I can't see how they can put a bid now surely, unless they are going to be right bastards and submit it first thing Wednesday morning :evil: One thing I need clearing up....Does anyone know if they do bid, can Ellis just knock it back and say no thanks I'm not recommending it ??? :? Yes Ellis (or Rothchilds) can indeed knock it back. Just thought though - technically the ten days would not expire until 7am on Thursday morning so they have until then to bid. its been said its actualy ten 9to5 days. so 5ish on Wednesday we'll know!

Yeah i dont like the idea of thewhole ground been renamed. But you can happily sell the name of Dougs stand or the North End. :wink:

i dont feel sorry for them. i hate them :evil:

This paragraph sums up why I want a sole owner and not a consortium! i concur

Walking along singing a song living in a randy wonderland Birmingham are you listening to the song we are singing youve won f*ckk all and we've lost our fool Walking in an randy wonderland

Didint know where to post this. But i just found it on your shout on http://www.icbirmingham.co.uk sounds like a good bloke

I ordered my Cleveland browns top last night. hope its here for wednesday!

he could run it as a PLC with his 58ish%?

i was just thinking actually. If 10% are AWOL. then 75% is harder to reach isnt it? and how may do you think will be held by small institutions? 75% might sound quite a lot, but in reality, it is only another 18.2% or thereabouts. I would suspect this figure has been arrived at knowing that some of the larger shareholders are happy to sell. For example I do know NTL had just under 10% and if sold, they are already well on their way to that figure (I don't know if NTL still do own their shares btw but this is for example) - So I would imagine Lerners advisors have already spoken to the other main holders to reach agreement. The odd one or two shares we hold is in fact peanuts - a mere drop in the ocean when you consider nearly 21% of shares are over 2.25 million in number! Ultimately I suspect that while those of us with a very very small stake sending them back might help, its the larger holders of shares who really make the difference and you can bet they have already been sounded out somehow. nice reply. Cheers.

Ifdoug did want to. Could he Right now sell his personal shares to lerner. thus effectively ending the speculation?

im hoping doug stays on, tries to meddle and gets chucked out.

this has p*ssed me off so much

ive just shot off an email to steve dyson seeing if he has any contacts at the post.

Who do i email about this article?? is it steve dyson again?? im f*cked off.

What a load of garbage, they obviously haven't a clue. I can't wait for this to be FINALLY over! who the f*ck are villa matters and why does someone who writes a fanzine not seen all the rebuttals that Randys people have said to these rumours! What a load of pure garbage. The bid is perfect in all senses as far as i can see. Whoever keeps this "caution cuz they will kill us" balls up, is a d*ck. If the Mail did there job they would of highlighted VFC's contact with Lerner here. D*cks He also strangled this club for the last 20 years, you idiots. Creating a club that is actually in debt at the moment! HES BUYING US IN CASH YOU MORONS! This man spent 12mill just to pay off a coach at his current NFL unit!!!! HES LOADED. Some fans get the club they deserve :evil:

SO..... if we hear nothing at close of play today we can hang this thread dry again??????

Just checking. :wink:

anyone watching SSN??

If the Buyers are not contacting fan groups then that is there problem and shows that their bid isnt in the best interests of everyone. The last interview i heard from padfield he was expecting the board to contact the AV06. doesnt sound like hes actively looking to bid does it!?!

im 99% sure its Randy that 1% is nagging the sh*t out of me tho

If they havent looked at the books or signed confidentiality for Due Diligence surely there takeover would take a while to go through!! Why cant they just bid then?? And stop wasting the clubs and our time! This Padfield bloke didnt even bother coming back off holiday a few weeks ago to even attempt to sort a bid for us out. How can he have our best interests at heart????

Well, they have quotes from the consortium, so regardless of media interest, they are going to bid. maybe. maybe not. I get the feeling padfield likes the sound of his own voice.

meaning evil?

So after months of waiting "for the right offer" the board have picked one. But all that waiting means jack if someone wants "bluff" and keep raising the stakes till people who are preffered bid are priced out of the game anyway!
