Skybet's suspended betting on SWP going to the spammers

He probably will end up there

But didn't skybet suspend all betting on bellamy coming to villa and then he went to blackburn the next day

Ye and James Beattie

Earnshaw is Welsh

Wouldnt mind Lua Lua as you said he's got pace and can score. He might be injured still though..got taken off against us.

Yes it seems so lol

MON said he doesn't think we'll have new players before the United-game on Saturday, that's one week out of four...

The tension is killing me, it really is. I *so* expected us to have tied up half a dozen deals by now. Whats going on ffs?

Same here, was really suprised to here him say that don't know why just expected somebody sooner I guess

Don't know if this has been posted anywhere but MON was at the Blues Preston game today. Nugent, Upson... anyone else??

Would you believe it? MON goes to watch Nugent and McSheffrey scores a hattrick !!!!

Maybe the new tactic should be to buy McSheffrey just to get him out of the sha team and make it harder for them to get promoted back to the Prem ! Failing that, would some one give the General better co-ordinates or more accurate cruise missiles ?

lol I thought that, McSheffreys been looking a good player... could he make the step up? not that MON was there for him just a thought.

Don't know if this has been posted anywhere but MON was at the Blues Preston game today. Nugent, Upson... anyone else??

If MON really wants him and were still around 4th-7th place with West Ham as far away from us as they are now then I'm pretty sure he'd choose us.

Although I think if a bid is going to be made it will be made Monday, but I dont think that will happen either.

IMO it isnt going to happen. Spoiling tactics from a bad loser

Thats exactly what it is.

Villa takeover faces rival bid

Randy Lerner's proposed takeover of Aston Villa is set to be challenged early next week by a group fronted by Nicholas Padfield QC.

American billionaire Lerner had his bid to take over the club accepted, with shareholders recommended to accept the bid from the Cleveland Browns owner which values the club at £62.6million.

Padfield, a deputy high court judge, heads the AV06 group who are putting together another bid.

A source close to the group said: "It's likely the consortium will be joining forces with others - watch this space."

Other consortia linked with AV06 include local businessman Michael Neville and a group of foreign investors represented by Athole Still, agent of former England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson.

A formal offer could be made next week and it is believed Padfield's group would guarantee an instant transfer kitty of £30million to new boss Martin O'Neill during the August transfer window.

Clicky

Didn't Michael Neville say a week or 2 back that he wasnt joining with Padfield and has never even considered it?? Anyway just an article to fill a page nothing new at all.

Although I think if a bid is going to be made it will be made Monday, but I dont think that will happen either.

I think I'm starting to understand everything now, thanks guys.

I know this has probably been asked before but I can't find it, so if Lerner doesnt get that 75% he wont be able to have the Villa or am i just being stupid?

I know what you mean Kiddybloke, I know I shouldn't have but I've pinned my heart and hopes on the Lerner bid. Its gonna be a long 9 days but I think we'll still have Randy!
