This is fantastic news! The first time the sun has carried the stroy about the av06 70mil bid, and it is to announce that their shoddy campign of slander and lies is gonna be brought to an end tommorow supposedly! Dont no exactly how that works but maybe rothschild have had enough and said either show us what you got tommorow at least a presentation of your intentions/plans, or dissapear and stop discrediting Lerner in the press, perhaps in an attempt to speed up the return of shares so Lerner all but owns the club and can give O'Neill some money with 14days before the transfer window shuts. I personally believe that this is pretty much it and Lerner has won! with av06 having broken LSE rules he stands no chance now, not that he had much before. Reading cant come quick enough now, hopefully we shall be unveiling O'Neill Lerner and a few signings to a packed villa park!!!

Hey only 8 now :wink: 7 days when the LSE closes tonight!

This time next week i am convinced that we shall all be anxiously awaiting the close of business at the LSE, fretting that either Padfield or Neville will try and scupper the bid. The way i see it Lerners bid is perfect from top to bottom it seems as though good time and money have been spent putting it together. On the other hand we know nothing about the other potential bidders and i think that is beacause they relly arent in the same league as Lerner, hence the pathetic actions they are stooping to now. The words and feelings im getting form them is that they know that they dont stand a chance against Lerners bid but instead of leaving it be and having the clubs best interests at heart, they are trying by any means necessary to stop it by slandering him and belitting the his bid. With all the information i have read about Neville and Padfield since Randy Lerners bid i have one question to ask, is it wrong that i despise them both and wish them ill fortunes? To all people fortunate to be going to Arsenal, get as many USA flags as possible and let the USA chants be heard all game, perhaps some we want Neville/Padfied out chants to really emphasise our, the fans view to not only these 2 jokers but the press aswell, that will hopefully see us through smoothly to wed then!

The way i see it the situation with the takeover has come to the stage where it now is beginning to resemble a game of poker. I mean you can look at it this way, Lerner has the best "hand" hence his bid at this time, the other two still in are commited at this stage but essentially they have nothing, they cant beat Lerners "hand"(bid) and so are "drawing dead"(they aint got squat) but in an attemp to "steal the pot"(frighten Lerner away/outbid him) they are bluffing(they no they cant beat Randy), so they are hoping he "folds" either by pulling out of the deal because of a fan backlash or something along those lines. It wreaks of desperation on both parts if you ask me and as far as im concerned we all be hailing Randy and Martin at reading next wednesday. Neville has had a bid on the table for about a month now which hasnt been accepted so theres no way thats any good or that he can put together a better bid than Lerner in the next 9 days, no chance forget about him. AV06 seem like a similar bunch of jokers, i mean theres so many holes in their bid and they haven't even made a formal offer yet. The way that both Neville and AV06 have approached this takeover is both shoddy and amateurish, why? most likely because they have no background in being involved with sporting franchises, unlike Randy and boy can you tell with the difference in approach to the takeover. Lerner's just seems so much more professionall and essentially is researched and planned better so even if Neville/AV06 offer £200mil for the club and give us a blank cheque for transfers id be devestated if Randy didnt take over, he is exactly what we need, there is no chance these people can provide a better package than him! So down villa park next wed for one hell of a party me thinks!!!!! UTV USA USA n all that!
