I think quite the opposite, leaving today makes it appear as though he is leaving of his own will. Rather than trying to hang on but the new owners not involving him in their plans. He was always going to leave after the board fell apart.

I honestly can't even imagine what it'll feel like to see a post on the official site saying a takeover has gone through. It's almost as if we all know that nothing is going to happen and have just decided to play a really cruel game amongst ourselves by pretending it's going to! Does anybody ever check twitter or look on here and actually expect something to have happened?!?! I'm not saying I don't think it's happening btw just can't actually imagine seeing it in black and white!

posted twice

hahahahahahaha! I'm not going to get drawn into anything silly but Howard didn't 'confirm' anything, he didn't claim to be in the know and was just talking about rumours.

Absolute bull. I listened to him on WM on the way back from work and Howard didn't say anything even remotely like that! He was just talking as a fan and said he didn't know who it was and that he reckons more than 1 consortium is in the running. That guy's totally made that up!

China Wah Yen Healthcare's total shares = £186m Top shareholder is Atlantis Investment Management (Hong Kong) Ltd who own just 2%

Sochaux recently got relegated to Ligue 2, before that they'd spend 66 consecutive years in ligue 1. More than PSG.

They also own a sports brand in China that looks pretty big called MEGAFIT. Maybe they can sign Gabby up

As I have no work in the morning and have been reading for the past hour ...I've discovered that Rui Kang are actually owned by a company called China Wah Yan Healthcare Limited link to website - http://www.chinawahyan.com/index.php?CompanyOverview They appear to own 2 businesses, Rui Kang (Who they took full control of very recently) and another company caller IR Resources who essentially cut down the Cambodian rain forest and sell wood and agricultural products. Damn it i also found out some other interesting stuff but i've deleted the tabs by mistake. But that group is run by an 'award winning entrepreneur' who's studied at Uni in UK and USA.

OMG I FORGOT WE WERE TAKEN OVER AFTER THE FA CUP FINAL TOO!!! http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/aston-villa-takeover-chinese-consortium-5555974 Aston Villa takeover: Chinese consortium plan purchase just HOURS after FA Cup final

Also Ellison isn't fecking interested!!!!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_government-owned_companies_of_China It's not on this list of government owned companies.... The guy who wrote the article is a boxing correspond and it's in the Mirror. Lets not get ahead of ourselves.

I've got dejavu, wasn't somebody adamant that Di Matteo was going to be the manager a few years back??

Yeah only the real superstars like Gabby get into the team and stay there. Forever..... and ever..... and....

If you're disabled, just to let you know I believe the back rows of the North Stand are being redeveloped to be a disabled area?

I'm calling very weak journalism here. If you go to companies house, type in AVFC. 4 companies come up. AVFC 1874 LTD is the only recent one that lists a director. Pure guess work.

He'll either be brilliant next season or completely fade into insignificance in my opinion. Can't see there being anything in between.

100%. It'll be because they're holding them for existing season ticket holders. I'd imagine around 40% of season ticket holders won't renew so that will free up a lot of seats after the deadline to renew.

Couldn't give a shit this season about the kit!! Only interested to see who's going to be wearing it!

Is he actually any good? Not looked anything special to me (although i've hardly seen him)

Yes I know. But in his first loan with them he was one of the best players they had, this time round that's not been the case. Lansbury is noticeably streets above him.

Not a chance he'll stay

Notts Forrest fans saying he's been a bit crap this loan spell overall....

We keep him, he scored 20 league goals next season easy.

He did used to play at left back for Newcastle........
