge' on the OS last summer? Seem to remember current members of this board being taken for a ride. If you're a different lee_av, accept my humblest apologies. no mate - that ain't me - never been on there - as for the knowledge

You don't believe me then? Multiple personality disorder? I agree - no I don't

Aren't we all being 'led to believe' by BBC? :winkold:

PP, its a done deal so I'm led to believe

You don't believe me then?

But we may have a nw manager

So O'Neil it is then

O'Neill might not be pissed off! Jez, who said he's pissed off? Have I missed something? It was reported on team talk and a couple of others that O'Neill wasn't happy. Dunno why though cause am sure he wont join until Ellis leaves! Cast iron then it is then

O'Neill might not be pissed off! Oh really, you know him personally then, or is this all gonna fail because of "Baggie Bill" :roll:

I'm sure that there are many lifelong Villa Fans that I don't know about too. I believe him to be a Villa Fan, I suppose that its down to him if he wants to stay in the shadows until recdently.

It really is an obsession isn't it Yup! Love the way he gets info of Ellis and prints it regardless :roll: .. and if he didn't?

Me neither.

I wanted DOl to go in May - unfortunately he stayed until July. Getting rid of him, whether it was by his own hand has been the catalyst to the revival of this thread.

Are you sure?

They have declared their interest - the same as the other groups and tye Villa Board have issued statements to the stock market as such. Nothing to see here.

Which we are all in agreement with
