An apparent true story. At this event Bobby Davro was on stage and said 'Aren't you Doug Ellis, Chairman of Aston Villa?' DE smiling.... 'Yes, thats me' BD ' Mr.Ellis did you ever meet Frank Sinatra?' De 'No, unfortunately not' BD ' Never mind you soon will' And some people say some on here are cruel

Still I have not heard anything that confirms it is actually happening :?

Come on Ali.... we both know that such action won't be required soon the 'reaper' will have visited.

Not getting excited at all.... I've learnt the hard way not to. Merely giving facts. I haven't even heard he is definately on or even any other comment then I read elsewhere. If anything it is going to be a 'tits up' statement about the takeover.

Why 07.00 ????????...... thats the funny one..... why not on Butlers programme tonight if it was a normal interview. Makes more sense than the morning drive show.

It has been posted on 'another site' that Michael Neville is on Radio WM tomorrow morning at 07.00. This is the time announcememnts of significance are released via the stock exchange. Anyone listened to WM that can confirm?

Ellis is a lying bastard as well

But if he croaks it will the family accept a lower bid?.... remember Ellis insists he won;t sell to Comer and Co.

Look go easy.... I'm already having a bad day

Petchey was barred for 6 months from making another offer when he officially withdrew last time. He can approach again on 1st March 2006

Old Fart There are all sorts of wierd and wonderful posts on this site that offer all sorts of wierd and wonderful views and opinions of Aston Villa and all who sail in her.......... but one thing that should NEVER be forgotten is we love OUR club with untold passion and sometimes we show our passion too literally.

No!.... it's my opinion in response to the Honourable Gentlemans post. It seems your post falls better into that category

Thats it then. Lets all forget about any chance of glory, winning or success. :? Mind you I thought the reason that many fans on here are clamouring for the removal of Ellis and some for DOL is that they are in realityville and want things to change to have a chance of returning to fantasy lane. Or is it just the case that someone is talking b******s? :winkold:

What this article does raise is that IF Ellis was in anyway likely to sell to Comer and Co WHY would Rothschild go to the tme and considerable expence of producing and publishing glossy materials to distribute world wide offering the club for sale? It confirms the information I had in late December (page 14 of this thread) that Ellis has no intention whatsoever to sell to Neville, Comer et al.

Is that the same as posting for effect?

Not important Malcolm just an 'arrogant prig' as you so eloquently like to say. Please forgive me for failing t oagree with your every word and daring to have an opinion of my own. I know you are the expert on all things AV as you are so quick to tell us. A discussion board thrives on differing opinions so if you don't like it you know what you can do! Other than not saying O'leary is the next messiah exactly what did the above post do to cause yo to act so childishly.... please tell oh lord and master!

This is the main problme Gringo as no one is saying anything. Generally I am supportive of Nevilles bid but only as it means Ellis will go BUT he still needs to convince me he and his group are the best thing for AVFC. If they came out with their plans they may get a lot of support from fans and that would help the transition if/when they take over.

If so thats one more than you Malc Funny last time I looked at the table we had 30 points. There are several games we should have won this season and failed for one reason or another. We will be safe if we beat Pompey, B-lose and Baggies BUT will the team that goes out have the fight for such games?.... we were out fought only a few weeks ago by West Ham so whats changed? Two local Derbies that are alsways unpredictable and Pompey may have gelled by then. By the time we play Sunderland they will be down and hopefully we will know we are safe so it is the other three matches that count. Contrary to Malcolms views of me I WANT Villa to do well, win and succeed BUT with poor management from top to bottom it ain't necessarily gonna happen.

Like the wins we should have had v West Spam and Barcodes

So maybe the money is there for buyingthe club but clearly the £20m a year transfer kitty isn't. If this was their stated intention from the beginning why is it not there now?

That response is a gauntlet thrown down at the feet of the Evening Mail..... as is said above their response will be interesting.

But the fact there is nothing to debate now means it pointless. i dont know if its possible but maybe it should be frozen until some real factual evidence becomes available. Well leave it to those, like John and Ian who are doing a good job

Why d osome people want this thread closed? They aren't forced to read it but some of us still wish to read and debate this issue

How many more times are you going to say that or something similar? How many more times are you going to insert :yawn: one of these after someones post? As I said several pages ago if you don't like it don't bother and leave it to those who wish to post to do so without inane comments from you.

Obviously looks are deceptive if they are worth a billion!
