I have 2 in 207

two reasons for this ;- 1) it deflects attention and conversation away from plane spotting....... 2) it clears the decks for uneasy questions that may get asked when due diligence takes place and even if the former bomb squad members aren't required by a new manager / owner it helps to make them more sellable (although not easy)...and in the meantime they can step in if needed as opposed to for example resigning Grant Holt...

I agree Nursey talks rubbish most of the time...was just interested on peoples opinion on it all

Based on what? thought he said a buyer was in place....Nursey says there isn't?

so we've established Kwan doesn't know anything either then?

twitter @RodneyMarsh 10 Martinez did not give #LFC an answer by Liverpool deadline. Now free to sign for #AVFC. Apparently DW has offered him a truck load to stay

odds for OGS drifting on betfair... Paul Lambert odds plummeting :confused:

Any idea where Randy arrived from?

own up who bought one share? LSE

Sounds good to me

so whys she still your girlfriend? :winkold:

can anyone tell me why its perceived to be such a crime to build a casino? Whats the problem if it creates funds and profits for Villa? The Mail loved it when Blues suggested it.

thanks Ian

I think once the club goes private again there will be no more shareholders meetings so to speak Actually I know the answer thinking about it........they held shareholder meetings prior to becoming a PLC and all Ltd Co's have shareholders meetings, so I have to disagree Totti, unless they get to the 90% plus

Ok so I understood all of that Richard.......can you or anyone answer me this..... I own 100 shares and am fully behind the Randy Lerner bid..... 1) Can I sell him 99 of my 100 shares. 2) If he gets more than 75% but less than 90% and the club delists then does that 1 share give me the right to attend shareholder meetings? As it happens when my offer docs arrive I'll probably sell the 100 anyhow, but I'd still like to know if anyone can help......hope that all makes sense!!

what I can't understand in all of this is that if Padfield & chums really want to win this bid why don't they come out and really try and convince the fans by naming who the consortium is. If their estimated wealth is what they say it is, I read a combined total of 10billion in last nights Mail then those names would get more backing from the fans if they are reputable people. I can't see a logical reason for not naming them. In addition to date we are told that they haven't signed a confidentiality agreement, so are unable to progress. I believe its all talk from Padfield, and badly done at that. I think we'll be welcoming Mr Lerner next Wednesday night.

I agree, just hope its done in principle for Reading at home, the place will rock

anyone else notice our share price has dropped 4p today allbeit on minimal trading LSE Clicky

but where was Doug going?, because he clearly wasn't going to Holland, he'd have been at the same airport as MON? Glasgow maybe?

Villa boss caught up in airport chaos Aug 10 2006 PASSENGERS suffering delays at airports around the UK following anti-terror raids this morning were in good company - Villa's Doug Ellis and Martin O'Neill's flights were also hit. Club chairman Ellis was caught up in the chaos after arriving at Birmingham Airport to catch a flight at at 6.15am. Villa manager Martin O'Neill meanwhile was caught up in the chaos at Heathrow and described the scenes as "complete bedlam". O'Neill had flown back to Britain from Villa's training camp in Holland, where the team are on a pre-season tour, and was expected back today. But he was one of thousands of air passengers to suffer severe delays ICbirmingham so where was Doug going?

really I hadn't heard that :shock:

I'm actually surprised that Mr Neville has more votes than Mr Still

it does say £5-10 million investments.......ie plural, it might be 3 * £5 million or 5 * £8 million (I wish). I think it means that we would not at this stage entertain paying more than £10 million for a player

limited info but I went Randy

I think I'm about to explode, thanks TT
